Why did you not take me by the elbow and drag me here earlier? I see now what I've been missing! Step. Away. From the box. Very smart and funny! See you again soon!davidbdaleTue, 05 Jun 2007 12:24:37 -0000http://gurufodder.disqus.com/bloggers_appreciation_day/#comment-1704339Thank you very much, Mark. Nobody ever gets my name right (You did!), and almost nobody understands that the Very Short Novels are exactly 299 words each (You did!). That and every other wonderful thing you said really made my day, not to mention placing me in excellent company. Thanks again.<br><br><em>DavidBDale's last blog post..<a href="http://davidbdale.wordpress.com/2008/04/14/church-of-the-two-thieves/" rel="nofollow">Church of the Two Thieves</a></em><br><strong>How could I get that wrong? You'd think I didn't pay proper attention to your writing! David, if I can help get you one more loyal reader then I feel I am doing THEM a real service. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

I hardly feel qualified to share space with writers who can do the whole job in just SIX words.<br><br>At 299 words each, my Very Short Novels must seem ridiculously verbose!davidbdaleMon, 22 Jan 2007 14:10:24 -0000http://instigatorblog.disqus.com/a_challenging_writing_contest_from_robert_hruzek/#comment-1645937Thanks, Ben. I don't think I can control the Snap Preview. It's a new feature of Wordpress. Is it objectionable? Should it be optional for readers, maybe? I should also note for your edification that of the 55 blogs that link to mine, according to Technorati, yours is first in order of authority (I presume because of the more than 500 blogs that link to yours!). So. I may be able to craft a sentence, but, damn, you can build a community!davidbdaleMon, 22 Jan 2007 15:28:18 -0000http://paulocoelho.disqus.com/quote_of_the_day_06/#comment-9889290Does the Warrior of Light also recognize the stillness that precedes an act of love?davidbdaleFri, 11 Jan 2008 11:00:15 -0000http://aimeebloved.disqus.com/aimee_b_loved_i_lost_a_follower_while_in_the_shower_id_make_a/#comment-5744122Sad and somehow strangely familiar.davidbdaleSun, 01 Feb 2009 07:02:38 -0000http://fictionmatters.disqus.com/free_book_pride_and_prejudice/#comment-10946562This is a brilliant concept, Hamish and needs to be pursued for other literary classics.
