Comments That Make Your Day

I ahd a nice comment come through feedback (anonymously) a few days ago. It was nice to see love for an old story. Short and sweet on The Important Days:



At least I think it's positive. I can read that "Well done" with a sarcastic voice too, but I'll stick with the positive.
You've stained too many exam papers with your examiner's tears in your time, clearly. 'This made me cry. F-'

I do have a policy that students can get a bonus point by making me laugh when I'm grading it. It really does kill the tedium, which is more a factor in making me cry while grading. Reading the seventeenth consecutive mediocre answer can bring tears to your eyes.

Very recently, a colleague dismissed a mediocre draft of a speech as being AI-generated slop and completely rewrote it, only to discover by the upset caused that indeed it had been written by a human who had thought that she'd done a very good job. You just can't win sometimes...

These certainly made my day. But I submitted an edit to the story they are on. I intended to only fix a few typos and change the title, but ended up adding 1,500 more words of sex because I just wanted to.

It's a stroker and nothing but a stroker. Still, I'm hoping the edit goes through before March. I thought I could deal with the mistakes because I knew I was struggling to finish anything, I was wrong. They've been eating at me. I know my work will never be perfect, but the mistakes were careless oversights due to struggling to accomplish anything the last couple of months.

But I like the story and felt it deserved better representation than I initially gave it because I was in a rush to just "finish something". The fix is significantly better quality, though I'm sure I've overlooked a few typos. I always do.
 
When I read this again, and I will, maybe tomorrow! I will note the dates of each chapter so I can have more clarity of timeline. My confusion is not your problem, I'm just soft-headed.

Your story is wonderful, I hope more people read it. At the end, I cared deeply about all of these characters. Imperfect, complicated characters are the stuff of good writing.

Small detail: I deeply appreciate all of the Fleetwood Mac references, from the Peter Green days to more modern stuff. When I was sure what you were doing, I honestly wondered, will he include "Black Magic Woman?"

Thank you for all of it. Now, on to your epilogue . . .

This quote has made my year!!!!!

Thank you so much!!!!!

I’m so delighted. No one since Peta/Sam was published has picked up on the fleetwood mac references - I’m so pleased someone FINALLY joined the dots on it. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you!!! You know who you are - thanks for reading my novel. Appreciate you.
 
Just got this one from Anony, via email.
Ok the first week was a break. The next week was a little anxious. Now I’m experiencing Publius withdrawal. LOL. Hope you are enjoying your well deserved break.
When I am releasing material, I try to do chapters every Monday, thus this poor guy’s (gal’s?) complaint. I have been in a dry spell after Tiki Totem Hotel finished up, but this comment is much needed water on the garden of my creativity...

Excellent and insightful! Really well done. You said more about the human condition in 750 words than most here who use 15K words!

Nicely done! It goes into my 750 word story HOF.

To any writer not submitting to yhe 750 WORD PROJECT:

C'mon in! The water's fine!

If I may self-deprecate, this is a story about a logophile, but I accidently use a word incorrectly!

I create a word from two Latin words "ex" -- apart from, and "cor" -- heart. My word was "ecorated". I figured, given the context, most (many) readers could derive the meaning.
Unfortunately autocorrect changed it to "excoriate", which makes no sense in the story. Mea culpa! Hubris strikes!
