@rhawser: *thank you* for your comment on my writing. The DIRT story came to me when I was in the shower one morning, trying to figure out how I was going to use that word (dirt) in what I hoped would be a compelling story. As my brain tried to sort that out, I thought about the shower I was having, and then, the fact that I knew someone who was obsessive-compulsive about washing his hands. Then, back to the story, and how it had to have some sort of conflict to keep things interesting. And that’s when the story fleshed out.
The Girl is amazingly real. I say “amazingly” because quite frankly I’ve never met anyone like her in my life. Or rather, anyone who’s had an effect on me the way she has. We are polar opposites, of course: I don’t think there’s a more relaxed person than her. Which probably gives you a good indication of what I’m like.
I thought she was gone but….(don’t know if you got this far in the story), I pulled a rabbit out of a hat and we’re together.
Never saw Ice Age but now have it on one of my many lists. So hopefully I’ll see it. *grin*
