@faithdk I’ve reached 7,630 words. Which takes my story out of the short story category and makes it a novellette. 😀 Now, it go back through and refine it. *Stares at story* This might take sometime. 😀 *Such fun*

@writefury, thanks for your suggestion. 🙂 I’ve written a short story once but, honestly, they aren’t really my thing. 😛 I guess they’re just short (I know, that’s the point. 😛 Haha. 😉 ). But I’ve always liked longer stories. And, for me, short stories are so difficult to write! I know…weird 😛

@mas410, Really?!?! That’s so cool! You’ll have to refresh my memory; where have we met before? I’m sure I’ll remember…I’m kind of having a brain-foggy day. 😉

Wonderful @spradlin!

My assorted thoughts on this piece:
-As I said in my critique, the humor in this story is great and is still great this time around. Thumbs up from me for that.
-I second most of what other people have already said about the debit card and ticks.

So I kinda want a title that plays off of the notecards and metaphors; preferably kinda short.
*sarah, you should give yourself a pat on the back as you were the one who gave me the idea. 😀 -
