ReplyDeleteJust keeps getting better. And that fact that you tie these all in to other challenges/prompts makes me cranky because you do it so well. I'm just hatin' because I'm jealous though... really I think it's awesome!

ReplyDeleteMan this is some good stuff! You are nailing this fiction shizzle.
ReplyDeleteHmm.... Very interesting! I wonder what 'we' need to talk about.
