Still sweating and the curse of the emoticon

62250 / 100000 words. 62% done! haven’t posted lately, so there it is. line of the day: I’d imagined the sender, my secret commander, crafting each word with the intent of forcing me one more step along a path so curved I couldn’t see the end. And on emoticons. It’s hard to judge someone’s tone [...]
