Well, feedback is like MiracleGro to muses, no?
Yes, my characters seem to be easily distracted by shiney FDK as well.
CAT: That's because other people are talking about us. We're in the gossip business and we need to know what they're saying about us.
What? Clark doesn't enjoy the scent of the cheap, stale cologne that Ralph marinates in?
CLARK:
True. But with her thoughts in part one, I'm thinking she might not care so much.
LOIS: It depends on the distraction that Clark has in mind.

There. That ought to entice Lois.
I'm in the money! I'm in the money!
CLARK: EW, I don't have an inner devil. I'm all good.
CAT: <<purrs>> You can say that again.
LOIS: Will someone please tell Cat she's not even in this story? Again! She didn't listen the first 3 times I told her.
CAT: That's because I never listen to anything you say, Lois. B-O-R-I-N-G!
LOIS: I've slept with Superman.
CAT: <<with rapt interest>> Details!
LOIS:
Gotcha!
Hear that, muse? Allow me to sit and read more often!
I usually catch what's posted on the boards, but I'm woefully behind on my Archives reading. Michael says only 250 stories to go and then he'll recommend the next bunch to read.
In the subtle things. Like noticing what the other's mouth tasted like, for example. I liked it!
Oh, right. Thanks.
