I thought the first part hard, but nothing to the wastes before me now. The nuances must be right, the characters believable, and the plot logical. Without your support I would have given up long ago. The tiny bits of encouragement, “oh, great phrase,” can spur a chapter of rewrite through the “I want a tone of voice here’ and “this needs more!”

I know you stint your own writing to give me feedback more quickly, and this touches me more than I can say, because all my words are focused on my goal. And the volcano looms near now.
