(I've got a story in an anthology called 'Quickies' and I do like a short title. The 'Written' cover above was one I thought of, but I thought it might throw up all sorts if anyone was actually trying to search for it, which is why I veered towards a longer title! I quite liked 'Other' as a possible too.broken birohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233920262119205474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592591789385602191.post-25294419473833885732013-01-31T10:29:01.496+00:002013-01-31T10:29:01.496+00:00Thank you. *sigh*Thank you. *sigh*broken birohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233920262119205474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592591789385602191.post-83329110563167832912013-01-31T10:28:40.934+00:002013-01-31T10:28:40.934+00:00Hmmmm.
