Nope, nope, you spelled it right.

You may possibly see more of the writing. I am on a sort-of quest to reclaim my muse!

score. i should do that too, i've sort of fallen out of it all. which is funny since i'm a creative writing major and that's, you know, what we HAVE to do.

just lacking inspiration. glad to see you're trying to find yours.

Oh gaaah. I love way Maria narrates it, and the little moments like this:

swimming after him like the world was a strange aquatic pastoral scene ... spliced figments of your imagination, rendered ethereal by dreams and the glitter on the surface of the water.

The dialogue feels so natural and not forced at all. I haven't written a review in forever, so forgive me, but I liked this a lot. It feels... real, you know? :)

They were climbing back down off the roof onto the balcony when Frankie said, "I thought you loved him."

"Who?" said Maria.

"Doug."

"I do."

"Oh," he said, nodding with comical sagacity. "I see." Then, "'Cos... Good, 'cos I don't, like, then I don't think you should fall in love with me. Or--"

"What?"

"Or whatever." He shook his head, as if confused by what he just said. "I dunno. Whatever." Then, "Let's raid the groceries."

^^^That's my favourite part of that (splendid) piece of writing. I write too; you can catch Chapter 16 of my current novel-in-progress on my LJ Diary (very recent); sorry, I don't know how to post links in replies. I could fiddle about with it and such, but I'm lazy right now.
