You're too kind, sweetie. Which is probably good, cuz those boys could use some kindness.
Thinkyfic,huh? You're right. Y'know, my I once sent my grandma something I wrote, and she's usually like my biggest fan, but this time I sent her something that was totally off the wall and abstract. I was really proud of it, first time I felt like a real writer and not just a regurgitator of plot, ya know? And I guess she missed the part where I wrote it, because we often sent each other writing from other people, too, and she commented that she just HATED stories that made you work to figure out what the hell was going on. LOL.
It's funny, because there was a time, like when I was in school, when I really couldn't understand why writers did that. I mean, surely it would be easier to just say it straight out, right, rather than employ generations of high school English teachers to put it in perspective. LOL.
But now... I guess I shouldn't be surprised not everyone like that. I know I don't always like to read it myself.
Anyway, how did your living arrangements turn out, sweetie? All settled?
