I sent it off and didn't say anything about the POVs. I felt a bit bad because my critique seemed a bit harsh, so I made sure to include all the stuff I liked. I don't like to be negative, but I feel like it would be worse to not mention real concerns.

Totally unrelated, Emaryn tore through "Sam" in one sitting. Her comments were too vague to be of any use, but she did say it was good. So there is the opinion of a 10 year old, a fully qualified kid.

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

Please pass my thanks on to Emaryn, Gud! I love my young beta readers. Vague comments are very useful. At ten, she might be a little too old for Sam, I think my target is 2nd grade readers (though, honestly, I'm unsure what that really means).

Whoot!

I'm reading away, Allyson. Will tonight be too late?

Not at all! I'm starved for feedback and will hand it all over to Kate on Sunday after a polish.

I will try to get through more by tomorrow evening. I won't be able to get through it all. I'm a bit over-committed at the moment.

Gud, I just appreciate anything at all, really. Thanks for helping me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I have it Allyson but I've been waylaid by illness. I can get to it this weekend. Plus I plan on sharing with the kids.

Loving and appreciating the feedback so far!

I'm just so happy with it right now. Even if an editor doesn't buy it, I tried my hand at fiction, and did the best I could. I wrote a second book. Huzzuh.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I know I'm late to the party, but I am finally caught up from my trip and I'd love to read it, Allyson. I am home tomorrow and will have time if you care to send it my way.
