kleclere - you are so funny and so NICE .... but I'm a long way from perfection .... and really I'm hoping that this thread could be read by anyone who wants to write a Pixies story (or other story) and they don't have to feel so much like they are jumping in the deep end (or maybe I'm mixing metaphores- LOL) .... so anybody have some advice .....

One of the other big things I've learned .... and I really didn't want this to be true (for some unknown reason of my subconscious brain) .... the title does matter ... in this kind of a format, it kind of acts like that "grab" line you start a book with....so the title should be accurate, but it should also grab attention of the readers.
