in search of elegance

[precis_of]

so I've just been spending four hours trying to wrangle a piece of fiction into being elegant to read. possibly almost there, as long as we speak in whispers and don't make any sudden moves. but i need a moment of escape, and so have come to write completely different things.

The other night I finished readingThe Secret Garden, which I hadn't read

i want a 'like' button. is that silly? or lazy? i'm not sure. whatever. reading this, that was my reaction. A simple. I like this, I like that you finished the secret garden and that it was the right kind of sweetness and I liked that you are able to negotiate with yourself. I also like the way you write this and the tone of it. I like the feeling that i'm left with, a simple 'likeing' of the whole piece, of everything that you've just written taken as a whole.
