So many threads you weave into a CJ and Owen tapestry. I really love the idea of the sailing trip, and further identify with Allan. Hanging out with CJ, Owen, and the others could be seriously intimidating. Ethan ragging on CJ was priceless. You delivered Thiago’s news with just the right amount of missing detail and circumstance. My hat is off to you! Great chapter!

I will not send you cautious hugs, but an embrace of hope and support.

Lucas saved Woody by thinking smart. But will it stop Dewberry? He must know that he now has too many students who understand his strategy, and his predation. That makes Dewberry dangerous. The tragedy in this story is that there is real danger for accusers like Luke and Woody, but the far greater danger is to those kids like them in this world, who become victims of men like this. It’s horrible that this happens much too often.

Chapter 12 - Anger and Change
Parker Owens commented on albertnothlit's story chapter in Chapter 12 - Anger and Change
I read this and understand your anger with yourself, and your thoughts about whether you’re moving forward or not. What inspires me in this chapter is your will to accept the small victories, to consciously search for and try what works. Thank you for sharing your story. It means more to me than you might know. -
Okay. They fought, they made up, and we can all breathe again. Best plan: tell Aiden. Then introduce him to Jenn. Then Aiden will have to play nice, or she’ll kill him. Simple, no? Great chapter.

Yup, that sounds right!

Authors, how do you reply to comments by readers?
Parker Owens replied to Aceinthehole's topic in The Lounge
I reply to comments individually. It’s really great when someone brings up an interesting angle or thought I never considered. I agree with others in that if someone took the time to comment on a chapter or poem, they ought to hear from me in the same way. Like @Mikiesboy and @Headstall, I reply to comments that are old because I missed them one way or another. I offer an apology, and then reply.- 42 replies

Like Reader, I hate what happened to you. It makes me want to rage and weep. You write about it too well.
-
Thank you, Carlos for AAA. I really enjoyed reading the responses of other poets in this installment! I found@Dolores Esteban’s description of experimental poetry really interesting. And I wish @AC Benus had been in my high school English class.

You’re very, very welcome. Several moments have been rattling about in my head, but never coalesced into a story until quite recently. Thank very much for reading this, and I’m delighted you liked it.
-
I feel I am behind wonderfully set up. So much information to take in and absorb, details that will be important later, and so on. I’m enjoying getting deeper in as you lead us on.
-
What a lovely story. I should have been so lucky as to have met either Lewis or Stephen when I was twenty something. Thank you for this snapshot.
-
Love all the north country adventures you take us on... all except the last one. You left us hanging, as if from parachute cords! Next chapter soon? Like in three minutes?

Eleven O’clock and After
Parker Owens commented on Drew Payne's story chapter in Eleven O’clock and After
A very interesting snapshot of a man who’s about to find the change he wants in life. Great story. -
Go try talking with your brother, Woody. Then tackle Mom, and tell her everything. And beware Mr. Dewberry!
-
The holiday tightrope is almost over, and you tantalize us with incomplete information on Jordan’s situation. And what is up with Aiden and not living together? Not again. Come on, boys, time to find your courage together.
-
Some say the stars are cold and indifferent; you demonstrate otherwise in this poem. For you, they hold a deep and abiding love that rivals anything mere science can quantify. Beautifully done.

Where Do You Fall on the Grammar-Stickler Scale?
Parker Owens replied to Valkyrie's topic in The Lounge
I weighed in at nine (9). I prefer principled to unbending, just to put it out there. -
This is indeed exquisite. No corpse is this, for the two of you surely bring these words to life! Wonderfully done.
-
The future painted in this story is indeed a dark one. We can only hope that, like so many dark paintings, it is not a harbinger, but a warning. The story of Alan Turing is a tragic one, and heartbreaking. His biography rests on my shelf. Thank you for reading this, and for your kind comments.
-
Thank you. I really appreciate your comments, and your taking time to read this story. Loy found a way to fight and defeat the Authority, and remain with Kee. I suppose the changes they may have wrought in the multiverse bear thinking about, but that will need a whole different story.
-
Oh, Woody. Whatever has happened? There isn’t any easy escape now... just face the music, and hope to come out of it with something of yourself left.
-
What you describe is so beautiful and vivid. Thank you for giving us this moment in your life.
-
You are very kind to read this and to comment; A and Z remain in the back of my brain.

That’s a wonderful Christmas story. Beautiful in every respect. Thank you.
