I really struggled with the ending. Was it too cliched for you? (seriously, I can work on it until Sat. so input is very helpful)

I think your fiction is more ... real. I really would rather write like you. I write a lot of little fairytale type things. There isn't really a market for these little fluffy things.

It's a little predictable, but given the style of the tale, I don't think a happy ending is unjustified. I'll have to think on it some more. I had to read it sort of quickly b/c I was making dinner, and I should like to go through it a second time.

The whimsy of this was enchanting. I was delighted by first the glimpse of magic, and then the truth behind the creativity. Well done, a story to be very proud of, indeed.

This is really, really awesome! I love the idea of this, and how you've made words something you can hold.

I really liked how you described Penny's mother being in her "dream world of memories", it's very vivid. And the words building a wall too!

And I hope you get less stressed! *hugs*
