Guilty Conscience: BIG NEWS!

Hi folks,

We were all asked to create a short story based on a song. One of my favorite songs is Tom Waits' "Small Change." I even teach it in my writing classes.

    Congrats on being asked to submit a story to that collection - I like the idea of writing the story based on a song.

    If I was asked I'd choose "The End" by Pearl Jam or "Hazard" by Richard Marx.

    But I wasn't asked.

    JJ--yeah, but you were asked to contribute a story to Kindle All-Stars and I wasn't so we're even... :)

    I like Hazard a lot!
