I can tell by the way you take your infusion you've spent some time in a mental institution.

Oh man, this is fantastic. The first line especially, and in general, the voice of the narrator.

Thanks a lot! Your opinion means a ton. I think it needs some serious editing, but it's good to know some of it is coming through all right.

"She tells questions." Wow.

I am very impressed overall by this story, miss Mountz. And a bit curious, as you often seem to write with male first-person narrators. It works--and wonderfully--but it is also a bit unusual. Any insights?

Thank you so much for reading it.

I never thought about that, but you bringing it up made me start thinking on it. The two first-person things I've written were both in the male perspective, but the third-person ones always have women at the center. Maybe it's because I feel more comfortable being subtle about the female psyche without thinking I'm being false, whereas with the male I have to be a little more obvious for it to come through? I dunno. That's a good point, though.

Reading your writing always makes me wish I was good at creative writing. I'm glad you are so that I get to enjoy it!

You are...well, you make me feel all blushy. Thank you, and thank you even more for reading!
