I'm soooo happy that you're working on 'Rose Rising' again! I didn't critique because I see nothing to pick apart. Enjoyment is a pleasant blindness. Keep it up though, I'm liking it so far.
I think the bias is toward 'Underwear'.

We live in a sick, cheap and tawdry world.

Thank God!
Hi, I'm kind of new to the weekend prompt circle. Can you tell me what to do?
i know where my cousin is, and she's not you. lol. no, we're from Northern Utah.
NOW who has the awesome avie?

Heh.
Hey Laurie,
Haven't really got that circle going yet, but your welcome to join in. Give me a kick in the pants when ever you think it's appropriate. It's good to be back.

Thanks! It's from a photography collection by Kat von D, the tattoo artist. She just looks like she has a story that's begging to be told...

...so I'm writing her one.
Hi Laurie, thank you for your kind words. Yes, the story 'A Boy Called History' I have submitted for publication to a magazine. I have a list of people I intend to brag to if it gets published there. Just added you to it
hey thanks for the welcome
Thanks for the kind words on my review of Grasshopper. I'm on unplanned and indefinite hiatus right now, but I'd love to get another read after you revise. Give me a message when it's up.

About Laurie

Occupation: Oh, jeez. I've been around. Right now, I'm working part time at a retro 50's lunch counter and will either be starting the bachelor of arts program in creative writing at the University of Arizona in the fall, or working for the sheriff's dept as a transcr
About Me: Hmm. I'm a mystery with puppy dog eyes, a harbinger of twinkies and leaver of dirty socks on the sofa. And I write stuff sometimes.
Interests: Geeky stuff, but not the kind that requires thinking.
Astrophysics? Nope.
Video games? Oh, yeah.
I also have dogs (2) and a cat, and my husband and I treat them like they're our kids, if our kids ate off the floor and pooped in the yard.

Favorite TV Shows: Top Chef, Glee, SYTYCD, cheesy Sci Fi Channel/Chiller TV movies, anything Joss Whedon, Wonderfalls, House, old Warner Brothers cartoons.
Favorite Quotes: "We live in a culture that discourages empathy. A culture that too often tells us our principle goal in life is to be rich, thin, young, famous, safe, and entertained."
--Barack Obama, speech, Jul. 12, 2006

"Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy."
--Wendell Berry

“I don't know which is more discouraging, literature or chickens.”
--E. B. White

Loves: I love family (made and found), dark films, all kinds of books and music (still haven't figured out the appeal of Tejano or polka, tho--maybe it's the accordion), warm clothes from the dryer, compassion, surprises, public adoration and chocolate-pecan pie a la mode.
Hates: Closed-minded thinking, petty character judgments, excessive greed/selfishness, idiotic cell phone usage, incivility and black licorice. Ew. Sadly, I'm guilty of most of these from time to time.
