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.
Deb, thank you. Insent and hoping you like it.
Backflung, Kristin. That's great stuff to be capturing in your own voice.
Thanks for early feedback. Version 2 backflung to all three of you.
Drabble: Upside Down
(100 words, excluding title)
I have never been graceful. A stray comment about my awkwardness stung me, and that wound hasn't healed. I never go out to clubs, preferring the reptilian solitude of my book-lined cave.
But the music ....
Some have their boy-bands and puppyslash as guilty pleasures; mine is a silly retro band called the A-Teens -- bubblegum ABBA covers by generically pretty European teenagers. No serious-music cred here, no philosophical lyrics that demand attention, no complex rhythms or harmonies to distract from the sense of forward motion.
Upside down, dancin' on the ceiling ....
And my dragonish inner child chair-dances, unashamed.
I am deeply, deeply shamed.

Every thought I've had for this topic involves Pap tests.
And my dragonish inner child chair-dances, unashamed.
Karl! Tagline, please? Pretty please?
I know...that is pretty. Not like me, but pretty.
Well, it was between that one and the reptillian book-lined cave line. But the chair-dancing is happier. I can use a little happier.
