Christmas bunny: 1,602 words in two days and counting. 

You know, some people can actually write poignant, snappy, funny stories in fifteen hundred words or so.  The kind of story that makes you grin in delight, or ooh, or sniffle.  Compact, contained skill.  Bursts of pleasure. 

I'm getting so that I'm lucky if I can finish a scene in that amount of words.  Nngh.  Why can't I do short any more?  *eyeroll*

Flip that on its head and it's my lament. *G* I wish I could do long!

Also, I totally just made you a Christmas present already. May mail it early to be sure it reaches you on time...

Because you're a thoughtful and meticulous writer with a rich style?

Ooh, now I'm all curious! :D

Ah well, to each their strengths, I suppose--I always had to edit down those thousand-word challenges.

*giggles at the two of you*

So - without hinting any more than I have to - you don't mind red and purple, right?

Mwahaha. *firm nod* I intend to make sure you GET a present this year-- and not late either! *slaps own wrist for last year*

Whereas I struggle to fill them - so I guess that's it!

And I still owe you a couple! *sigh* Exchange rates, bleah. No, I love purple, it sounds very interesting!

I hope you enjoy it! The film is definitely a romp. I'm already waiting on the next one...

It's okay, love. I understand how much exchange rates suck. If it helps, I am perfectly happy to snag a second-hand book or something, given the awesomeness of that bookstore you have near - I don't mind if something isn't new, not at all! Though that does remind me that I really need to update my book catalogue at some point soon... *huggles muchly* Anyway, yeah, don't worry about it.

Yay! *grin* Oh, and if you're bored, I posted another lyric meme. :)

Grr, hopefully this year will be different. Alas, the bookstore closed--the library sale is still open, but Bonifant is gone. *sniffle* Yes, update your catalogue and give me a link or something!
