The Skeksis rock. Welcome in!

Welcome in, Aubree!

My sweetie today thanked me for "selling my precious bodily fluids" (I donate plasma 2x a week, most weeks). Of course now I have various rants from "Doctor Strangelove" going through my head!

1. Best (professionally published) short story you've ever read? Tie between "The Cask of Amontillado" and "A Perfect Day for Bananafish." 2. Best (professionally published) novel you've ever read? My tastes change from year to year...right now, going to go with The Lies of Locke Lamora by...

:news: HERE IS a SURVEY FLASH! I have been buried in fiction for a few weeks now (mostly my own, but also studying and learning from others'). So, a fiction-themed survey: 1. Best (professionally published) short story you've ever read? 2. Best (professionally published) novel you've ever...

Hooray! I hope you take things slow, and remember to always communicate openly and honestly with each other.

I'm the house editor for Graythorn Publishing. If she's serious about publishing something, please ask her to look us up. We're still in open submissions for full-length works, most genres.

Woot! Although it's only two and a half hours from us, and we have three friends who live there (including my sweetie's best friend), I haven't visited Chicago yet. I want to visit the museums, the aquarium, and eat at the Brazilian steakhouse. DC is cool if you hit it before the crowds do. See...

I couldn't ever do speed dating. Just meeting someone in person is intimidating for me (serious introvert). If things go sideways again, you may want to consider online dating...it has the advantage of allowing for reams of written exchanges before anyone even has to call or meet. I was able to...

Hope that's helpful. I've heard the ailment is exceedingly painful.

Three day weekend. Tomorrow I will write, Saturday gardening, and family in town Sunday. Should all be fun.

I'm assuming the date didn't offer a good excuse, an apology, and an immediate rescheduling? If I may pry, how much had you two talked prior to setting up the date?

Hey, already knowing him as a friend could be a good start! Presumably he likes & respects you?

At work today, an exceptionally rude sales rep first called & yelled at me and refused to let me explain the terribly simple solution to his problem, hung up on me...then called back twice and hung up immediately when I answered the phone...then finally realized he was going to have to deal with...

Owww. Sorry, Snowth. Have you tried turmeric or any other supplements?

I pinged him on Faceplant. Sounded like he had a fun weekend planned. We chat now & then; he's doing better.

HAPPY ONCE A YEAR DAY to WLF! May the year ahead bring wonderful new experiences and more love & laughter to you.

We watched Ernest and Celestine last night. Sweet, charming, and with more worldbuilding than I'd expected. The epic chase from the bear and rat police is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long while, animated or not.

CONGRATS! Hope the wedding was far out, fer shure! :flirt:

My little brother did the same thing when he was learning to drive. He, I, and our stepmom decided to go out late one summer night to get ice cream. My brother backed the car out of the driveway; I saw the neighbor's Jaguar parked right behind him and warned him twice to STOP...but he didn't...
