While it might seem that the action is rather slow, I am finding it so very close to what I've witnessed while on jury duty and seeing a real trial vs. a tv trial. Good job!
-
Another delightful Friday due to being able to start the day with a great chapter!! I am learning a lot about the Air Force via your research!
-
A story with a few twists and told in a very interesting style of going from one character to another, telling things from their point of view, until it comes to a beautiful ending.

This was an interesting style, but effective. The story was compelling. Initially, I felt like it was too predictable, but it kept me looking forward to each installment to see how you were going to bring it together. All in all, great job. Now on to your next contribution. I certainly admire your talent!

I don't know where you got the "listen to the perfect" phrase, but it is inspired! It also can also be applied to the visual: see the true person and not the flaws: therein lies true and lasting beauty. That is who Gus sees when he looks at Rick...the challenge for Rick will be to see himself through Gus' eyes - that is what is going to give him the confidence to finally stand on his own and be himself. You are definitely a master with words I, too, look forward to each movement in this symphony!

Ok...now you've added another element of intrigue!

Wow! Just simply wow!

I knew that was coming. Now we have to see what's next in the Robbie drama! Great chapter!

Another One of Those Family Photographs
pvtguy commented on Drew Payne's story chapter in Another One of Those Family Photographs
There are many Christian denominations that are accepting and encouraging of LGBTQ+ individuals - I can only speak of what I am familiar with in the United States - but three denominations come quickly to mind: The Episcopal Church, The United Church of Christ, and the Methodist Church (though there is a division coming in that denomination between those that are accepting and those who are not). There are active clergy and laity who are "family" who are strong role models of Christian values based in love and not fear and condemnation. -

Don't be ashamed of yourself! Rather, be thankful that you confronted those issues and grew from them. Your understanding of them helps make you a much better writer! It takes those moments of challenge which leads to growth if one reflects upon them and sees that there are alternative ways of viewing life which are based not on fear, but on more positive values - like love, compassion, knowledge that life is not always black and white! -
Sometimes it is good to read about how both sides live - and struggle - with real world problems and their effect on relationships. It can give hope to those struggling presently and perhaps educate them on how they could deal with given problems, be they financial or relationship. Just my opinion...
-
Ah...a HEA with, apparently, no one struggling financially ever! I truly enjoyed the story.

There needs to be a sequel to this story...please!! -
Mind a second chapter so soon? Never!!! A chapter a day would be wonderful! Seriously, it was a great way to start Sunday morning! Now on to the next one! Thanks for the gift, Carlos!

May the love that surrounds you from those you know and those who only know you through your writing be a source of comfort and solace as you face the challenges of your immediate future. None of us knows or is guaranteed any number of days. Our "job" is to leave the world around us in a better condition than we found it. You do so through your writing as one means, and I am sure you have affected and do affect many others daily knowingly or unknowingly. Be strong, be at peace, be thankful for all blessings daily, and trust in love to carry you through the journey - and may it be for years to come!

Good questioning and answering to this point. May the next chapter come soon so that we can see how it develops.

Positive thoughts go out to you and your son or a successful surgery. As a single parent of a son, I have had to go through that several times and I know the stress! Tony F

I like the mix of people and the camaraderie. Wonderful work, Carlos!

And now we might see just how dangerous Michael is...

Music verified Gus' identity but did much more: it brought about healing of pain for others if not a respite from it. Music allowed Gus to escape from the pain of his childhood but is the vehicle which has brought him to this point in his life: he's found Home! Now, it is time for music to release Rick's demons. Brilliantly written!
-
Of course, that is the normal response he would have had. She had no proof to set the stage - just her word. From his perspective, she is desperate to get Michael back and she knows this. You're slowly peeling the onion!

Will Cole believe Emma? The mystery grows!
-
The plot has definitely thickened!

What a great picture you have painted of the job of parenthood: allowing a child to grow through both successes and failures to be able to stand on their own. Yet, when the child leaves to become the responsible adult, the parent still worries while enjoying and appreciating the growth of the young adult. Greg has shown this with Mason and now Lee. His paternal skills and the depth of his love is truly admirable. It is so difficult as a parent to see one's child grow up, and yet they must! Otherwise, you are truly a failure as a parent. I love your writing. Your skills are sharpening with each story and I love them all. May the next one come soon - but after you've recharged! Tony F

Good interrogation so far...not sure just where she's going, though she's doing her best to show him to be less than truthful in his description of his state of inebriation. I'm eager to see how this unfolds.
