Goodbye

Loved this! Congratulations

Posted on Fri, 16 May 2025

Loved this! Congratulations on getting Pick of the Day--well-deserved.

So sad, so true. I enjoyed your play on words here as well, and the images were so immersive! It really helped draw me in to this very real issue, to recognize not only your stand on it but the beauty in what was lost to plastic and the like. I'm...

Epic fantasy? I love fantasy.

Prologues, though, are more than not a waste. Whatever is in the prologue is likely able to be weaved into the chapters or omitted. I would recommend--as many authors, editors and agents do--that you jump...

Beautiful, Stuart :)
