I was frankly amazed at the quality of this writing. I knew you were good, of course, but I was impressed at this effort. I almost never say this (in fact I think this is the first time) but I really do believe this character is interesting enough to be novel length. <br />Something to think about.<br />Well, well, done.Cathy Olliffe-Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729578896443750402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956770704733555345.post-25933298655297612392010-02-26T11:27:35.782-08:002010-02-26T11:27:35.782-08:00Fantastic and a very clever idea.Fantastic and a very clever idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956770704733555345.post-40072393693992756242010-02-26T10:20:14.331-08:002010-02-26T10:20:14.331-08:00Almost didn't read this piece because I was me...Almost didn't read this piece because I was mesmerized by staring at your zen fish garden.

Here she is defined by neighbors who prefer the fiction they make up about her, rather than the fact of who she is.<br /><br />And she's no crazy cat lady without the cats!<br /><br />Nice description throughout.<br /><br />Wonderful surprise at end.Marisa Birnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945909737147497606noreply@blogger.com
