Wonderful writing, Julie. Really like the temple of lost objects. What a conception. Very imaginative writing. Lovely description. Very much there. And curious to know what happens next. You have a delightful mix of mystery and descriptiveness that pulls the reader forward.

Wonderful writing, Jody. I love this piece. Haunting and real with the smells that are so real and present. Really flows. compelling to the reader. Want to know what is happening. I put notes in the writing itself. Let me know if the file does not open.

yes, E. M. Forester’s A Passage to India. Exactly what I thought, too, Jodie!

This is a wonderful piece of writing, Julie. Very well-written. I love the beautiful descriptions, the evoking of place you do so well, the constant play on being lost in the temple. You feel a connection with the character, the way she thinks, the way she moves through the world. I really like her. I cannot wait to hear what happens next! Keep on going!

This is wonderful, Jody. I love the way you describe your neighbors, very clear and provocative. I want to hear more, though you say you are not going to say any more, just yet. You make us want more, though! Interesting reflections on class diversity, a topic that is not often spoken about. I am curious, do they have children? What are they like? Do you they come to these parties? Or are they only adults? How old are they? What kind of scene do they create? Keep on going, Jody. You are onto something special!
