You know...I actually made moves to have that story removed from the book because it was SO true, and I actually DID write it while sitting in a meeting. I was afraid others in the same meeting would recognize "things." ha! Then I found out it was too late...already gone to press.

So for anyone who worked with me, this story was absolute fabrication on my part, k? Would I lie?

As for story endings, the stories pretty much write themselves. When I start one, I just write till it ends. Thennnnn...I go back and take out the bazillion commas I've added.
