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.

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

I actually just finished writing a chapter! I decided to put everything else aside tonight and treat myself to a little writing.

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, you should do that more often!

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

I committed writing, on the death of a colleague who was not all one thing: [link]

It still feels pretty incoherent in my head. I hope it's less so on the screen/page.

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

Seems clear to me, Karl. And truly compassionate.

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

Very clear. And more compassion than he extended, it seems.

It looks like the narrator for my audiobook might be able to start recording again after having to take a year break for medical issues. It might actually happen at some point.

Need some thoughts about how to give a sense of time passing in a short story where you have limited pages to work with. Because I paid "Masters' Review" for extra feedback(So far, I think the notes are helpful, in that this editor does seem to get what I'm after with the story, but he did say "This wouldn't happen in one afternoon."
