I hope you get some great feedback.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

“Not dead yet!”
I was bummed on Friday when the RITA calls were going out that my phone remained conspicuously silent. I consoled myself with the fact that it's really just a massive crapshoot and even though the peer acclaim is really, really nice, in the grander scheme, it's just not that big a deal. The award simply doesn't carry a whole lot of recognition or weight outside of the immediate romance community.
And then the more I thought of it, the more I realized how I'm drifting further and further away from romance in terms of what I write. It's a sad and scary and exciting and nerve-wracking all rolled together.

Your friend M. built a robot army. You made a Kleener, with vacuum attachment, duster-arm, and cooking unit. You drew a picture of it standing next to M.s' robot army. "Great idea to draw his robots small enough that you could fit it all on the same page," I said.
You smiled. "Mine is 50 times bigger, so I can vacuum his up and win. Then we can eat."

“Not dead yet!”
Gak-
I'm stuck.
I was cruising along pretty nicely on Dorian and I came to the end of a scene and now I have no idea what the next scene should be. I still have one major POV character who should be introduced, but I'm not quite sure this is where he should be intro'd yet.
Gak.

Sox, your drabble is wildly surreal.

move out and draw fire
Yeah, I'm doing Script Frenzy. Why? Because I'm just starting a new job with tons of responsibility and I'm in counseling. So why the hell not?
Here's my draft logline for the movie Lady Radium. Let me know what you think.
Lovestruck nuclear physicists whose superpowered alter egos are mortal enemies must work together to stop ex-Nazi Objectivists in this atomic age romance.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
General creative advice. I think it's pretty interesting. And liberating.

Because books.
That's a really good piece, ita. Thanks. The "nothing is new" alone is so worth remembering.

It's a great logline. And it sounds like it could be a lot of fun.

Amen.
And Raq, the logline also falls under surreal- in a fun, twisty sort of way.
