Quite clever and engaging. People who don't write or particularly value literature find it difficult to grasp how appreciative writers are when shairing or receiving meaningful feedback. Your stream of consciousness, metaphoric approach comes through loud and clear.

One thing I forgot to mention: I particularly like your storytelling approach. It reminds me of the Russian writers - Chekhov and Turgenev come to mind. They entertain the reader without academic pretense while saying something of intrinsic worth with a smidgen of gravitas thrown in for good measure. Please excuse my mental meanderings but I like to give credit where credit most definitely belongs.

My dad is my alpha reader, if I've got that phrase right. He is the first to read and critique my stories, and it is so good to have someone to sit and talk about my stories with. Thanks as always for your comments, Barry. Really appreciated.
