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

Susan, edits and comments insent.

To Be or Not To Be: Upside Down Drabble

The anticipation was excruciating.

Trips into Madison two or three times a year were very special occasions. Christmas was coming. I felt on tenterhooks as the car cruised down the highway. Despite the snow in the fields, the road was clear. Coming in to the S-curve, it suddenly felt like we were skating. As the car fishtailed into the second half of the curve we went airborn over the cornstalks. My brother’s body dropped onto mine, slamming me into the door. While the car hovered there, on the edge of uncertainty, all I wondered was “would it or wouldn’t it?”

Hi!

It's very late and I doubt anyone's around, but I just finished another essay and am looking for beta readers. Any takers?

If no one is around tonight, I'll ask again tomorrow.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I'm in.

I can't even.

Hey Kristin, I'm still up (I don't leave the mountain time zone until tomorrow). I could give some quick feedback tonight, then more measured feedback late tomorrow night.

It's still super fresh and new--I just finished it, so I've barely even looked it over. All I really want right now is some general feedback (I may change my mind after a reread tomorrow and request more specific).

Thank you both! Insent in a sec...

Send, ma'am, but I won't get to it until tomorrow. Was baking.

Backflung, Kristin. That's great stuff to be capturing in your own voice.
