Back in December, New York Magazine had a neat page that featured the writing of people all over Manhattan. The reporters had approached “laptop-using strangers in Starbucks … and asked them to show us the sentence they were working on.” Cool, huh? The results ranged from cover letters to rap lyrics to essays on gender identity. My favorite was a grad student writing a film. His last sentence: “Navy Seal (Steve).” Go Steve!
So I thought it would be fun to ask you guys: what’s the last sentence you wrote before surfing over here to the hot pink wonder palace of Bitchery? Mine was: “what’s the last sentence you wrote before surfing over here to the hot pink wonder palace of Bitchery?” (It’s not very interesting if I play along, is it?)
My demon h explains she tossed her latest romance novel away in disgust because it was neither urban or fantasy.
“It’s about a soccer mom that slays vampires!”
Thanks, Nancy. I added this site to my favorites. I found a Crusie in the Later/Rumor list taht I never heard of.
And I’m not talking about considering yourself a ‘woman’ either!
My first SBTB comment ever. I couldn’t resist the last sentence challenge.
“I have to taste you. Now Angel.”
Yeah. Okay. 2 sentences. LOL.
I Married a Communist (1949) was released as The Woman on Pier 13 but no one wanted to see dumb Americans being outsmarted and blackmailed by gun toting Communists
Ah, history essays on Cold War propaganda…how I love you.
She is the one who is going to make the most positive impact on the world.
I’m writing a letter of recommendation and it’s winning- but that’s what edits are for
Kes- Condolances
“Linden got sent home from school today with pink eye. Yuck. I so
very much hope we did not share it with you, but be on the lookout!” A mass email to several of my daughter’s parent’s friends – yes, I live a life of glamor.
“forwarding…forwarding…”
What I write when I’m forwarding yet another e-newsletter to my husband’s Blackberry, as he never reads them from our joint email acct.
Patient remains unconvinced that surgery will restore vision to his L eye, but accepts that cataractectomy is the only way to find out.
And folks say medicine isn’t glamorous.
And it was all done in 1891 by Ambrose Bierce, anyhow.
just wanted to add, best wishes, Kes, I’ll be thinking of you.
I don’t have to reach for the stars….the treetops are good enough.
Last sentence of an email, regarding a friend of mine:
Please keep her family in your prayers as they seek answers to their little girl’s medical condition.
Oh , no, Waterford! 🙁

Work, regarding a pita co-worker.

By “med sharps”, do you mean 2-gal or 3-gal?
(It was a work email and I’m intrigued to know if anyone here knows what I was talking about.)
“To Mike, my favorite Disney princess”
It’s an inside joke….
Tina C. Sharps containers? Stand alones? Or wall hung? I’m thinking that’s what you meant anyway…
Is ‘neolithization’ a real word even?
BTW, I love Joanna Lumley.
OH! paper49: how did it know?
Summarising, don’t waste your money on this one. Or any time.
You know all- It took me a while to post my response, ” Unfortunately we won’t be staying with you this trip but hope to sometime in the future,” because I debated for quite a while about whether to add a statement of context to it. In the end I didn’t but it was a hard call.
Of course it’s natural to want to give the reader more insight and natural to be curious and want that explanation, but I really think I like them better floating alone with no context.
It really makes you think and gets the creative juices flowing
“And she could always come back via a medium to testify against Aileen Wuornos. “
“And if I could get within ten feet of a broom without falling down I’d show you just how wrong you are.”
Thanks, all.
“Oh she had promised to be on her best behaviour, but bad girls just wanna to have fun too. Scaring the life out of little Dimitri would provide just that. “
I’m available for lunch, exercise or anything else that’s not kinky tomorrow.
Hey! What’s wrong with kinky??
😉
Regretfully, yes.

Not when on the shelf next to them I have a half-full retail box of Nsync lip balms.
I’m not even going to try to explain that.
Leah is happy the Gingerbread Complex Messtacular is done.
It’s a status update on Facebook.
Thank-you.
Hey, I don’t drink it after noon, but I’d carry it around in an IV drip until that point. Me uncaffienated is not pretty. There’s stumbling, cursing, a little drool and the possibility I’ll curl in a ball on the floor and keen quietly till I get some.
The little girl growled, the sound of a feral creature, not a human, and gathered her shoulders over Renny’s still body like a territorial and wild dog.
Rampant, pg. 193
Wall-hung (but they can stand alone). That was the last sentence of my response to the lab’s medical supplies request.
“I don’t believe anyone’s going to be willing to take that risk.”
