Erato?" But a bad pun using a Muse's name and based on a forgotten 70's Styx song that I didn't particularly care for anyway was kind of a stretch. Most people didn't catch it and wondered where the Japanese element came in. Which it didn't.<br /><br />And I can only admire your perceptive nature regarding "My Father's Hands"... ;)<br />StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838020557998499402.post-67374249894656158202015-02-05T19:53:16.861-05:002015-02-05T19:53:16.861-05:00Loved the "My Father's Hands" sample...Loved the "My Father's Hands" sample!

You're right...You've been busy my friend. <br /><br />You're right about the piece you posted here. It's got wonderful potential. I already like it a lot. With some tweaking it will be wonderful. I'm still not sure how I feel about revision. Love it? Hate it?<br /><br />I really liked your piece over at Every Day Fiction, though I didn't comment. I can't bear the Disqus commenting system. <br /><br />Those 50 word stories are something. Even though I'm not big on the sci-fi, I thought that was pretty darn good.<br /><br />Lastly, I rather like the word prompt stories. You did a really nice job with this one. Those sorts of challenges force us to stretch as writers.
