    The Empty Road

    Clear and strong and direct. You are a talented writer, as, of course, you know.
  16. It's really vivid and imaginative and pulsing with a sort of passion and energy that is very engaging. A really interesting piece: vibrant, challenging, different. Thanks for sharing.
  17. Lots of interesting thoughts, a real voice of conscience. You express precisely how most of feel, I guess: we do OK; we have problems of our own; but are we failing to do enough for those who are so much worse off than us? Is ours a good life? A difficult question to answer, but asking it all is a first step, I guess. Thanks for sharing.
  18. Can you post a pic of the book? I'd be intrigued to know how the final product looked.

    Déja Vu

    So why is he getting drunk all the time? Something he's trying to run away from, forget, deny? Lovely build up going on here. Thanks for sharing.
  20. All the best to you. Glad you seem to be relatively OK after such a dramatic event. Hope they quickly find out exactly what was wrong with you. Take it easy.

    Chapter 2

    You keep the energy going well and add a really strong plot development. You sketch your characters briskly and convincingly. I like how they talk to each other - nicknames, playfulness. You write well, and you're obviously enjoying yourself, which comes across really well to the reader, makes it enjoyable to read. Thanks for sharing.
  22. What I wrote is factually true, though of course you should feel free to get rid of it. I can't think of any politician who I feel as positively about as you seem to be about this one. I have good, heartfelt reasons for disagreeing with your assessment of her. She was not "gay-friendly" either. But I really do not want to get into a big debate, just wanted to suggest that it's possible at these times to over-estimate someone's achievement and forget their failings and mistakes.
