  2. I'm laughing at "I'm NOT a virgin"
    and I can't believe that "For Kicks" doesn't have a home with "You need to put some clothes on" for an opener. LOL.

  5. You have some great first lines here. I suck at writing them, and find myself going over and rewriting them forever.

  6. I can't count how many times I rewrote the Just One Spark one! Sheesh!

    For Kicks is...going to be tossed at my Samhain editor next. Poor thing. Here's hoping she stays off the 13 loops today. She'll start to get scared at how much I have to give her.
