Congrats, Susan!
I have to wait until a proper computer for the DZ cutery.

'The Message'
Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Dreamland Barbecue,
Num num num num... I get my Dreamland fix once per year when the local Alabama bar orders in Dreamland for the Bama v. Auburn game.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
We usually go to the one in Birmingham when I visit my family for the holidays, but one of these days I keep meaning to order some flown out here for a special occasion. Maybe my launch party if/when I ever sell a book!

Susan, wonderful news!
Jessica's sprog is cuter than cute! So funny!
So, since we're on the topic...I just got validation in my use of the serial comma. The transcription company I'm doing tests for to become a contractor insists on the use of the serial comma. GO SERIAL COMMA!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
The serial comma is a waste of commas that could be usefully employed elsewhere.

The serial comma is a lovely punctuation mark. Like a grace note that adds so much.

Because books.
He was making that sound ALL afternoon. I nearly died.
He's totally telling you stuff, dude. All about the toy he can't reach and how much he likes being able to prop himself up on his elbows and how smooth the floor is. You just can't understand it yet!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
But...but...but...I love the comma!And the ellipse...
