Nah, I'll take a character. And I think if you or I really fall for a character and want to keep them, we can call dibs - either permanently or for a time. If it don't work, we can go back to sole control over everything. Heck, I'm willing to try it all. It's a challenge to share that creative control and I am totally up for it. :)

But yeah - I will take her on. For now. Because you know, dame walking into a cowboy's bunkhouse, her perfume the scent of lavender and something cheap. He knew she'd get his heart if he wasn't careful and if he really wasn't careful, maybe his wallet while she was at it. Never his horse though. Never his horse.

I set the scene because I felt too lazy to add in the bit about my cowboy. :D

EDIT:
And you should not post tons or else I'll feel bad. Be short like me. Haha

You, my dear, are shoulding on me.

And I will. ;) Small posts only.

I'm shoulding on you?

Is that some vernacular I've never heard of? Because I have no idea what that means. Haha.

BTW I now feel weird. All today whenever I've clicked on my 1x1 stories, someone random has been reading it. I feel like I'm being stalked. :o

Heh - it's a saying. Something you get to say aloud. If you say it without someone aware, it sounds like something else. Generally (not in this case, but generally) when someone says "You should..." they're insulting you or trying to give you an ideal to live up to. So a quick rejoined is "Stop shoulding on me." Because, generally when someone says "You should really be a better person," it feels like we're getting dumped on.

But in your case, that was perfect. :) So I just got to be silly instead.

And maybe you are. Your writing is amazing, so perhaps you've gotten someone intrigued? Or maybe they're trying to figure out if you would be a good partner? I do that.

I get it now. I've never heard that before. Must be a regional thing.

Flattery will get you everywhere. But I feel your writing is better than mine. Ha.

I don't know. It's been different people and a few "guests". But I guess that could be the case. :\

EDIT:
And now I'm going to pop off to bed. :D

Okay - I swear that is short. See? It has lots and lots of dialogue which makes it much less in word count, even if it looks long. It's a visual trick. Completely.

I can do more flattery, in particular if it will keep you writing with me. ;)

Sleep well. I am off on a fishing trip on the morrow, so I won't be back until... sometime Sunday'ish (because I get home and then leave right off for a family vacation just after). Provided I don't get et by a bear.

I hope you have/had a fun trip. And catch/caught lots of big fish~
