As to whether anything is added to that black coffee that may or may not have any unintended impact upon NWOI-levels, I have no comment at this time.<br /><br />Summer, I'm glad that my brutalization of Pee Domey's writing ego has brought a moment of joy to you today.

I assume this means that you like my writing, at least somewhat, so I do hope you'll consider more work from me in the future. In fact, I am attaching the 50+ short stories I have written, along with my first novel, Rooster, and my first novella, Bread, which is a literary horror story. Thank you very much for your consideration. <br /><br />...Sorry, Mr. Nevets, but the size limit of my attachments was exceeded, so I will not be able to attach Bread after all.Davin Malasarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385823575081492949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092805684169371138.post-55580931233102609402011-01-28T10:47:16.603-08:002011-01-28T10:47:16.603-08:00Strong voice, a lot of energy, and captured our at...Strong voice, a lot of energy, and captured our attention, but I'm afraid we prefer, "laundrette," and we will not be able to use your story at this time.

Even though I was exhausted from my P90X workout and hungry because I had also been too busy to go grocery shopping, I hauled my dirty clothes to my laundromat. Usually, the laundromat was just an ordinary-looking building. The front windows were scratched, and lint balls drifted around along the eddies of hot hair pushed out by the machines. There were old signs that bragged about how cheap a load of laundry used to be. But, today, the place had a strange aura around, something similar to the smell of Downy, but even cleaner than that...it smelled like Ultra Downey, and a lot of it. The usual patrons also looked different. They all seemed older than the people I typically saw there. I did my wash, and then it was time to dry my clothes. That was when I realized this was not my usual Laundromat.Davin Malasarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385823575081492949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092805684169371138.post-64638452388160335212011-01-28T10:23:21.046-08:002011-01-28T10:23:21.046-08:00No worries about the anthology.

Lots of work, I'm sure. We all appreciate it and really look forward to the finished product. I'm glad it will be on Amazon. <br /><br />Is there any way to get Genre Wars on Amazon? Even as a Kindle download? Some people have complained Lulu makes them jump through too many hoops.<br /><br />A magic dryer. Could make a great plot device.
