which_chickHave you ever gotten cut badly and unexpectedly using a razor blade or a really sharp knife? I'm talking about the kind of cut that blooms red instantly but doesn't hurt until you've stared at the blood welling up for several extra-long seconds of horrified anticipation. Sometimes I write things that cut like that.
These days I try pretty hard not to send that sort of stuff out to people -- those very-special comments get edited in the rewrite. There's enough needless cruelty in the world that I don't need to be adding to it.
The thing that really sucks, though, is that sometimes the razor blades I write are beautiful, perfect things. I absolutely fucking hate having to throw them away without at least showing them to someone who will understand their perfection.
