This is great. I feel like I've learned a lot about the character, and the situation is set up. Definitely makes me want to know what's coming next. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Denise!!

Haha—that $36 meter scene is, I fear, lifted from real life. Adjusting to life after lockdown AND life after 60 certainly keeps me busy. ❤️

SPIKE! This is so so so so so so so so so good! I took a class with Courtney Maum last week on opening pages, and she talked about how few people establish talk about money in novels, which is kind of the ruler of our lives here in old Late Capitalism. And I love Mr. Lint Roller :) I CANNOT WAIT TO READ THE WHOLE THING!

Wow. Okay that is HIGH praise, coming from you. Thank you so much. For all of the encouragement I offer to other writers, it still feels really weird and a little nerve wracking to share this. I’m pretty okay with sharing my nonfiction—I’ve done that forever. But this feels different. So grateful you read it! ❤️
