It’s great … REALLY!

So, how’s the book going? 

Okay, yep, it’s going well.

That’s great.

Well, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration.

Yeah?

Heck, no, it’s an out-and-out lie.

Really?

It’s not great – not in the slightest. There’s nothing great about it.

Aww, what’s up? 

Too many inconsistencies, says she with the red pen.   It adds depth … and mystery, say I.

Too much exposition, she says.   It’s Story-TELLING, I say.

Too slow for a thriller, she adds.  Well, I can agree on that point.

There you go. A silver lining.

Yeah, because it’s not meant to be a thriller – so why does she think it is one?

Ah! Point taken.

It’s only one opinion anyway.

Exactly!

No-one that matters, really.  Not any more.

Hmm, are you sure?

Yes, I am.

Well, okay then. 

I’m plodding on regardless.

Good for you.

She knows nothing.

So, it’s going great, then?

Absolutely!

 

Such is life!

Thanks for reading 🙂
