This one is actually kind of good. One person on my list will especially appreciate it. Who? You'll have to read it and see if it is you :)

Whoo hoo! Ok. You have done it. You have stepped right over that line to the land of "I will be the one they come to hear reading at the next convention!" That was amazing. I'm WIDE awake now.

BRAVO!

You're such a beautiful liar. But thanks :)

Nooo- that one is GREAT! Like I said, it goes past the "I'm trying to write" to "I'm writing". I loved the shock of "What the he..." when I realized she wasn't alone, then I loved the the spiral of the story. Plus, you've gotten that fine distinction of using just enough description to impart the feel without belaboring.

Not what I usually choose for morning, but I'm sure glad it was there today. :)

In all seriousness, thanks for even reading. I'm pretty sure you are the only one who does.

There is always a pull between image and story. Finding the balance is key. The hope is that after one story a week for a year, I will come out the other side with the knowledge.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
