Bad Dog Blues

To My Fellow Coffee and Critiquers:

I'm so sorry. I really intended to come to group last night. I even had an old story that I planned to rework and bring along to read. As I remembered it, the story was close to being ready...just needed a little tweaking. So I pulled it out on Tuesday to make the changes and run off copies.

I found it in my file and took a look. Was this the same story I remembered? This tale didn't require tweaking. It required a major overhaul. I fiddled with it. Then I fiddled with it some more. Quite a while and a few more gray hairs later, I put it away.

I have two weeks until the next group, don't I? If it's not ready by then, please put me in my kennel without a treat.

Bad girl!

Hi Pat,
There was a typo in my previous post, so here goes again. We look forward to seeing you whenever we can. I have a copy of Cuivre River Anthology to give you. Your essay is in it.
