I like Langley...although I'm not sure that I have background enough for my opinion to count... Good luck with the conference thing.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

If she won't do what you need her to do, then you'll have to rescind won't you? The agent probably thought she'd just get a chance to talk to people or be on a panel.

Degree Drabble (100 words, slipping in under the wire)
Sometimes it is easy, even preferable. Being alone, having my own space, making my own schedule. I slip into solitude, comfortable and natural. Wednesdays mean I have to share again, bend my time around someone else.
Other times, his absence is a growling ache in my chest, a heavy loneliness weighing down my routines. I see him in everything I am doing, hear him in everything I say. I wait for the buzz of my phone: a text message from another anonymous airport or a few words between shows.
How much do I miss him? It’s a matter of degree.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Langley, from Langlois? Could work.
Commiserations on the agent-booking. They are tricky suckers.
Tep, it's Monday. Challenge?
edit: oh, Kristin, that's lovely.

Well, she knew she'd be spending all of Saturday in group appointments with conference attendees.
I'm feeling really stupid now for not bringing it up, the more so because she's pretty high on my personal target agent list. If I have to rescind, that'll mean taking her off and hoping she never mentions that airheaded, annoying Susan W. to any of her colleagues.

Susan, I'm sorry about the agent woes.
Deb, thank you. It bubbled up this morning and needed to be written.

Just talked to the conference chair, and we've decided it'll be fine to let her not judge, since we have five categories in the contest and are planning for six editors and agents. Phew!

Yay!
And now she'll have you in her mind as someone reasonable and accommodating.

Susan, that's a very good way to get off the hook. One reason less to worry.

Sorry -- me so slow today.
New drabble topic! Challenge #41 (degrees) is now closed; thank you for playing. We have some lovely parting gifts for all the contestants.
Challenge #42 is fire. Just no Beavis & Butthead, please.
(Heh. Heh heh. Fire. Fire fire fire.)
