So sorry you've been going through tough times. Wishing you all the best.

I like how you structure the chapter. You write with real control and subtlety, not giving too much away too quickly, developing things well.
-
You write well. Lots of finely chosen details. Good opening. Thanks for sharing. I realise I'm a long way behind with this!
-

-
Sounds like a lovely friendship.

You Get Out Of It What You Bother To Put In
carringtonrj commented on Yettie One's blog entry in The Yettie's Blog
Interesting thoughts, as ever. -
there might be sun at the end of july, apparently!

it's easy to use the word love - oh, i just love ice cream, etc. but if we mean it, i think it has to do with an absolute interest in the other - and that covers family, romantic, friendship love, i guess.

Love the live album, Made in Japan.
-
Interesting thoughts. For me bisexual is cool - full stop! But I take your points in the above.
-
It's never too late for a first time, I guess. Looking forward to hearing you on air!

Another great chapter. You handle the different threads really well. Jacob and Phillipe are very sweet - a really well-worked relationship. I wonder how you intend to tie everything together. As always you create very convincing situations, handling the historical setting so effortlessly. Thanks for sharing.
-
I like your train of thought here. I agree. I'm happy with my middle-agedness. I loved being young, but I don't want to go back. I like being here now.

So glad you posted. It's a really good first chapter. You have a lively, imaginative, engaging style. You have smart, funny, sharp ways of saying things. I like the evocation of the summer, term about to end - brings it all back. Great to see a mention of a space hopper! Oh, and 10 inches!! Seriously, you're a fine writer, a real eye for detail and real sense of voice. You've sketched everything nicely for a first chapter. Interesting now to see where this will go. Thanks for posting. An enjoyable read for sure.

Great to have plenty of reasons to feel good! And where do you get your energy from??

You Sure You Want to Do This?
carringtonrj commented on MJ85's story chapter in You Sure You Want to Do This?
Well written.Liked the dream sequence. Love a happy ending. What else can a dad do but love their kid for who they are? Thanks for sharing. Just a little bit better than the first part, I'd say! -
Which Way Do You Want To Die
carringtonrj commented on W_L's story chapter in Which Way Do You Want To Die
A really imaginative and thought-provoking piece. You fill in the stories with great economy and make some smart points along the way. A really interesting read. Thanks for sharing. -
You tell the story really well and show real sympathy with all involved. Really well written piece. Thanks for sharing.
-
A really evocative and involving story. You capture all that confusion and uncertainty of youth, that we all share in some way, and give it your honest, personal spin. A strong statement and involving for the reader. Thanks for sharing.

I'd never heard of this singer. Just looked him up - so handsome isn't he? But you did a really great job in dramatising his situation, really got inside his head and made it very convincing. The writing has pace and energy and real fluency, whilst feeling intimate and personal. Great job.

Changes - As I Saw It. Summer Anthology
carringtonrj commented on Yettie One's blog entry in The Yettie's Blog
You're so kind to write such lovely things about my story. Obviously, you couldn't really choose your own, could you? But it is a great entry, for sure. You do something really different with your story, drawing the reader in uniquely, making us part of the scene. It's a really bold move and works beautifully. You also cover an interesting, subtle little issue about gay identity too, so I'd put your story in my top three for sure. -
You write so vividly and convincingly. My guess is that you are secretly a shape-shifter yourself: that's how you can write so convincingly about them! I guess this is the start of an ongoing story, is it? It certainly ought to be. I could see a lot of mileage in the community that he has been asked to join. And there would always be the underlying tension of the government's interest. I could see it as a movie too. Don't forget us guys who supported you at this stage when you sign that multi-million dollar contract! Seriously, great writing; thanks for sharing.
