You can if you get permission. Which they might well grant.

So my wife asked me to print out my novelette for her dad and he liked the story though I was greatly amused he referred to the character I think of as "the asshole" as "the ding dong". Anyhow, her mother--who never reads SciFi--picked it up out of curiosity planning to look at the first couple of paragraphs but ended up reading the entire thing and like it too. I have to admit that felt pretty good.

Typo Boy, insent regarding your BeepMe post.

Received Sparky. Thanks.

Hello writey buffistas! Damn, I've missed hanging out here.

So I popped in looking to drabble a bit...and the last prompt was in January? Ack.

I know, I've been scarce since 200something, and I'm all show uppy and demanding. It's just, I'm almost embarrassed by how little creative writing I've done the whole year. (Scratch the almost.) I need some vicarious success from my buffistas. So how have you all been?

I'm still working on my novel. I got distracted by doing a second short story for a website challenge, but I've still managed a bit of revising.

I've got several things I'm working on, although not too well at present, and I have a big publication coming up shortly.

This is my new short story (near future SciFi), and I'm thinking about maybe trying to do something with it. The topic for the challenge was leaving off with a choice.

If anyone happens to be curious or needs to kill a little time. About 7,000 words. It hasn't been completely polished up yet.

Gud, that's a real nice piece of writing! Thanks for sharing. Let me know if you're looking for comments, and I'll be happy to send.

Thanks. Comments would be great if it's not too much trouble. This is the first thing I might give a go at submitting and I need to polish it up.
