Always Anti-fascist!
Social workers aren't really worth the trouble, ime. I almost wish I could create so many great characters at once, but you know, *they* probably have friends in other places, too. It's kind of insulting, but then, all people who aren't online know are the stories with lies at the end. But it's awfully hard to be honest with people who remain solidly convinced I talk to myself for hours a day(They kind of think that about writing, too, though.)

My first choice agent and first agent I queried just gave me my first reply. They want to see 30 pages. The odds are still low, but that gives me a good feeling that my query letter is effective.

Erin, I know it's late feedback, but
Would we look at collections of letters written by people in the past (you know, before computers?!) and say that because these people wrote dozens and dozens of letters a month to family member and friends that they were insulating themselves from personal connections to real people?
Well, yeah, that is what people say about H.P. Lovecraft and Emily Dickenson and probably others.
Otherwise it's lovely...it captures a lot about why I sometimes refer to b.org as "my church."

Erin, that's a great essay.
And congratulations, Gud!
Amy, my boss is in Guam for the week: I should be able to write 100 words about fruit.

Because books.
Good news, Gud!
Guam, Consuela! Wow. That's never an expected destination, is it?
"Cherry" came to me because it was Washington's birthday, but remember, cherry can mean a lot more than fruit.
Also, if anyone thinks the prompts suck, or simply has ideas for some, just shout.
