And, it’s been another week! Last weekend I bought a toy cowboy gun (complete with sheriff’s badge), watched an episode of Sherlock, finished another Wodehouse, and wrote another conversation. Ever fear there are too many conversations in your book?

Never mind. Read some flash fiction:

  1. There are definitely too many conversations in my book, but then, I like conversations! 😛

    Anywho, which Wodehouse did you finish?

    1. A collection of stories called “Wodehouse is the Best Medicine.” You’ve got me addicted. I seem to buy another Wodehouse every time I go to Half Price. I have five now. I will probably attack the Jeeves Omnibus next.

    1. Well, conversation’s not bad, especially in flash fiction. Also means it will be easier to turn into a movie if Hollywood ever comes calling. I just feel like I need a little more action. I just tend to find conversation more fun. Why is that???
