Timely

Yesterday I found in the mailbox a copy of Becoming A Writer by Dorothea Brande. Woo! Could the kind soul who sent it to me please speak up so I can thank you properly?

I'm a few chapters into it now and it's a great read. It was originally written in 1934 but still reads fresh as a daisy. And she's a witty old broad. It's not condescending or wanky like some writing books can be.

Yes, what's up with that error I got before?

BTW, it wasn't me, I'm poor as anything.

Sorry, Shauny. No one got Christmas presents from me this year, other than a copy of a chapbook. Huzzah!

It weren't me, either.

But what I do have for you are five words randomly selected from a dictionary: 'drive'; 'rhododendron'; 'heap'; 'break'; and 'scent'.

One short story or five microstories, it's up to you.
