Thanks, everyone...I thought about quitting cause it seemed silly or superficial.Whether or not, it wants to be more than maybe I do.(And some mystery writers are/were highly political individuals, so it wouldn't *have* to. Be silly and superficial that is.)
Love makes you do the wacky.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
erika, go write, damnit.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yup, yup, erika. Seconding deb's damnit.

What, now? I'll write two, they're small. :)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hey erika, come sit in the I Will Never Get Over How Silly and Superficial I Feel Corner with me and write anyway.
It feels really really good.

But I wanted to grow up and be the poor man's Molly Ivins. And that didn't happen. And I am not likely to really create the lovechild of Chandler and O'Connor either...I might be weird for finding that a goal, even. But being in a corner with Allyson...not all bad, considering I named my lead for you, Allyson.

Awwwww. Does she have a zit the size of Omaha on her left cheek? Because I do. Ouch.

Apparently, I'm the poor man's Florence King.
You can still be the poor man's Molly Ivins.
The poor need good reading, too.

I call poor man's Lorrie Moore.

People have compared my writing to hers sometimes, but apart from a certain shared pleasure in wordplay, don't see it...and I hope that doesn't sound vain because the writers that said that were my friends, and trying to tell me I'm funny.

Yeah, I really don't see much Mooreness in your writing either. Not in a bad way, of course. You have different styles entirely. But she's a wicked punstress.
