"...The writer wrote alone, and the reader read alone, and they were alone with each other."
A.S. [Antonia Susan] Byatt

Y'all are invited to read the few stories I've put together here, but I warn you, I'm not very good about finishing what I start, so nothing here really has an end. Yes indeedy, I prefer to think of myself as just being extraordinary at beginnings ;) But if you're just really anile about what you read being complete from start to finish (::yawn::), then I suppose that perhaps soon I can rustle up some old high school essays or something. I don't know why my English instructors adored me so much, but maybe someone will read one of my old essays and give me some insight as to why I ever received so many "A"s. I blame it on ye olde "grade curve" :) If you have some criticism to share -- and remember, I'm delicate little flower, so do be kind ;) -- or simply are struggling under the weight of some creative impulse and wish to share an idea for an ending to one of my many unfinished short tales, please feel free to email me at OddGirl@cyberantics.net. Thank you for your kindness and your time.
