You know my relationship with food, of course. I wish I could enjoy it the way you do and still look like you! That doesn't keep me from enjoying it, though.<br /><br />Thank you re: my writing. I'm beginning to enjoy writing fiction.Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-55000963632897115102011-03-16T11:57:56.776-07:002011-03-16T11:57:56.776-07:00People who have no memories/interest in food frigh...People who have no memories/interest in food frighten me. It's like, not caring about air. But worse. Because at least from food you get some emotional and physical enjoyment. Food is amazing. I can't stand that he hasn't had a taco or lasagne. <br />My husband and I will sit and have conversations about memories of our favorite meals together. I would run screaming down the street if he didn't share this interest. <br />I'm having a strong reaction to a fictional character, which can only mean one thing: the author has described him incredibly well. :-)MoreCakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07997966214729747678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-1721238054124957312011-03-15T18:29:36.683-07:002011-03-15T18:29:36.683-07:00@ Kirk ~ Very good comments and observations, than...@ Kirk ~ Very good comments and observations, thank you. Yes, it is a continuation. If there are no illustrations and the title begins with "Let's", it's the continuing story of . . . <br /><br />I'll be straight with you - there isn't a lot I could tell you right now to spoil future installments. The story isn't complete. It's developING, not developED.<br /><br />Just a couple of early(est) thoughts from me: it's told from her point of view because he wouldn't have one. No story would exist if we waited for him. And I think she COULD get out of it, but the point is that she DOESN'T get out of these less-than-good things.Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-56193302318942642242011-03-15T16:30:12.600-07:002011-03-15T16:30:12.600-07:00Hard for me to comment until I know how it all tur...Hard for me to comment until I know how it all turns out. Just a few observations.<br /><br />Though the story (which I assume is a continuation of your two earlier forays into fiction) is written in the third person, it thus far is soley from the point of view of "she". I wonder just how reliable that point of view is. DON'T TELL ME! I want to be suprised.<br /><br />I'll say this for people who go through life with "blinders" on, they're not likely to be the manipulative sort. This seems like the type of relationship she could easily back out of. Unless there's something you're not telling us. DON'T TELL ME NOW!<br /><br />People think she's a bitch, yet she seems to feel her self-esteem is constantly in peril. Could the former be the result of the latter? DON'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION!<br /><br />Obviously, what you've written has got me thinking. If my observations are completely off-base, DON'T TELL ME! My self-esteem may be even more fragile than hers.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-80958242900067041212011-03-15T12:07:47.809-07:002011-03-15T12:07:47.809-07:00@ Rory - Wow.
