It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Kristin, back to backflungs.

What is even happening?
Challenge 33: The Passage of Time (100 words)
Julia turns six, today. I resisted five with all my might, just last year. Just yesterday.
Where's that pretty newborn—curl atop her head? Where are the thighs with rolls so plump—the chubby cheeks? Long and lean, there's no waddle when she walks, although she will try to wiggle. Where'd the sloppy wet kisses go? Where's the infant who'd gleefully throw herself backwards with all her might, not giving one thought to me failing to hold onto her? Where is my baby? Who's this great, big, beautiful girl? Why am I blessed with ringside seats as she finds out?

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
Brynn, if Miriam Toews was your CW prof then we must live (or have lived?) in the same city... her Writer-in-Residence office was just down the hall from me last year.

drabbling
It was a high school graduation present, the best in portable typewriters. Where I went, it went. Hundreds of pages, dozens of characters, rolled from under the keys.
"Is that an electric?" people asked, awed at my typing speed.
"Nope."
College, to home, to college, then to Utah. It came west with me before my car did. It was my voice, and I couldn't leave it behind.
The keys became stubborn, ribbons became harder to find, and those new word processors caught my eye.
My left knee is resting against the case. I know how to create typewriter ribbons. The keys just need a little oil. I think I'll have them bury it with me.

"I'd rather discuss the permutations of swordplay, with an undertone of definite allusion to sex." Beverly, offering an example of when your characters give you 'tude.
Dani: !@!Y@!
You live in Winnipeg?! How could you be so close without me knowing, without me taking you out to lunch?
(whoop reading Deb's post caused me to write Deb vs Dani.. too excited to locate a Winnipeg-ista!)

Brynn, you should totally take Dani out to lunch. Her small son, IIRC, has a charming way of skewing Nirvana lyrics...
