I haven't been participating or commenting, but the prompts are great and I'm glad to see everyone writing!
The Great Write Way, Act Three: Where's the gun?
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Cherry:
It’s never as simple as a kiss.
But the little men who lead the way assure me it is the answer. “One kiss,” they promise, “please.”
Every word is an enticement. “Lips like a cherry,” they tell me. “Hair glossy as a raven’s wing.”
They aren’t wrong. The cold glass casket holds such beauty, it takes my breath away.
I wonder what those lifeless lips will taste like. I wonder if I will be able to breathe new life into them.
They open the casket for me. I gather my trailing skirts and step forward to kiss the sleeping prince.
Nice.
Well, I've got two queries and one partial out there. Now I guess I just wait. I think I'll prepare 2-3 more queries so I've got some in the hopper. Yep, just wait...
Thanks, Gud.
Yeah, just keep working and getting stuff ready to send. It makes the time go ... well, not faster, but it does take up some of it.
I am writing a short article for publication of conferences proceedings from a conference on experiential learning. It's about 3 pages double spaced. Could I get someone to take a quick look at it before I send it out later tonight?
Many thanks!
I could look, Burrell.
Just sent an article proposal to Rookie magazine-- their next theme is 'obsession' and I though How Buffy Summers Got Me Through Adolescence would make a fun essay. We'll see if I get a reply.
Thanks Amy! I'll send it straight away.
Nice, Holli! Good luck.
Got it, Burrell. About to read.
Very cool, Holli! Good luck.
Good luck to all you submitters - I probably think it more than I type it...
