How about George Sand or Mary Shelly? I always feel that there's much more I could have written.

I swear that I treat the rest of the sex workers in the story with proper respect. And she doesn't die because she's a sex worker. She dies because of who she is. I know - she ends up dead anyway - but I think the distinction is important.Kathleen Bradeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347913255760493335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-80199921944909556122011-07-26T12:14:07.307-04:002011-07-26T12:14:07.307-04:00Kathleen, you've accomplished a lot in the las...Kathleen, you've accomplished a lot in the last few years and more impressively, you've developed what they call a Voice. Now you've piqued our curiosity. I want to read the story (novel?) about the woman who wakes up next to the dead hooker. (Why does the hooker always have to die?

Short stories are great becasue your idea can be much narrower, but for a nveo, as you well know, it has to be something that keeps the writer interested for as long as it takes to write the damn thing.Kathleen Bradeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347913255760493335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-79643005805361372572011-07-26T03:39:29.102-04:002011-07-26T03:39:29.102-04:00"Don't you hate it when other story ideas..."Don't you hate it when other story ideas leap out at you like a cheap 3-D effect when you're trying to write something else?"<br /><br />I wish they would. <br /><br />Since I knew you before you published any of this stuff (mostly), I'm personally very impressed.
