‘Things’ I’ve been mistaken for

A girl.

A narc.

    I can imagine a narc, perhaps. A girl, never…

    Unless you were baby in your mother’s arms at the time.

    fourth grade, Bonham TX, long hair.

    And a Bert T-shirt? Though that is not especially girly.

    I’d forgotten the “tale-tell-sign” once-upon-a time was long hair.

    How far we’ve come, these days.

    How far we have yet to go.

    I’ve been mistaken for human. But not often.

    I’ve frequently been mistaken for a resident of whatever city I am visiting.

    I just received the most recent NYTyrant. Love your piece. How wonderfully it morphs from “people” to the “lycan-thropic.” Delicious! I don’t know if you intended, but how it speaks, to me, to puberty and its <Ialien descendance upon a person. I “glean” it’s a piece “in motion.” I can’t wait to read more.

    Oh, man. I’ve been reading various selections from this work-in-progress, but I keep forgetting to get me a New York Tyrant. Thank you for mentioning it, Rick, as well as for offering your insight.

    Thanks, Rick and Sheila. It’s a fake folk-tale (I mean, a folk-tale I invented) to function within a novel about Maltese werewolves. Yes, the puberty connection is direct. Hopefully I’ll get the novel accepted–maybe by NYTyrant Books–though the novel at large is not like this story, but set in the present. Thanks again. You are both very kind.

    And I love the title. “Stop Your Caterwauling,” isn’t it?

    “Stop Your Caterwauling” is indeed the title of the excerpt in the new New York Tyrant.

    And lest Cindy run screaming into the night, I think I’ve got the hook for creating the third book of “Christabel”.

    will you post some of it here?

  13. Sheila Ryan on May 9th, 2009 at 11:23 am

    Please do, Renner. What Deron said. (Meantime, y’all, here is a drawing related to Cooper’s work-in-progress, and here are more.)

    I forgot to mention that Daryl has two pieces in the self-same issue. Folks you need to get out and get a copy of the latest NYTyrant.

  15. Sheila Ryan on May 9th, 2009 at 6:56 pm

    I’m goin’ to the gettin’ place and gettin’. Now.

  16. Cooper Renner on May 9th, 2009 at 11:19 pm

    Post some of which?
