Libby

oh jess, you are so kind and lovely… thank you, this made me smile.

oh honey… any beat your heart skips, i feel in mine… thank you for reading you lovely lady xx

That dark, tragic side that everyone secretes irrespective of their demeanour or appearance

bek, i’ve gotta tell you, i loved the insight you had into this piece… for it was a dynamic to the work that i was not consciously aware of when i wrote this. the reference to the blackbirds, the darkness in the sky that scatters, the feathers… were all linked to libby’s love of birds fair or otherwise… but this scope you had into the work is so interesting and i’ve thought about it so much… thank you with all my heart. and thank you for being so incredibly lovely and supportive of my work. it means the world to me.

thank you thank you thank you sandra… i’m all giddy and silly with pleasure that you loved this so much… and the bliss of knowing that words i’ve strung together sung to you and got you… well, it’s just the cat’s pyjamas really. thank you so much.

margaret, i thank you with all my heart… thank you for reading.

bradley, thank you so much… that’s an enormous call, but anytime you feel like comparing my writing to nabokov, i’m not going to refuse :) thank you for reading my work.

beautiful jane, thank you so much. you have no idea the pleasure it brings me to know my words travel to where you are and bring you the scent of ripe and luscious worlds… your response to my work is so supportive and encouraging, i thank you wholeheartedly.

oh so lovely… those dreams mimi that my words and your art seem to embark us each on… i’m heading over to your girl of spring now… thank you so much for reading my work and leaving such incredibly warm and kinds words behind.

peej, my love… you well and truly took my heart away with this response of yours. i am completely humbled by you and your comments – this one especially so. you are so kind and you motivate and inspire me to keep my ink pot full and my pen at the ready. it will never fail to amaze me that what flows from my fingers, you feel in your heart. thank you, you beautiful poetic lovely fabulous thing.

mardra, i was seventeen when i went to my first pearl jam concert. it had a profound impact on me (besides blowing my appreciation for their music into an obsession) because of the sheer volume of people who were there just like me, singing along with every word. not long after that, i wrote a list of the most amazing experiences i imagined i’d like to experience – one being a song writer standing on stage in front of a 50,000 crowd with their guitar and strumming enough chords to elicit screams from the masses who burst into song and start singing words they’d written. it blew me away – the idea of hearing so many voices sing words back to you that came from a late night at the kitchen table or waiting for the bus. in a few of the lovely comments you’ve left on my work, you’ve told me that you’ve read my writing out loud. and the idea of that… well, thanks for making me realise a wished-for experience.

oh darling, libby certainly is glorious… i’m just the translator really, i’ve only turned what she is into words… and she definitely is sublime.

this is such beautiful feedback leece, you are elemental in me finding my own green and grace as i write and write and write. thank you lovely lady xxx

thank you so much o’malley! that’s awfully kind of you to say… my cheeks go all rosy and shiny to know you feel my work as you do.

overwhelmingly beautiful... as is your spirit and encouragement lianne. thank you for using what precious spare time you’ve had lately to give me feedback on my work. you have had such an enormous effect on my growth and development in my writing journey over the last year – you humble me completely. thank you.

well, isn’t this just the ant’s pants brad. thank you, thank you for finding my words refreshing and alive… can a writer ask for more? well, i know i can’t. i very much value your response to my work… thanks for reading twice and letting my work paint words in the canvas of your mind :)

david, hi :) thanks for taking a peek and checking out my work. i’m delighted you enjoy it.

oh you… so kind and lovely are you jane. thank you so much… xx

nixie nixie so beautiful and lovely… i wish i could dive into this box and be back by your side, holding your hand. i can’t wait ‘til i can do that again and get more time with you next time… you beautiful delicious intoxicating woman, you xxx

goodness me linda. i think you’ve rendered the writer word-less. thank you for this moment, this realisation of my words. truly. thank you for finding my work and reading… please stay and explore for as long as you like xx

well said – i completely understand what you mean. and i thank you all the same. perhaps what i should have said was ‘associate’... if you ‘associate’ my work with nabokov’s. either way, i’m glad you found my writing in this piece standing on its own, thanks bradley :)

oh sweetheart, you’ve hit all the nails on all their heads! absolutely… she is the person you could be with even when you want to turn your back on the human race :) i’m so glad you enjoyed the read… thank you for your kind and eloquent words xx

thanks so much rex… it’s thoroughly delightful to know the enchantment was palpable for you and that you found these little words beautiful and inspiring. that’s just like chocolate for my muse :) thanks for reading.

hey shoaib, thanks so much!

ms3! this is such a late reply… but i wanted you to know… if my words reminded you in any way of the sublime joni mitchell, little green nonetheless… well, it leaves me beaming and warm. thanks so much.
