Since I so horrbly pointed out your double use of the much-more-common "this," I had to confess so I can hopefully forsake. Surely I could have found a different word! Please forgive my hipocracy. Still love your story.<br /><br />See you tomorrow! :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413777557796110450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-51153543772918908352010-04-19T20:08:30.302-07:002010-04-19T20:08:30.302-07:00I adore your writing.

It's one of those obsessive hatreds where you have to find out everything there is to know about the object of your hate so you can hate it even more. Things like "why does she use the word 'this' twice in two sentences?" and "if there are 6 months left, how many did she start with?" and "WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?????" I have to know or my hatred will never be requited and then I'll go to hell for being filled with hate and it will be all your fault. You wouldn't want my eternal damnation on your conscience, would you?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413777557796110450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-74322848774193067502010-04-16T15:43:46.125-07:002010-04-16T15:43:46.125-07:00Thanks, L.T.!
