Still, kind of a bold move with someone you just met.(I suppose I did that with Herself and some Buffy fic once...I had an idea that I was psyched about and she said "Yeah, cool," and I took that to mean "I'd love to read more--RIGHT NOW.Luckily for her, I write slowly so she was able to say "Nice start, but people usually *ask*) But I sort of knew her. I think it's weird, for all the articles about how isolating the internet is, all of us typing in our lonely, ticky-tacky boxes, the thing I've noticed is that the sense of public and private is getting a little skewed...maybe cause it takes just a few clicks to call someone a Friend.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

Because books.
For Nigel Tufnel Day (i.e. 11/11/11), the challenge is to write eleven-word stories and post them to Twitter with the hashtag #11words.
It's a little easier than Hemingway's six-word ones, anyway.

not your mom's socks.
I'm feeling lucky I can still count to 11 after night #2 of Croup + fever. WTH - I thought croup was over when she could read or something. (I know this doesn't make sense. My brain is on slush mode).

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Eleven words is hard:
If the bloodstains come out, I can sell the wedding dress.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
And it turned out that the drunken monkey had been correct.

You have to tell a whole story, though. And you have to tweet it! Well, you don't have to, but it's fun.

It's the whole story that's so hard.

Done! I think.
She carried his letter always; a reminder that love transcends death.

"You killed them?" the mobster scoffed, not seeing the gun I hid.
