We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yeah, the sentence you mentioned was giving me fits, and ITA agree about the first section of the essay. I love the latter half -- that's where is gels, I think -- but the beginning is where I started noodling and ended up with my metaphor going where I wanted it.

Fabulous. I thought I needed to re-work the beginning. I'm gonna let it sit for a bit, and toy with it -- I have to learn how to write a query letter first, anyway! And my brane is ded today, anyway.

Thanks for the feedback!

This was definitely a surprise to see in my editor's tweets. Yikes!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Awesome!

Aw, thank you. I think I look sort of pinched and wan there, but it's better than most pictures of me!

The earrings were H&M a couple years back, and I LOVE them. I have a matching necklace!
