Ginny, you have a distinctive voice in your writing and you narrate your tale with ease. It isn't until the end when you pull it all together by having the Powers-That-Be interrogate, "Didn’t you listen to the moral at the end of the story?"
You write with sprezzatura, a studied carelessness that is captivating - it's reminiscent of Maeve Binchy, but I've said similar things to you before. I guess I just want you to know how good you are, and some day when your children are raised and you have a bit more time, I hope you pursue this talent and turn it into an art.
Thank you so much - it means a lot coming from an excellent writer.
I do hope to do more when the kids are older. I am proud to be pushing my limits to do a little bit now :)
