Oh, this is awesome, Celia! More of that wonderful world-building and intriguing imagination at play here. How did you get the narration done? It really worked well! Enjoyed it a lot and love when you just let your mind wander and conjure up these beautiful tales. So often with strong female leads. Impressive!

bahaha. Hands down some of the most fun I’ve had writing in a while. I am not going to say whether it’s honest or not…that’s not the point lol. I think I was thinking too much about success, ambition and how artists of all kinds are supposed to be “Oh I don’t want the fame and legacy” and it made me think “Why?” That’s probably the most honest…[Read more]

Was good getting to know him and his attitude to life and to you and your family. This is also written superbly. Was very easy to read and yeah, now I can’t see properly. Thanks, River! 🙂

Oh you’re absolutely welcome, it was kinda a bitter joy to read.

That’s the thing I believe a lot of people get wrong about anger…it gets wrongly described as a negative emotion…when all emotions are valid responses…in their place. But I think you are definitely right there…how can anyone have such a strong opinion about something without knowing them or it? That’s why I find racial hate so messed up…[Read more]
