Mike, as you suspect, even partially drafted, I am hooked by Matt's novel. The world's in for a treat. Eagerly awaiting the next draft section! As and when, of course 😎
Thanks, Ruth, I can imagine the anticipation. I've just read his most recent story - so succinct and poetic, and you feel all humanity is there. Such a beautiful writer, isn't he?
Isn't it a great story! Captures a family Christmas so well. Matt is indeed a great writer (although I wouldn't want to add a swollen head to your health issues, Matt 😂).
Honestly, you two! Not sure any of this is even remotely warranted! But your comments have made my day. (Ruth, I have such impostor syndrome that I'm not sure it would be possibly to inflate my head past tangerine size even for a couple of moments, but I appreciate the temporary boost!)
And I should add that you are also both incredible writers, the sort of writers where it makes me incredibly happy whenever I get to read new work. Also, wonderful human beings!!
Oh, Ruth. You are far too kind. (And you will hate me because I've decided to recalibrate the beginning before I move on, so I'm back to chapter 5 😬 You'll have forgotten what happens before I actually get to supplying you with a new chapter I'm sure 🧐)
