Lisa: Glad you found it sticky.

Donna: Duotrope is a life-saver in that regard -- markets you can search by genre, payscale, and word count. You should definitely give W1S1 a try.

That was totally bizzare Milo. I stared at the picture for several moments too, getting a feel for the place.

But vivid certainly describes the piece. My stomach growled too every time he looked at her, licked his lips.

You did well building the tension and the characters. The gestures, the signing, even the rolled eyes (which I don't normally approve of) were all

Hmmm, cheese eyes - well, that is bizarre, but certainly a line that will stick with me :-))

But is it Velveeta? Or is it cheddar?

I remember that Jennifer's cheese eyes line! Maybe it's because it's my name? HAHA, awesome.

Wow!

Madeleine: Thanks for the kind words!

Martin: I've still got four weeks, so don't count me out yet. =]

Katey: Make sure they're extra-cheesy.

Marty: Thanks for stopping by! It's been a while. I'll need to check in and see if you've posted any new aphorisms...

Milo, I've been on a long summer vacation, and not making the rounds as much as I used to. But I'm happy to see that you're going stronger than ever, and happy to hear of all your successes. I've always admired your endless energy and tenacity.

That was incredibly weird, vivid, and wonderful. Post Cold War crawling and... I feel a little sick for wanting some nachos, now.

You have proved Bradbury correct. You can't write 52 duff stories. Congratulations on the continued success

Great, David! I highly recommend it; I mean, who's to argue with Bradbury, right?

Heh, I'm definitely going to officially do Write1Sub1 all the way through in 2012. I think it's great!

I got distracted by Business & Books, but now I'm back in action on the short story front.

Jennifer: Only 14 of them have been accepted so far, but I'm not giving up on the other 34!

You're 48 for 48?

Okay, total honesty here - I thought when you set out to do Write1Sub1 that there was no way you (or anyone, for that matter) could hang in all the way. It's mind-boggling to me! But you have, and that is insanely awesome.

You are a writing machine!

And the eyes like cheese simile is pretty awesome!

Stephanie: Thank you! And the captain thanks you as well.

Jeff: Honestly? Me too.

Simon: It's been a good year for us W1S1ers, hasn't it? I'm sure more will join the throng.

Tony: I'll do my best. Looking forward to reading your story collection!

Cool cool cool! I can always expect to find a new story to read and great news on the horizon when I surf over. Keep it up, my man! :-)

2011-12-05T00:51:49.931-08:00

Intriguing news, Milo! And congrats on that story and all your W1S1 successes.

Congrats, Milo. That story still creeps me out.

2011-12-04T18:01:04.759-08:00

Michael: I guess imagination is one word for it; I originally wrote this story for The Pedestal's bizarro issue, so as weird as possible (with a plot) was my goal.

Patsy: Weekly is definitely doable; I staggered short stories and novelettes with flash fiction and survived fairly well.

Deborah: I'm stoked, mos def; and you'd better believe I'm going to

Wow. A publisher/editor's interest. That is big new.

Congratulations on your three straight run at LI. That's got to be a record. They are a great venue, and really nice folks.
