vomiting

[Born In Sin]

No to the vomit, but I just read JAS The Things They Left Behind and I bawled like a baby. That story just touched me.

Ive never puked from any stephen king movie or book---- or any other movie and ive seen quite the list of gross and gorey movies----- but puke ?? i dont think i ever will

I made my mom puke with a short story. She wouldn't talk to me for two days. Compared to what's "out there" it wasn't severe...she just wasn't ready for it. WT rejected it also.

(The Mom-Silence was payment enough!)

Maybe it wasn't the actual story that made her vomit but the more the fact that you, her son, had written it.
I have to admit the first time I read the story you're talking about I did wonder for your sanity.
Now I KNOW you're nuts, but back then I wasn't too sure.

I've read it quite a few times now though and it's one of my favourites of yours.
I actually think the main character is deserving of a full book being dedicated to him, not just a short.
But are YOU brave enough to write about him??

I don't think so. I don't even think I named the guy. Maybe it was a gal? I don't remember, and I'm not sure that I want to...................

I think it was the way it was written that caused the good problems. Logical. Friendly. Methodical, and maybe even Methodist. Iceblooded, constant, accurate, and intense. No character has no writer parent.

I don't think I'm ready to play with that kid again anytime soon.

I only get this kind of regurgitation reflex after accidentally clicking onto
Rush Limbaugh or Glen Beck!!!

nope

Bryan James: I write short stories that mildly entertain people, but never has one made someone not speak to me for two days.
You must teach me your magic.

As to SK making me vomit, UTD, first time. And honestly, it was more of a rage reaction. Which was weird. I mean, not that I don't have a wicked temper, because I do. But I've read books with truly horrific things in them that didn't cause me as much upset as UTD re: Sammy Bushey.
Makes me angry just thinking about it.

Nothing that I have read in a book has been quite as disturbing as the recent evening news. Especially when the revelations about "advanced interrogation techniques" were coming out. Our government (USA) makes me sick on a daily basis.
