ouch.  i think i’ve been that woman, actually.  and yes, it is excruciating.

I think I have spent a lot of time trying not to be this woman. The idea alone is mortifying. Tell me more!

I love “snippets” sometimes better than whole stories. I have one similar about a guy crying into his eggs at a Denny’s in Barstow. I’ve never felt the need to add a beginning or an end.

Areca, there is no more.  this whole thing just sort of occurred to me without a lead-in or a lead-out.  I’m hoping it stimulates me to do more fiction, and maybe even something with a beginning, middle and end!

in the meantime, Sawni, I’d love to read about mr. barstow. that’s a town that lends itself to diner food and crying, for sure.

Yeah, he’s baaaaack!

I can think of a few times when I have felt like that and more than a few where I have been with someone in that position. (usually because of me)

ya know, i was just thinking on this (concerning you and pea and a handful of others) tonight...and i have an idea i’m almost afraid to mention....see, i’ve already said too much.

ahhhhhhh...I too love these short scenarios.  I feel I’m something a writing sprinter myself so I often tend to write in short bit and pieces...I like it.

what is Jules up to...I wonder…

ow.
