And if you are like me, these kind of ending justseem to fall out of your head, without having really planned them. I like it when that happens.<br />Great story Soub, great finish!bulletholeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681107556161747976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555664269648250473.post-58860125260917688912012-07-22T20:31:45.939-05:002012-07-22T20:31:45.939-05:00I retract 'slay' lest I be lumped in with ...I retract 'slay' lest I be lumped in with flesh-carving commentators.

I like -glimpses, glimpses of people's lives, their realities. I like to read, to see the world through other eyes, different perspectives.<br /><br />Starbucks, is better at coffee than erotic moments. The concept is good, but the relentless global branding makes every one strangely soul-less.soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555664269648250473.post-83898648446570871452012-07-22T14:11:23.940-05:002012-07-22T14:11:23.940-05:00Thank you for the encouragement, Anonymous, I susp...Thank you for the encouragement, Anonymous, I suspect I'll never get it together, because I'm so easily distracted. And I read so much, good books, bad books, indifferent books. It seems presumptuous to attempt to add to all the books already out there. <br /><br />Whereas, the blog? most of the time it's not writing, just making a noise.soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555664269648250473.post-64300713632798589192012-07-21T22:55:17.174-05:002012-07-21T22:55:17.174-05:00ps.

You are sharing a small slice of the inner you, your thoughts, your feelings. I've always known you to be a keen observer of life and the world around you. This is .... empathetic in its understanding of mothers and children. It is exactly why I turn to you when I feel so lost mothering my own brood. A book of these vignettes I would buy and cherish.<br /><br />Now .... I'm off to Starbucks hoping for an erotic moment ...<br /><br />xxxred dirt girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12939283533222061484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555664269648250473.post-35007487700414456782012-07-21T14:15:09.623-05:002012-07-21T14:15:09.623-05:00What drove me to read your blog today I cannot say...What drove me to read your blog today I cannot say. Why I continued when I felt the flesh being carved from my bones I am equally clueless. I only know that when you are penning your own creation you have me at your feet. I could read you on and on. <br /><br />When I began reading Max's blog I recall he posted something about colored trains and my responding demanding a word problem. You came behind me with the most charming bit of flash fiction. I was hooked.<br /><br />Write your book! Move mountains if you must but write and write and write. Don't stop; don't look back.
