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.
Nice acronym, Mom!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

And of course, she is on my turf in "People Like That Are The Only People Here"ETA: And we both do the puns, sometimes. I think maybe if I'd not gotten re-genrefied over the last few years that might be more true. But rediscovering the taste for murder and mayhem sort of killed my sensitive college stories. I found the novel I wrote at age 20 last week....it's a jumpcutting Maupin fic at heart, with NO transitions. But I could tell I had no chops so I didn't finish. Anyone want to point and laugh? I could send it to you. I hope I'm better now!

I don't think I knew you were a Moore fan. I'm going to send you my Moore ripoff/homage.

Why not, you've seen my Simon and Chandler ones. Interesting, us stealing...um, homaging, outside gender lines...what does it all mean?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I don't know that I consider anyone here a poor man's anything.
I sure as hell don't consider myself one, either.

I'm not sure that I do either, Deb. It was just a figure of speech, since no matter what, I can't *be* Miz Molly. And thank God she's not done yet, anyway.ETA: Insent for the Spectral Bovine.

I want to be the rich man's Connie Neil, and have them give me obscene advances and movie deals.
Dream big.

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
I have a story in need of beta. Anyone interested in helping me out?

I will, if you can wait a day or so for a response. Dream big. I do, Connie. Just not this week. They don't come true very often, even my little ones.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Karl, welcome! erika, more book! Allyson, send me stuff to beta.
Leaf herding is hard. So very tired and achy now.
