Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Allyson, you can send it to me too. I may be busy but I'm not too busy for you.

Punishingly Intricate
Burrell that reminds me that I totally owe you feedback! My brain has been vacationing these last couple weeks.

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I haven't read any of it but what you posted on line. I'd love to read it from the beginning!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh honey, you know I'm gentle. Plus, there's never much wrong.*
I am curious what he had to say, comparing his and yours, though. I was not ruthless with his chapter, but I was honest, and I winced about it a little bit after I sent it. He wrote me the sweetest thank you note.
*Where "wrong"="might need to be tweaked."

Bev is me here. I was the same way, wincing and all. which Allyson well knows.

It helped him push through it, and he sent me a rocking draft, with fleshed out fight scene, bolder description...he rose to it. Which means I'm not facing enormous rewrites.
No wincing. He's crash-coursing it. I'm proud of him. It's been lovely to watch someone bloom.
The book is something that I've been wanting to quit. I can't keep the narrative arc up, I'm not imaginative enough to make it compelling fiction. It's all very amateurish, and I feel ashamed of what I've written.
Sobbed good and hard in the shower.
