It’s a conspiracy.

My friend Erz said, “poke me and make me write! let’s send each other everything we work on!”

My friend Sweet Pea said, “let’s work on an epistolary project! also send me everything you write!”

My friend Bom said, “I miss writing. Send me some of yours.”

My friend Meg.2 (as opposed to Meg.1, who is not a writer) has us both on a strict new Writing Regimen that involves nagging via gchat. She also spent half an hour on Sunday brainstorming on a story in ways that made the hair stand up on my arms.

Ang. read a flash fiction and had a whole convo with me about *choosing vocabularies*, which caused lights like fireflies in my head.

And Jen emailed with links and a meandering convo about folktales, plus two ideas of her own and a request to read more of mine.

Guess I’d better get writing, if all these people want to read.
