The Wordsmith's Forge

Thanks to a donation from chanter_greenie, there are 6 new verses in "What a Precious Privilege."  Lawrence and Stan begin the difficult conversation about what happened between them yesterday.  

I am still in the process of posting stuff, and for this poem, figuring who's helping cosponsor it because there were some overlaps in requests to sponsor other stuff.  But new verses!  Yay!

Thanks to a donation from lynnoconnacht,  there are 11 new verses in "What a Precious Privilege."  Lawrence enjoys the omelette and finally starts waking up enough to realize that there are some things he needs to say to Stan.

This poem was written outside the prompt calls, inspired by conversation with DW user Lynnoconnacht. It also fills the "sunshine and blue skies" square in my 7-30-14 card for the Genprompt Bingo fest, and the "comfort food or item" square in my 7-31-14 card for the Hurt/Comfort Bingo fest.  It belongs to the Antimatter & Stalwart Stan thread of the Polychrome Heroics series, and is a direct sequel to "Before the Fever Breaks."

This microfunded poem is being posted one verse at a time, as donations come in to cover them.  Because this was started on a quarter-price deal, the rate is $.25/line, so $5 will reveal 20 new lines, and so forth. There is a permanent donation button on my profile page, or you can contact me for other arrangements. You can also ask me about the number of lines per verse, if you want to fund a certain number of verses.
So far sponsors include: starcat_jewel, DW user Lynnoconnacht, DW user Chanter_greenie, DW user dialecticdreamer, Anthony & Shirley Barrette
