Picking stories for my SH workshop application. Wounds we thought, for sure. But then, what other story? Hannah said Salt over Blinding, and Blinding over Bough, and I think she's right, but Salt is 6.5K, and Wounds is 3.6K, and that's too much. Has to be...5.4K or less. So I thought of Flawless, but it's flawed, or Goddess, but no one gets that one, and so it's at least a revision from perfect. SH has Driftwood, and I'm just not quite sure what the protocol is there--Mary Anne said we could use published stories as our application, but what about stories like Driftwood or Firing, which I still think is one of my best, despite them turning it down. I thought of Requiem which is at least probably perfect enough for submission, i.e., wouldn't embarrass me completely. And I keep thinking about it, but as though it's a new thought, which is when I decided it was time to write this post so I didn't forget again.

I haven't ever had a whole Gin and Tonic. I don't really like the taste. But my mom bought Minutemade Limeade, and it tastes like G&Ts, and I really like the taste suddenly, and for a moment there craved someone else drinking them so I could sip from their cup (my favorite way to drink, because that way I don't have to drink the whole thing on my own if I get tired of drinking it. And I did this somewhere, why can't I remember where? I had about half of one before I disliked the flavor too much and gave it back. I hope it wasn't a dream. I always hate getting them mixed up.)
