I loved the inner voice chanting in the first one - so very Blair and now I must 'see' the stained glass window! Good job!

thanks so much for the feedback. I try very hard to capture voices and it thrills me when someone thinks that I succeeded.

the stained glass one is actually threatening to become a fic...here's hoping the muses keep it up. I wish I could draw the pictures in my head. The window is gorgeous.

threatening you, huh? I hope it continues to grow into a full blown fic. I always liked Br. Marcus and his band of Merry Monks.

*grins* So do I. yeah, I think it's safe to say that it'll go on my "to write" list since it's already starting to form full thoughts in my way too busy brain.

Both very nice.Great work.

Thank you so much. It's always nice to get something written and put out there and even nicer when folks like it.

It takes a lot of talent to paint a picture so clearly in just 100 words. I wish I could do it!

These were both just lovely.

Awww, thanks sweetie. I really appreciate that. I admit, I struggle sometimes to do these, especially when it has to be exactly 100 but there's incredible satisfaction that comes from it as well. I normally end up at about 130 and then pare down words til I'm there.

You should try it sometime. You might just be surprised.

Both of these are lovely! I wanted to hug poor Blair in the first one--with just 100 words you drew so well how *tired* he is and how over-stretched. Nice!

And I'm with slipperieslope, I want to see the stained glass window, so I hope that does turn into a full fledged fic. :)

erin_riwen August 2 2006, 20:37:42 UTC

*grins* I wanna hug him too. That last scene, where he rubs his eyes was just so clear in my head. His feelings of too much to do and too little time - that's been me lately too, so getting into his head wasn't hard.

I think you'll see the fic eventually. It's already picking at the edges of my brain.

Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
