Damn that's good writing. Will have to practice some of that.
Pfft. That, and world building, character defining, are what I can do fairly well. But I can't find a story to tell, or sustain one.
Heh. DH, reading over my shoulder, "You always were a method actor."

Heh, and now I'm looking for that corner. The one where the guy in the Sesame Street trenchcoat hangs out, "Psst. Hey kid! Wanna buy a story?"
Didn't The Believer (another one of the McSweeney's magazines) have a section for a while of orphan stories? Plot bunnies that various authors had running around in the hutches in the backs of their brains that they knew they'd never have the time or energy to attend to, so they were putting them up for adoption? I've been seriously thinking about rooting back through the archives, because some of those orphaned bunnies were kind of appealing.
I think Dead Alice may be a character bunny. I mean I think the piece stands alone as a piece of Flash Fiction. (That may be ego talking.) But I really like her as a character, and would love a better fiction writer to adapt her and do something with her.

I seem to recall that this was actually not his comment. That he said, "periodically, when she's down...." and he meant "down in the polls". I shall run off and try to find evidence of this as context. I could be wrong, though!
java, did you mean to post that in here? (GWW)
