The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Whee! Yay, Deb!!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

"Gimme a three! Gimme a B...!"

I just am floored and amused by this stuff. There are writers out there - Anne Rice and Thomas Harris come to mind - who live in the headspace of "no editors shall sully my perfect masterpiece with their greasy fingers! Back! Down! Die! Go!" And here's me, the opposite, perfectly willing to hand a chapter of WIP to some guy cleaning elephant poo at the circus, and beg him to tell me what he thinks will make it better.

Life is very weird.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yay, Deb! That's fantastic!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Way to go, Deb!

Uh-huh. And look at how much the quality of Rice's work has plummeted these past few years. You might not be making her big bucks yet, but I'll bet you'll never publish dreck.

In other news, I've written 24 haiku about comic books today. Need to write about that many more before tomorrow. Dear Lord, how do I get myself into these fixes?

I'm doing a reading tomorrow, at a comic book store in Worcester. Which should RAWK. But, I promised I'd participate in a comic-book haiku deathmatch. OK, I pretty much instigated the comic-book haiku deathmatch. And now it's been widely advertised, so I have to come through. Pretty sure I can carry it on twenty, but I'd prefer to go in with around fifty.
