Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good job, man. Way to do the thing.

Congratulations, P-C!

I don't know if I have the creativity in me to write a novel. Writing novel-length fanfic is doable, but then I have the characters already fleshed out as a shortcut. Plot is easy, then.

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

Congratulations, P-C!

Any of us women over 40 have a screenplay ready to submit? [link]

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Not yet. As disappointing as it was to get a rejection in my inbox this morning, I guess it's fair enough. I felt like I sent them flash fiction that they asked for, but looking at it after a few months, it seems that I sent them an *idea* instead. Sigh.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I still like the idea, but maybe fleshing out two women's motivations in under 1,000 words is truly a tall order or at least, I haven't mastered it.

Short fiction is tough. At least it is for me.

I wish I could work on some writing, but it just isn't in the cards right now.

I like short fiction, but that's because I'm lazy and put off writing anything substantial.

I miss the prompts and drabbles we used to do here.

We tried them again and no one came.
