Thanks Hanna. Glad I managed to keep it sub 500 for a change. I think that's the first time I've managed that.

Squee! So good! The “imaginary” friends are often best…until they aren’t. 😈

Thanks Liz! This one just rolled out. Glad when that happens! Although the last one was a bit more strained, I think. It'll go smoother when I'm able to read again!

I love that, too. Wish it happened for me more often. I’m making progress with the SK book. Great stories and I can feel a smooth effortlessness to their telling. King seems so relaxed. Something for me to try to emulate.

He has a deceptive mastery of the craft. Don't like the novel on the whole but Billy Summers had some masterclass sections. There are few storytellers as powerful as SK. That said, I think your writing has a flow that reads effortless-- don't start pulling at that beautiful art! Now, honestly: should I cut the last one? It feels a bit off.

No, I wouldn’t cut it. Keep it and you may find something else you want to do to it. It’s a great premise and maybe only needs a little more development. Not much. But I am wondering: where did that ring come from; what’s going on with her sister. The ring capturing them is brilliant. Maybe that bitchy sister can find them, ha!

It’s too good to scrap, though. I have things that I like but I can see aren’t quite cooked yet, and some of them are years old! This is such a long game. 😜

This was very well done. Excellent pacing. No wasted words. Thanks for taking the time to write it out.
