Hey Bobbi, thanks for the kinds words & faves on “The Wreck of Me” and “The Violent Kind.” Nice to connect on here. I’ve already enjoyed “Milkshake and Fries” and look forward to reading more.
Hey Bobbi! I think I totally missed the comment you made on The Fashion Police, dated Dec. 28. Apologies! I'm blaming it on Christmas. That seems like as good a scapegoat as any a month later! Thank you so much for reading it and taking the time to comment. Very much appreciated!
Thanks, Bobbi, for your technical support. This is me writing on your wall. Oooh, and I was always taught never to do this. Naughty me. Blame Fictionaut.
I knew immediately, as I was reading your pieces "He Was Slim And His Eyes Were Wrong" and "I’m tired of being timid." that I was reading surrealist automatic writing. Wonderful to see indeed.
Merry Christmas to you and yours and best wishes for the New year.
Regards
Laerrus
Bobbi: Thanks for reading YELLOW SHOES... and thank you for the sweet comment. As a matter of fact, thanks for all the nice comments you have left. Have a wonderful, peaceful Christmas and New Years.
thank you, bobbi, for your comment on "<a href="http://www.fictionaut.com/stories/marcus-speh/fox">fox</a>" and for confirming the change of title: it was originally called "black arts", which struck me as too obvious in the end.
Thank you so much for your kind comment on my story, Bobbie. I'd only just joined and posted it and was greatly relieved to receive your comment so quickly! What a lovely community this is!
Hi Bobbi,
Thanks for the welcome & your encouraging words re "Max." I am so pleased to be joining this community & look forward to reading your work. Take care, BETH
thank you Bobbi! I am so sorry I haven't been here reading a lot, maybe I can remedy that during the holidays, and it was kind of you to read "Summer Gun" I am so glad you liked it!
Thanks, Bobbi. I think you're right--ketone. Somehow I thought there was also a keytone (relating to printing colors) but since I can't find it on the Internet, it must not exist!
Thanks for the fave of the poem. Glad you liked it!
Bobbi, thanks for reading & giving a star to "Boo!" Yup, lots of good holidays coming up, but there's no rest for the wicked. That means you'll probably be okay, but I'm gonna be in trouble! (Lumps of coal in my Christmas stocking again, I bet.)
Bobbi: It's great to get a positive review for a story, in this case "Hot Dish." It's even better when the commentary is given by a wonderful writer. Thanks!
thank thee, bobbi. i appreciate your comment on "ginger". i'm a little unsure about the "stuff" in there but there are places where the rather dull embrace of such words is just right, "dickless" further below is another, and this one strikes me as one of them...i hope.
Bobbi, I love what you wrote about "Idiotsky"-- the author note being integral, etc, is an astute observation, one that I didn't pick up on till you mentioned it! Thanks for all you said about the story!!!
hello. thanks for reading and commenting on mutant. i think of words in musical terms so was particularly pleased that you heard them in those terms. i look forward to reading your stuff...
I appreciated your commentary on "Novembre". I look forward to reading your work. As for my choice of brutally "departed", it felt like an appropriate word choice for the voice. Good to hear from you.
Bobbi, so happy to be in TLW with you -- your story quite sterile and horrifying in a marvelously quiet way. Hope all is well with you -- I think of you often. Peace...
Bobbi, so glad you liked "blinking, blinking" which I wrote at the height of the Gulf oil spill. Of course the waters are still destroyed but the media has moved on. It's great having you back on the site!!
Thank you for reading my piece over again.(Wrinkles, Men and Shades of Grsy). You forgot to fave it, like you said you would. :) I'm rarely here because I'm working on a novel, but since I've joined a writing group I should be here more often, with shorter pieces.
Hi Bobbi,
Thank you for taking the time to read 'a memory of worms'. I'm really grateful for your comments and for engaging so closely with it. Hope this finds you well.

Bobbi, thanks for reading Poetipedia and commenting and fav! As for the syntax in "Listening", not a matter of right but fit, to me. It is quite a good work, and I am pleased to have had the chance to review it in workshop, and honored you agree.
Hi Bobbi! Thanks so much for your comment on 634. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I do indeed live in Spain. I am a Spaniard, and I've lived here for practically my entire life, so it doesn't seem like such a special place to me. The beaches do come in handy on particularly humid days, though. :))
I loved your comment on the high school years - sometimes I feel like I see things much more clearly than adults! I love being in high school. My classmates hate it, but I'd like to think that these are the days that will really mark my life, so I try to make the most of them.
Em dash is indeed a pseudonym, but only the "dash" part! You can call me Em.
Bobbi, Thank you for taking the time to read "Jew." It is a tough piece, so I really appreciate your comments -- and I'm so happy it worked for you. Your prose poem blew me away; I look forward to reading more.
Julie, I'm glad what I wrote sparked another idea. I really miss New York. I don't like seeing the chalk marks. I live in a place with so much crime. New York has become a safe place.
Thanks for your comment on Sanctuary, Bobbi. I wrote this before living in NYC, but certainly there's something about such tight quarters that invites distance, whether between people or from terrible events. Not sure. Your comment has given me something to think more about. Which may lead to a new piece -- thank you!
Thanks, Bobbi. Yes, A Body Divided is a memoir about growing up with Polio, just published, and now available from amazon.com, and as a kindle book too.

Bobbi, thank you so much for your kind words on my piece "What She Remembers" Actually, the change in font was a mistake!!! But sometimes mistakes just work! And thank you for faving this, it means alot to get a bit of recognition. And thanx for your understanding.

hi bobbi, welcome to fnaut and thanks for your close reading of my 'obituary' piece: 'What happened to the mother if the father was a casanova?' - she suffered. the mother's backbone is, in its entirety, subject of an earlier story of mine - when i first wrote this, it served as a reference. i'm glad the truth of this piece came through for you.

Thank you for your generous comment on The Miracle of My Father's Hat. I also loved Soliloquy on Ma.
Bobbi, thanks for commenting on "Three Stories of You." It's great you like it. Means a lot.
