It's feedback like yours that makes trying to publish stories (and coping with rejections) worthwhile (the writing itself is its own reward, of course).Hamilton Waymirehttp://www.hamiltonwaymire.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591679994751212734.post-44952869109968208782010-10-25T23:22:53.783+13:002010-10-25T23:22:53.783+13:00An excellent, well-crafted story.An excellent, well-crafted story.Earl Staggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13349667172813175960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591679994751212734.post-38027197931617161422010-10-23T06:19:55.998+13:002010-10-23T06:19:55.998+13:00Never read flash fiction until today, read And Her...Never read flash fiction until today, read And Here's to you, Mrs. Edwardson, nice piece of work SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591679994751212734.post-36335212869711753262010-10-22T05:01:35.324+13:002010-10-22T05:01:35.324+13:00Hi Craig, and thanks for the shout-out!
