Near Upper Kinsham

I liked this too, though I
Posted on Wed, 21 Oct 2015
I liked this too, though I also thought you might think of a stronger climax line. The last but one seems to balance the third - disjointedness and then your world coming together, presumably a sense of things making sense, fitting together,...

Not easy to show friendship
Posted on Wed, 14 Oct 2015
Not easy to show friendship when someone is wanting to withdraw to private memories, but to show affection, and will be there when conversation wanted? Rhiannon

You seem to have captured
Posted on Mon, 12 Oct 2015
You seem to have captured something of that strange feeling of convalesence (salt on the arm!), when the mind (and body) is not working quite normally yet (slight temperature still, perhaps), and trying to come to terms with life again. The sight...

It does seem to have the feel
Posted on Sat, 26 Sep 2015
It does seem to have the feel of the girl who's been so sick and a bit nightmarey with fever, and feeling the oddness of convalescence and everything feeling distorted, and also the feel of a little girl wanting to be a bit removed from...
