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.

“Not dead yet!”

Backflung, Barb.

Heh-- got it.

Yes, there will be hot angsty sex. And she's young, poor thing. When we next pick up with our intrepid heroine, she's three years older and wiser. *g*

“Not dead yet!”

I just sent you the rest of what I've got for the proposal-- still in rough draft stage, but you can at least get the idea where I'm going with this.

“Not dead yet!”

Gah--

I need someone to rescue me from my own head-- I've hit the "OMG, this manuscript totally sucks" portion of the process.

Bleah.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Zinny finds the hallucinations are persisting.

I dislike this sentence. I'm trying to say why. What is this structure called? Why do I dislike it so? There are words in my brain, but they won't come out!

“Not dead yet!”

Deena, what's a little more context? I mean, beyond the sentence being an awkward read.
