When it comes to good writing, there’s a lot at steak.

It’s the shape of the thing, we’re so often told. No, not THAT! Well, not always that. Every piece of writing has a form – an author’s Rorschach, if you will. Only sometimes, Like Julie Mark Cohen’s entry here, the lines have minds of their own.

      Lori, Thank you!  As you may recall from several stories with Seyfert in the Saturnalia Laboratory, he, too, wears a professional pink toga.  SeyTTT-ian males prefer pink!
