That’s why it was hard to know for sure.  Because she kept dropping her pencil and then bending over to pick it up, and I wondered whether she had butterfingers or if she was trying to entice me.  She didn’t seem like the sort.  A really honest smile when she’d look at me.  No duplicitousness there.  Not like me thinking that maybe she was, darkly

[bryanscott]

Thank you.

Love love love the last two lines, great finish:)

[bryanscott]

Thanks.

But I just feel this burning desire to write something infinitely more serious.

[suki_fleet]

You have an angle, an idea?
How serious is "infinitely more serious"?

[bryanscott]

Larger in a size and scope. And in order for it to be those things it would have to be a pretty damn fine idea . . .

I feel like I have to desire to prove to myself that I can write a book.

Hi Bryan

Is this a stream of consciousness style you are going for? I have to ask - what is a WORLDNYMPH?

Re: Hi Bryan

[bryanscott]

A worldnymph is an entity or spirit attendant to the planet on which it wanders, enacting the will of the planet, putting rocks on the beaches, clouds in the sky, answers in riddles, that sort of thing.

where have you gone, kid?

[bryanscott]

I'm still vaguely around. My life has taken a turn for the wurst ever since I started working in the sausage factory. HO HO!!

Seriously, now. I'm near at hand, gathering my power. When I'm ready I'll crack the shell of the Earth and emerge a spacedragon with butterfly wings.

You can take it, but I should warn you that it's cursed. Whoever tells it is immediately encased unremovable lederhosen.
