Plays, I think. Short plays. Only because they're quick and easy to write!

Pocket Full of Drabbles
(Science Fiction & Fantasy)
1 chapters
—
updated Sep 29, 2009 01:26PM
Description:
A "drabble" is a story (or at least a "completed" collection) of 100 words long. In attempting to stab my brain to life in the midst of work and working with post-nasal dribbles, I decided to write <i>one</i> drabble (b/c it is short, pithy, and means one feels as though one completed something with very little effort). This invariably led to a second drabble, which was connected to the first. Which is leading to a third...and so on. Because it never dribbles but it drabbles. (Oh, I'm full of 'em. Try the veal.) I'll upload them as I have them. <i> (And yes, turns out the above is also...a drabble. Oy.)</i>

| Many people have complained that Deerskin is "too dark," "too gritty," "too adult" for McKinley. While that may be true for McKinley's primary AUDIENCE (YA), it's hardly true for the author herself. The novel, based on the grim Grimms fairy tale, dea ...more | |

“What could she have done? She was a heroine, and with that came certain obligations.”

“Such a narrative as this demands some sort of physical consolation for its spiritual tribulation. Our heroine received it in one last cup of tea. The reader may be advised to do so likewise.”

“Another strike of lightening – now accompanied by the deep-bellied rumble, and the horse reared, incidentally setting Henry very picturesquely against the inconstant moon. Alas, Catherine was deeply engaged in her argument with Old Edric and this missed entirely the melodramatic display. But we may assume that, possessing so strong an imagination, Catherine had often pictured Henry thus...”
