I knew I was in for a treat as soon as I read this line:
She'd suddenly gone daft
What a ride. Too, too clever. I could even see bits of me in the poor, daft lady. Who doesn't try to hold on?
The beauty of this is, there is no evidence of your struggle to accommodate the form. This flows seamlessly and logically, and humor throughout.
Bravo! You get an Oscar for this one.
Well I sure am glad you like it. I loved yours - it set a pretty high bar! I don't think anyone who hasn't tried to do this could possibly understand how hard it is, or how valuable an exercise it is.
I was also impressed. My god! I love that so many of you really good writers have decided to overlook my editing skills and join in. You gals have made my day better by letting me read your fine work.
Isn't it wonderful to start something new? It's another act of creation, one from which we all benefit.
Well you know you're good when a fellow writer both admires your work and feels a tinge of regret at not being able to craft such a piece. I could never be so clever.
