Your stuff, I mean it really gets me. You'll have a thing going, then drop a word or surprise in there ... it's very intense. So impacting for me. I can't read 'em all.

I mean, I've read a LOT of stuff, so: Hats off to you; really good!

Taran asked Luke as they approached the seafood restaurant, "What's wrong with anglerfish?"

"Teeth."

She thought a moment. "Oh. Well? I know a place where we can have some cuddlefish...?"

Luke joked that the restrooms were pretty cramped; Taran called him a nasty boy.

As they walked across Key Bridge from Rosslyn into Georgetown, Taran asked Luke, "If I fell off into the Potomac below, would you come to my #defense?"

It was that damned Exorcist house in the distance. Things got screwy the nearer you got to it & those infamous steps.

I've read hardly two novels since again "becoming" a writer.

Don't novelists/playwrights eat, drink, and sleep their current creations?

"This do in remembrance of me" is what the altar said with a stale solemnity that had nowhere to escape; and much less so myself from the little Sunday school audience & in my well-worn dress jacket and tie mommy fixed me up in.
#remembrance
You always also wondered if you had (gulp!) forgotten

Some are calling the 'Devotion' episodes (rerun, "remastered") expert level and praising their pacing.
Others find a strange, beneficent comfort in the world that's been created.
I am so thankful for the few. It is a lifeline for me.

"Something came. You say not an albatross, what is it, a #wraith?" Taran stirred cream.
"Maybe how you do at Halloween, w/ a few slits on a carrot for a face and hanging it like a wreath to wither & gnarl."
"It's the weird, Lukey: keeps some away, brings others our way."
