Kim, thanks so much for reading and commenting on "Nostradamus." It delights me when folks actually get my humor. I see from your profile you're an Ameri-Canadian. I'm an Ameri-kiwi - living in New Zealand now. We're everywhere...kinda like a disease, eh?
Kim, thanks for reading and commenting on "Big." I was told by a very wise teacher to "write about cardinal issues: birth, death, marriage, divorce." I do sometimes; sometimes I don't.
Kim, I am always grateful for your comments on any of my stories, here and at other places where our writing lives cross paths. Thanks for the recent comments on "Tami Miami," among others.
Kim, thanks so much for your nice comment--and for the fav--re: my wry little story. You are hereby named My Favorite Person. (Note: the honor only lasts a day or two. Sorry, but I am a shallow and fickle person.)
Thanks, Kim, for your kind words about "Buckaroo". I especially appreciate that you found the voice to work. It was a departure for me in that respect. Glad to hear it worked well for you as a reader.
Kim,
Yes. The characters are just so intriguing! I wasn't ready to stop reading.
:) Thanks for reading 1991. I was nervous about posting that one, so your comment means a lot.
Thanks, Kim, for your comment on and fave of "Whiplash Marriage." Yes, wouldn't it be great to have one of those mirrors! Well, until then, I guess human delusion will have to do.
Kim, thank you for your warm-hearted comment on my interdenominational story “The Boy who killed Christ.” You are a kind and generous friend. Wishing you a serene holiday season, Frank.
Kim - hope you didn't have "the tits" running through your mind all day...but I really love your awesome comment on "Help Me Own You". Always a fan. Thank you!!
Thanks for the great remark on my story it's just death, so what. I appreciate a cheer and a vote of confidence for the imagination. Yes! Hope you are well. I still don't have my tree. (But I'm one of those who'll leave it up til the end of January at which point my husband will make me take it down. You know, fire hazards and all.) -- Q
Hi Kim: Interesting comments about "New Friends." That one just came to me in about fifteen minutes. Of course, I then spent five hours slicing and dicing. It was creepy fun to write.
Thanks for reading How To Burn Years and talking with me about it. I think you're right. There's not much else you can do but burn it all at that point. Thanks again, Kim.
Kim, many thanks for your thoughtful comment, and the fave, on “The Duende.” Your quote from your artist friend also was very colourful – thanks for sharing! Best, Frank
Hey Kim, I just googled up Thomas King and his book about the power of story....and now it's on my reading list! Thank you so much. Here's one back: Milan Kundera's "The Art of the Novel." Dense but very intelligent.
Hey, thanks for your kind words about "Ice." Oh, and by the way, I'm 'collecting' that Thomas King quote on your profile, "The truth about stories is that that's all we are," for my quote collection. I love that slightly irritated, slightly ecstatic feeling i get when someone says perfectly EXACTLY what i believe... : )
Kim thanks so much for reading both parts of Minor Damage and responding to the story, esp for your comment about how the ending is hopeful but no sure thing. It's a huge investment of time to read such a long piece, and I really appreciate it.
Thanks for your comments on Harmony in Blue and Gold. She loves peacocks so much, we have painting of the all over the house. They're a little less messy than the real thing... ;)
Hi Kim: Thank you for your response to "The Lesson." I wasn't sure it worked, and now that you and James have responded positively, I feel more comfortable with the content and form. Glad to be here at Fictionuat with so many supportive writers.
Kim, thank you for your great words on Unpacking Sentences! As always, I appreciate your insight, and love the way you saw it, as an immersion in words!
Hey, thanks for reading "How I learned What to Pray For." I'm looking forward to reading some of your work (friends on Fictionaut have recommended you!)
Kim: Thank you for your very kind words about shades of a young miss zorita. I greatly appreciate them. I look forward to reading your work. Sincerely. -- Q
Kim, Thanks for the read and fave on Friend of the Week. Someday I'm going to write a story in which the reality is not brutal. But probably not anytime soon :)
What can I say, I like your style. And I appreciate a good story.
So far, I'm loving this site. There are so many talented writers--serious writers--and it's energizing.
thanks for yer comment on "at the ministry" - i appreciate it. hope this won't give you bad dreams...well, canada is far away. loved "4p28" at 52|250 just now...
Thanks, Kim for the kind words re "la vie etc..." Montreal a place where I've spent a lot of pleasant hours and if I'd have had my way there would have been a lot more.
thanks for reading and commenting on "rodeo." i kind of admired bill markee's addled stoicism when he told me the story long ago. pleased that it came through.
Hi Kim, Thanks for visiting Godfrey part two, and also for your lovely comment on the (very different) Anything Again. I've had an eclectic week, I really appreciate you keeping up with it and offering encouragement!
Thank you, Kim. Since I'm a gentleman, I won't ask for your guilt movies! I have about 100 others. My new one is "The Wrestler" -- I'm not ashamed to admit I like it (it's a brilliant movie) but I'm ashamed to say how often I can (and do!) watch it. Really glad this piece works for you. D
Hi Kim, many many thanks re my novel excerpt (and other comments in the recent past...I'm TERRIBLE these days at thanking people). Quite exciting to hear you liked it.
Hi Kim - thank you for reading my take on The Last Time. I am looking forward to yours as we get this next week's 52|250 done. Thanks for submitting them, they are always an enjoyment.
Kim, I'd pleased you like "Bone Density" so much. Thank you for the fav.
"Thanks for introducing us to the rich world of the Fauves."
Beware. There's nothing historical or factual about these Fauves. These are the fictional Fauves who exist only in my head. But the art of the real Fauves is well worth getting to know!
Thank you Kim for your comment on Inheritance. I appreciate it.
I notice your quote which I had never seen before but heartily agree with. I used to teach people how to construct and tell stories in a former life. Now I'm trying to teach myself.
Kim, thanks for your comments on The '08 Campaign and the Katrina story.
History is the most important subject of all, because if you don't know who, what, and where you've been, how can you know who, what, and where you are now? Yet year after year high school students point to history as the subject they hate most. Just one more indication of just how radically fucked-up America society is.
Kim, thanks indeed for the kind comment on "Love Slut" always a pleasant shock when someone takes the time to dig back and find a slightly outdated piece and dusts it off for a read.
For your wonderful comment and fave on my story “Monsieur Editor and Madame Malaprop” – merci beaucoup! I’m thrilled you enjoyed it, Kim. You’ve made me feel most welcome on my Fictionaut maiden voyage.
Hi, again, Kim. Thanks for reading 'Bud Business? Booming!' Your comments are very helpful. Please excuse the sloppy typing in the previous comment. Someone was standing in the doorway talking to me as I posted it. I blame it on them. But I should have waited, of course.
Kim, thanks for the comment and the fave on "Things you remember in the middle of the night." It's actually one of the first things I've ever written that I was ever proud of.
Kim...thanks for reading It's Not Over...appreciate your comments. So you're an ex-Detroiter?..i didn't see my first major league game until i was already in college...but worth the wait to have that moment in venerable old Tiger Stadium
Thanks Kim for your comment on my story "Resume." The original draft was almost twice as long, but I needed to pare it down to under 250... I ended with exactly 250 words. Glad it worked for you, it was a hair-raising experience.
Hi Kim, thanks for the comment and the fav on Upstream. I'm intrigued by your goldfish comment! And yes you're right - the waiting game. Life can be that way if you let it!
Thanks, Kim, for your comment and fave on A Night of Not Knowing. So good to see you here and in other places! I look forward to taking in more of your work soon, too.
Kim - thanks for your kind words about the Peg Mokrass Advice story. I should make it a column somewhere! It would be fun. I'm always, always open to suggestions. The Nervous Breakdown says I can put them on their blog... I'm thinking about it. Nice to meet you here! Hope you're enjoying F-naut!
thank you, kim! "Flatulence can say so much sometimes..." - is so true. and "suffering from flatulence" covers such a wide range of ailments... ;-) glad you thought i hit the right note with that farting sound.
kim, picture dreams is so marvelous...your whole film maker's sensibility awakening to a fictional dream. is matchbook going to publish this? your comments (in the review) will be fascinating to read, i am sure. i'm asking cuz i would like to submit to matchbook myself. at some point. when i have something worthwhile to share.
kim just made a comment on waiting for the light in hidden workshop. unusually for me i'm giving quite a lot of detail because the story touched me. it's a great scene and imagery. it looks like a small part of something larger though...hope my remarks are helpful. i am new at giving remarks and i dont have the thickest skin myself so...just wanted to say i really liked it and my thoughts were made in that spirit!
so pleased you are here at fictionaut--and thanks again for reading my work.
i see you have made a short---the narrator of my nere novel, LEAVING TELLURIDE, is a failed filmmaker, a guy who made a few shorts that caused some buzz at sundance, then dropped out of sight, and wound up on wall street (sigh).

Hi, Kim! Thank you for reading "30 seconds." And commenting. And fav-ing. And adding me as a contact.
In fact, thank you for so many reasons to be thankful this morning!
Thank you for reading The Lottery. Much appreciated, as always.

"Thanks for introducing us to the rich world of the Fauves."
Beware. There's nothing historical or factual about these Fauves. These are the fictional Fauves who exist only in my head. But the art of the real Fauves is well worth getting to know!
Kim, I am ticked pink by your generous comment, and your fave of my poem, “Pink Garden.” Thank you!
Thank you Kim for your comment on Inheritance. I appreciate it.
I notice your quote which I had never seen before but heartily agree with. I used to teach people how to construct and tell stories in a former life. Now I'm trying to teach myself.
Kim, delighted that you read and enjoyed "Che at Barnes & Noble." Thank you.
Kim, thanks for your comments on The '08 Campaign and the Katrina story.
History is the most important subject of all, because if you don't know who, what, and where you've been, how can you know who, what, and where you are now? Yet year after year high school students point to history as the subject they hate most. Just one more indication of just how radically fucked-up America society is.
Thank you for reading Afghanistan and for the *. Much appreciated.
Hi Kim. Thanks for reading (and faving) my story "a microcosm". Much appreciated.
Hi Kim, so glad you liked my poem "blank", very much appreciate! yes, the long hot summer goes on...
Hi, Kim. Thanks for reading and faving "Parabola Tango." Glad you liked it. Your generous comments always make me feel good.

Thanks Kim for your comment on my story "Resume." The original draft was almost twice as long, but I needed to pare it down to under 250... I ended with exactly 250 words. Glad it worked for you, it was a hair-raising experience.

kim, picture dreams is so marvelous...your whole film maker's sensibility awakening to a fictional dream. is matchbook going to publish this? your comments (in the review) will be fascinating to read, i am sure. i'm asking cuz i would like to submit to matchbook myself. at some point. when i have something worthwhile to share.
kim just made a comment on waiting for the light in hidden workshop. unusually for me i'm giving quite a lot of detail because the story touched me. it's a great scene and imagery. it looks like a small part of something larger though...hope my remarks are helpful. i am new at giving remarks and i dont have the thickest skin myself so...just wanted to say i really liked it and my thoughts were made in that spirit!
Hi and welcome to Fictionaut. It's a very interesting community of creative people.We're glad you're with us.
I appreciated your comments about "Magnum Opus", Kim.
Following an extended separation, for the moment I'm reconciled with my daughter's mother. "This Was Something She Would Miss" hit me where I lived.

hi kim,
so pleased you are here at fictionaut--and thanks again for reading my work.
i see you have made a short---the narrator of my nere novel, LEAVING TELLURIDE, is a failed filmmaker, a guy who made a few shorts that caused some buzz at sundance, then dropped out of sight, and wound up on wall street (sigh).
i look ofrward to reading/viewing your work.
go canada.
