Red Candy

oh you sweet little thing. i heart your imagination right back nat. a story spinner – golly, i love that. thank you so much xxx

there’s nothing better for a writer (well, this one anyway) than learning that the pictures in their minds transferred to their reader’s through words… thank you so much for reading kala, i always appreciate your warm and supportive comments so much. hollyhocks ;) xxx

no my love, you are just brilliantly dreamy… and so lovely. you know nix, the ripple of absolute glee i get running up my spine when you respond to my work has not dimmed one watt since the first time you commented on my writing. and as always, beautiful girl, i thank you so much for cupping my words in your hands and feeling them exactly the way i meant you to x

goodness me karensue, you could just about bring me to my knees, you humble me so with your response. i wrote this while i was at home sick with the flu because the damn little glistening candies wouldn’t leave me alone… they wanted to be penned, right or wrong… and my conscience wouldn’t hear a word of me not contributing to our graphic scratch challenges. so i very much appreciate this warm and wonderful comment of yours. so much. thank you xx

thanks so much seeker… i’m so glad you did. i called a girlfriend before i posted it and griped about this crap piece i’d just written and could she read it before i posted it because i was afraid in my fluey drugged state it was just awful. about ten minutes later she set me straight in a few (colourful) words and the response to candy today has been like chicken soup for the soul. (sorry, couldn’t resist.) so all in all, i thank you for reading and enjoying my work.

i love, love, love how much you feel my work. it is always the sweetest treat for my muse jane, when i post something and you respond – to know that you feel my work and wrap yourself up in my words is more than i could ask for. so thank you. thank you darling heart you, i curtsey deeply at your warm and kind words. xxx

ahhh, mistress, i’m so glad the little tendrils in this wrapped you up and didn’t let you go. an amazing read... that is just the best thing to hear. it makes me grin… in that kind of embarrassing way where you look like you’ve gone past the point of joy and there’s possibly something wrong with you. but no, i’m just really gleeful at your response. so thank you, lady.

hey matt! thank you so very very much. although it was a disjointed write between the haze of antibiotics and kleenex, the whole thing in my head was the most exquisite creation indeed, vibrant paint, magick over and over again… so i am ridiculously happy that my muse managed to pull through and my words translated the story in my mind adequately. thank you warmly for reading my work.

now you, lovely boy, are just the ants pants. every time your little avatar pops up or i read a comment from you, i strangely enough hear a grandmother’s voice saying, ‘why cassidy do you think that is?’ and i love, all over again, that characterisation in your work. it is enormously rewarding for me to know that you find the paint and canvas and pictures in my words. and thank you, always, for reading.

thanks so much for reading dave… i always relish knowing people’s ‘favourite parts’... whenever i give someone a piece of my work to read, i follow it up with my notebook and pen on board with that one question – what was your favourite bit? so i thank you for giving me yours… i do love that line too.

oh honey. after i gather my jaw off the ground and put myself back together from the humble heap i fell into after this comment, i’ll be able to tell you the range and scope and depth of the encouragement and motivation and confidence your support and feedback on my words give me.
until then, just know i’m all jibberish and blobby… and so bloody grateful for these responses of yours.

yay! if nothing else, that is the best thing i’ve done all day. thank you so much steve, that’s such a lovely way to respond to my words.

little raspberry girl with the beautiful eye makeup (i read your fiction journal piece – you might wear the same every day but i love it) it delights me no end that you enjoy my writing so… and ever time you comment it is completely wonderful for me to receive. so thank you for reading bek and always leaving such kind and warm words behind.

oh beautiful woman. thank you. i always love finding the little bits you love the most and it’s funny because i loved writing that line; describing blood instead of naming it. and geez honey, your red coconut girl? absolutely! it makes me silly with glee that you love this. thank you. x

fog… i’m going to hope this is a compliment? so uh, thanks. i will endeavour to deliver words for you to rub in your eyeballs in the future.

linda, bloody hell, you floor me with your comments on my work. floor me. as in take away my breath and leave me pretty much levitating, marvelling with wonder that it’s my words you’re responding to. can two little words carry the weight and volume i need them to? please feel them linda because thank you canvasses how much your encouragement and support means to me. thank you.

thank you so much k… you couldn’t make my words feel more special i don’t think… intoxicating and beautiful... how warm and kind of you to respond this way. i appreciate it so much, thank you for reading.

i have those dreams often dwayne and stumble around the day after trying to ply reality from make believe… this is such a lovely comment. thank you for reading my work.

oh thanks so much mr daze. that’s so lovely of you to say – and i’m thrilled you enjoyed the read.

minnow… goodness… thank you for letting her find her way there. spell-binding... that makes me positively beam. thank you so much.
