A Season to Live, A Season to Die

Sorry for your loss. -
you write really well, handling the science convincingly and without slowing the pace. the personalisation of the situation worked very well. thanks for sharing.
-
you put in some really interesting ideas here and give it a great foundation in a relatively ordinary situation. a big topic to handle and you did it well.
-
you set out a bleak but believable scenario. it's frightening to think how close we might be to such a disaster at any time. and the way that killing becomes the only option is particularly striking. you really thought through the possiblitiies here and played out the scenario to the full. thanks for sharing.

interesting how attitudes have changed over the years - much for the better. when i was a kid, it seemed that people thought nothing about driving after a drink. now, it's rightly very much a taboo thing to do. though i think there's still a lot of hypocrisy about alcohol mis-use, especially when you compare attitudes to drugs to how people behave with alcohol. so, i think your story is timely and apposite. thanks for sharing.

interesting approach to your story - blending into a kind of poem. thanks for sharing.

Life and its Curve Balls: Part III

Wishing you all the best. -
you capture the family exchanges very economically. i wonder what led you to write about scarring and injury. thanks for sharing.
-
You have such a range of ideas in your stories - not to mention all those prompts you supply! Thanks for sharing this - another original story, different again from your other pieces, and not as dark as your last anthology story, thank goodness!

Sorry for your loss of your friend.

The Princess and the Wanderer
carringtonrj commented on James Hiwatari's story chapter in The Princess and the Wanderer
Your enjoyment in what you are doing really comes across, making it an enjoyable read. thanks for sharing. -
Very well realised, as ever. Great energy in the first part and strong imaginative play in the latter half. Interesting to set the fantasy in the context of pressures to grow up and conform to expectations - so that it may be metaphorical rather than fantastic, after all. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and thanks for putting the anthology together!
-
I thought this was a really well-written story. You use the dark room conversation really well. Revealing bits of back story subtly. And the ending works well in this context to make the reader think again about who is who. A skillful piece. Thanks for sharing.

An interesting insight into the medical world. bleak ending! thanks for sharing.
-
homophobia needs confronting all the time, always. this was an interesting way to address that issue. you write with real ease and pace. thanks for sharing.
-
Thanks for sharing this. I like the way you structured it, playing with two different perspectives.

These are the things that your writing inspires me to think, hope you don't mind me commenting like this. You seem to be making amazing progress through your issues, and your writing seems to be a great help in making that journey. there are lots of people here who care about you and admire you too. it seems like you have so much to look forward to, even if it may be a slow process to get to the future you deserve - you will get there. keep writing; keep growing; keep believing in yourself.

a real surprise from you, c! a horror story, absolutely. you do a great job here in creating a very warped character and a horrific situation. a good structural device to start with the aftermath and use the policeman to guide us through the terrors. i'd say you are getting more and more skilled as you continue to challenge yourself with different ideas, genres and styles.

Wishing you and all your family all the best.

Here's wishing you a merry holiday season. You write really strongly, by the way.
