That is awesome, Typo. I don't know if that would work better as a ballad or a country song.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Dumb question, but might be pivotal to the right(or wrong) reader. It's 1992 in my story and my characters have ordered a pizza...how much do they pay? Because the last thing I want is to go by my memory and have some reading along all "Sure, if they get it from Italy!" I was alive, of course, just not very practiced at paying for things yet.(Which is sort of the point of this story, actually.) It's not a huge part of the story, or anything, just that the pizza guy kind of touched of a family argument and wants to bail.

I think it was usually about $10?

I mostly have the memory that when we would split a pizza in the late 90s $1/slice was a reasonable expectation. So $12 ish?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I remember Mom would leave us $20 in high school during that time period, and we'd be able to get an extra large pizza with a few toppings and give the delivery person a few bucks tip and have change. So, maybe $12 for the pizza with a $3 tip.

Ok, thanks. It's weird the things you miss being a late bloomer your whole life.

Do you always know whose POV you're going to tell a story from? Because I thought I did, and then, I tried alternating, but maybe for a short story, one clear voice is better...how should I decide?

Will you have room in a short story to tell enough to justify two POVs (or more)? If it works, it works.

That is a thought--I could do the rewrite with the idea of keeping both viewpoints...maybe there's another reason the story doesn't work.
