That's great, Allyson! Good luck.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
ALLYSON!
If the air near you rippled just now, it was from the big old YESSSS! fistpump I gave.

This writers' retreat sounds just marvellous, and I think all our authors should do it: Hedgebrook.

Teppy, that place looks wonderful. I suck at retreats, though; I just love hearing about them.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Whoot, Allyson! Luck!
Also, Susan, I think four sounds about right. And Anna could injure but not kill hers, making for a languishing painful death that she regrets causing. Or making Jack have to clean up after her and be in danger.

By the way, I should make it very clear that I am completely usurprised at the agent wanting to read Allyson's work. What made me jump was the speed of it. Dayum, that first bite was quick!

I know! My, Allyson, you must be "now" or something! Go you!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I sent out about a third of the essays. Keep telling myself that the best to hope for is maybe some good feedback on why it blows.
If things work out better than that, think how surprised I'll be!
Seriously, I was up until 1am, trying to talk myself into sending it.
