    I don't know... I feel I can talk more easily with male teachers, for some reason, but then I am less on-edge when a woman is teaching. An exception is ...

    I used wonder about it... geek that I am. I do believe I write 'till' more than the other, because I think it looks better. But, then again, 'til is ...

  • Historical Fiction Short Stories Re: Nectar of the Gods

    Hi again, Bittersweet. I think you've outdone yourself here. Normally, if it was an average storyline, I would complain that it was a bit 'this happened, that happened' but I ...

    Hey, thanks for lending some time to critique, chocoholic! I'm not really sure if this should be in Other Fiction I know. My Bad. Thing is, I didn't want it ...

  • General Fiction Short Stories Re: Remember His Name

    I thought this was a great read, casstic. I can see how the MC is unstable in her feelings for his man, how she can't make sense of them, and ...

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time.
