Absolutely fantastically written response. The English teacher in me is giving you an A+.
Off to let my chickens out of the coop. I will tell them this advice to guide their day. One does think she's a rock star, so it's appropriate timing. Always good to knock a bird off her high perch with a wise avian idiom.
The spookiness is palpable!
Elsewhere, I was just saying to Melinda that I enjoyed writing this so much I am going to try my hand at a children's story. This has long been something I wanted to attempt, however I have always been terrified of my appalling grasp of punctuation but the actual creation of the narrative was deliciously satisfying.
I am now of the mind, 'what's the worst that could happen?' ((apparently I could also be on course for an A+!!!)) :D
I am wondering if the chicken is also named Henrietta? Hmm... D- for that, I accept it without question, hesitation or protest. Thankyou so much for that feedback, it gave a tangible boost to this poor, self-conscious British-dude!
The other spooky aspect is that as you were writing this comment I was writing one on your awesome recipe post, with the amazing
blackpurple kale. :DSpoooky, hahha! Have you encountered @vincentnijman? He's writing a children's story too. I think you'd be amazing at it. Find an illustrator here on hive and you're good to go!
