He hates the Irish, cockneys, and all non-English-gentlemen. And he has little use for women.

I read those comments and can't believe DA would think everything you say about yourself is real. He hates blacks, calls them "it" not "he" or "she." Or presents his character that way. Did you know there are two of him?

When she’s upset it’s tears, blubbering, and a thirty-minute monolog. When he’s upset, he says, “What the hell were you thinking?” Who was the most upset? That’s what I want to write about.

Why is it when our eyes ask, "will we always be like this," his answer sounds like some gull, crying for the leaving tide? Either that, or we hear it in "I'll always love you."

And old tear-jerker told well. The last line is not needed, but the rest is - love, that is - needed.

When you say "they" I suppose you mean Frasier Allonby's creations. No, I was not referring to "them," but to someone worth the effort.

Careful, or some fiction like "Dovlna" will post some appalingly unclever rant about gay alchemists. Actually, my character exists.

I mean you are not the protagonist, because your religion is based of firmer ground.

Thanks for the kudos, but I have no power to get drunk on. Shiraz, however, is always with me.
Re: Mentally Disabled by drnick	15-Feb-06/9:49 PM
Sounds like a lyrical hodgepodge of uncertainty and frustration. Am I missing some theme?
Re: a comment on A young Man’s Demise by Dovina	15-Feb-06/9:42 PM
Well, it definitely isn't you. May your suspicions lead to thorough investigation.

If I had not missed death, I would not have written this, and would not be afraid. "I had not missed death" is evaluable by true or false. I chose true. Would you say that such statements are symbols in reality,or are they trifles about words?

Story: Marry, work, birth, work, birth, retire, throw a party.

Oh, but he does.

We often get proponents of religion spouting off about some evil they want to cure, but yours is made of stronger stuff.
Re: a comment on Lost In Her Effervescence by ALChemy	15-Feb-06/7:57 AM
We oversimplify men's feelings too often. Seldom does one give us the inside story. I want to write about it soon.
Re: Lost In Her Effervescence by ALChemy	14-Feb-06/4:53 PM
I struggle to relate any lovemaking I've known to cold or boiling. Soft - yes. Swarming buggles - maybe. Fingers running and dancing, fumbling - yes. But a kiss as a gasp for air - well, can't relate. A chill that burns - yes, right on. But frigid despair - that's a let-down. The next part eludes me. But blissful abyss is okay. And only to die as the suds die - yes. And I don't like the last two lines. Just an opinion.
Re: a comment on Happy 40th Anniversary by Dovina	14-Feb-06/4:41 PM
Yes, I think those are good conmments, worthy of consideration in a rewrite. So unlike your comment on my prior one which seemed designed to antagonize, not to help.
Re: a comment on Happy 40th Anniversary by Dovina	14-Feb-06/4:40 PM
If second graders really thought up those lines and were not prompted some teacher, then they, not me, have the fabric of wishes.
Re: a comment on In response to by INTRANSIT	14-Feb-06/10:45 AM
The imposter uses and lower-case "l" instead of INTRANSIT's upper-case "I". The IP implicates Fraser Allonby, the same who has immitated me on various occasions.
