I sat down on her Very Squeaky Mattress and said, “Good morning. I hope you had a good sleep. Let’s get up and exercise.” She said, “I named my bed.”... 10. Leftovers = happiness. 9. The right mattress-pad camping thingie makes all the difference. 8. “Lights Out” is hilarious. Completely. 7. Two words: Banana Creamies. 6. Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile.

Elliot is a part of a team working to raise funds on... It’s that time again. Revision. Re-revision. Re-re-revision. (That sort of implies that it started with a VISION, right? And that should help this process along.) Agent M sent the latest round of notes, I read them right away, and I’ve taken the weekend to process. A few thoughts on the whole deal: – Far fewer... |
