I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

And in a separate post: gnnng, I fail at FinishTheDamnNovel Month. Houseguests, then four days of birthday hijinks, job hunting, and other chaos means I'm only about halfway done. But! I am trying very hard not to beat myself up about this, and am concentrating on getting the first half polished and ready to go, so I can at least send THAT (and the new version of the proposal) to my agent in early December.

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

How many pages did you get, Jilli? More than 20? Then fuck it: you did fine.

Ain't no arterial blood, ain't no house on fire, ain't no lurching zombies less than 5 feet away from you, and you with no weapon. It was a goal. You didn't hit it. Are you giving up?

NO? Well, then. Win!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm looking for a beta for a 4000 word essay that feels sort of wooden and disconnected to me. I think I just sound like a smug asshole, which is usually fine, but then I kind of want the reader to be on my side, so :/

If anyone's available and feels like a few lines of feedback, that would be great! Email is Allyson dot Beatrice at gmail.
