thanks for your kind note on my six. btw, your piece on the big stage yesterday was great - i have a noir piece (short) awaiting publication at another site..so i can't post here but if you absolutely beg me and promise not to share i'll email it to you -your piece reminds me so much of this one...
VERY nice. A woman after I my own heart: take a truth, push it to the extreme, mix in some humor, and end with a bang. Love it. Memorable line: "...one more drink and I may become a super model." MORE, I beg!
Yeah, I love it. It is challenging and a blast, and that combination keeps me coming back for more. Your "He Still Had It-But Where Did It Go?" is one of my favorite Sixes that I have read so far. HILARIOUS because it is so true.
Actually, I live in the p&j forests of central/northern Arizona, but my first book is about the windswept prairie of the Texas panhandle. I just love the land.
Kathleen ... thanks for the note on my page and in my Inbox. It seems that several of us are up to our necks in real life right now ... a necessary inconvenience ... sigh Miss you!
I'm sorry to hear about funeral. Always sad occasions. It sure is nice to visit with family though. :) I've been well. I've had this huge surge of story ideas lately with not enough time to write! Also, I have carpel tunnel, and it's been acting up pretty bad. Not good for a writer.
Thank you for asking. I'll be looking for some of your witchy 6s in the future. :)
Well, funny you should mention that. I have something in the works with Paul. Hmm, I'm not sure what you need to know so if I don't tell you get back to me, ok.
I get these random ideas and I asked "hey, want to write something?" Then, don't know why, I say you find a picture, k? Then I giggle.
Paul found his picture and I found my own but we have a same theme. And you know Ant. is just the picture king anyway so that was pure pleasure.
Then we share what we've written with one another and trade ideas and try to have a co-ordinating title and synchronize the drop time. Did I cover it?

I like it more then before.... here is your line swift slice, cut into her flesh maybe instead use careless slice, cut into her flesh this erases the suicide overtones and lets the reader start breathing... hope I'm not offering too much advice here... it is a nice piece...
Kathleen.... some blood might have held the tension longer and the relief at the end would be more pronounced once your readers saw she was making a salad and only accidentally cut herself... you set it up for blood,, delivering a little would not change the story only the tension

How are you?
I haven't seen you on in a few days, of course, I haven't been on the last couple days myself.
Hope all is well. :)
Did you or Paul find the pic? I can see why it inspired you both to write!
