Laughed wildly at this. It's absolute truth and your characters are all so real on the page.  Never give your ideas away and erm, polite cough-cough, never knock Virginia Woolf. (She's a babe)

Fleshly is fab! This is very resonating - something you don't like to mull over because it grows in stature and it's composed as starkly as industry is.
