Isolated Blurt Thread

[yui]

I have a stupid question:

What makes a novella a novella? What is different from a normal story? Just length or entries? Please, enlighten me.

Length. Just length.

Found scribbled on a paper, tucked into a book I was reading in the fall. Can't remember writing it, even though it's in my handwriting...

When I hear that ring on my phone, your ring, I still jump for it. It doesn't matter what else I'm doing, where I am, or how many ways we've hurt each other. If I know it's you, I'm there. Ready to take your shit, or hold you up or kiss your soft mouth. I'm willing still to be whatever you need.
I don't remember ever feeling quite this way -
My friend R says he doesn't understand it because he avoids relationships as intense as ours. I say, there is no relationship anymore.
It's over. Been over for weeks. Or months. And maybe it never started.
When we dated, we weren't dating.
And when we were sleeping together, we weren't supposed to be.
And by the time I was your girlfriend, we were both already wondering how long till it was over.
R laughs at me. Online, no less. And still I know he's laughing.
Talking to her every day is no way to kick the habit, he warns.
I know it. I still have the track marks from us running down my arms.

Classy writing, Logo.

Just IMHO, the last sentence could be stronger. But consider submitting this to some flash fiction sites.

Hi Rika! No worries, I don't feel stalked.

Thanks for the command ... the whip adds impetus! <nods> I will go to work now! Hope you have a wonder day!

I hope your day is every bit as pleasant as you are. Enjoy work as best as ya can. Try not to kill anyone or burn the place down. If you succeed in these two areas, it's been a good day. At least that's how work is to me.

That's high praise, Rumply. I'm all a-flutter...

stopping by long enough to stare at Logo's fluttering...

*blurt*

Fuck! You're such an insensitive bastard sometimes. It shouldn't surprise me anymore.

 

[impressive]

I love this place.

You're right, you shouldn't be surprised. After all, the B-man is the soul of consistency. (Psst, hang in there, big guy)

That's high praise, Rumply. I'm all a-flutter...

Logo, you're welcome. You earned that warm fuzzy.

There are at least a couple of flash fiction e-zines that actually pay. I'd suggest trying them first.

It's been a whimper-inducing day. I'd be in the fetal position under my desk if I weren't expecting a client.

Do Rumple and I have to hurt someone for you?

I hear you. I like to do the fetal position either in bed covered in blankets, or my personal favorite, crying on the floor of the shower.

I wish it were that simple. Unfortunately, to get me out of doing payroll taxes, you'd need to overthrow the U.S. Government.



I'm noticing that, and it might even coax me out from under the desk. *sweet smile*

I've always wanted to start a coup.
