Awww, I feel like a pompous prick for giving anything to you in commment but praise - and yet, as a writer/friend, I know too well that criticism is merely discussion as our approaches and solutions are various and will gain accuracy in their study. Thus, we be better writers true.
I was going along with thoughts on your ovices and then the last bit from the vacuous or seemingly illiterate writer friend, a definition which both lampoons its simplistic subject, yet floor me with its poetic beauty and the natural flow of its metaphor - the ant tunnels.
You are fascinating, SnowQueen. Truly. For you seed every work with the blunt and sensual breathe of your own taught bosom.
I'm enthralled and ever-await your next dance with your friend - the Pen!
Thanks yombo! Feel free to critique anything you want, that's what makes writers better.
