Hope you can survive another few hours in those stilettos (don't tell, but I've already taken mine off!). ;-) Like several of my Stiletto Sisters, I tend toward the verbose (brevity, what is that?). I think writing short stories is one of the hardest things to master, and I'd rather write 350 pages than 20. So you have my admiration! <br /><br />Cheers,<br />Susan<br />http://SusanMcBride.comSusan McBridehttp://susanmcbride.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-64268362183144063592009-12-17T11:59:12.956-05:002009-12-17T11:59:12.956-05:00Thanks for all the kind remarks!

So glad you like the post.<br /><br />Quarry is a really great anthology, full of wonderful New England stories (especially Hank's tale of an overconfident philanderer)-- check it out if you get the chance.<br /><br />I just love the Irish Wolfhound in the Santa hat (see the rotating photos). My parents had one, and he had a great personality.<br /><br />As for wearing the stilettos, how does anybody stand these things? My feet are KILLING me!Vinny O'Neilhttp://www.vincenthoneil.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-2193381805887300852009-12-17T10:48:37.298-05:002009-12-17T10:48:37.298-05:00Thought this was a great post.

Can't wait to read the new one.<br /><br />In reading QUARRY, it's so astonishing how different the stories are from each other. All those little explosions of story. I haven't been much of a short story reader until recently--and I do recommend it. <br /><br />Happy holidays, dear Stilettos!
