I'm so sorry that this happened. :(

estelle November 7 2010, 02:42:27 UTC

Psst, look at the tags.
But I'm flattered that it sounded believable to you.

antianhedonia November 7 2010, 03:05:14 UTC

Oh, whew! I need to make a note to read tags from now on, then!

kehlen November 8 2010, 13:36:57 UTC

Oh, it did indeed. :-) Before I saw the tags.

*reads tags!*

Short, but well written, even though I wish there was more!

estelle November 7 2010, 14:20:04 UTC

I could say that was the motivation all along, keep people wanting more. :P

Thanks for the criticism. I'll keep it in mind if there is a next round.

could be the beginning of a whole story, counldn´t it?! what will the narrator do afterards? what has she done before? little episodes about the cafe and the guests... i want more! :0)

ju_the_true November 7 2010, 10:59:49 UTC

ach so und: ich plus englische grammatik (means: zeiten)= fail!

estelle November 7 2010, 14:27:05 UTC

Absolutely. It could be a nanowrimo. Only that seems a bit daunting seeing that I have never owned a café (or any business at that). Hmm.

Did you ever try nanowrimo? I signed up this year but I'm already trailing behind massively. And changed my plot twice. Great.

Of course I want it to be good, which means I don't even get off the ground. So I understand that I should just write and not care. Nobody will ever read it anyways.
But do you really want to write 50 000 words worth of crap?

i_id November 9 2010, 09:06:03 UTC

I'm doing it. My post was an excerpt from mine.... but I'm already 20,000 words in and haven't reached my actual plot yet.

Well done! I want to read more! :)

estelle November 8 2010, 21:14:12 UTC

Thank you! Hope I get to write more too, haha :D

There is a lot of this going on these days! I'm self employed and now working out of my house, so I've pretty much been there.

estelle November 8 2010, 21:34:53 UTC

Yes, there is. I'm sorry it happened to you. Does business go better now that you don't have to pay rent?

lawchicky November 8 2010, 23:53:56 UTC

I wish I could say yes, but the economy hasn't improved since I gave up the space, so it's only been a minor help.

estelle November 9 2010, 21:06:16 UTC

Bugger :(
