I sometimes wonder if the imagery is over the top. <br /><br />Dear Doc, you're too sweet, but this comment made my day.

The pictures and images fly by in a hard-hitting, rapid succesion and it never lets up even at the end. You truly have the kind of talent that most writers work and sweat for years to achieve, but the amazing thing is that YOU PULLED THIS OUT OF YOUR HAT ON YOUR MORNING COFFEE BREAK!!!<br /><br />You are an amazing writer and I promise to keep kicking you in the ass to write more, and more often, as the world should not be denied your brilliance. Every piece you pen reminds me how much I love you and your super sexy brain!<br /><br />DocDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16979621370660001312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11315807.post-35303709080724105362010-06-17T17:35:28.886-04:002010-06-17T17:35:28.886-04:00Beautifully written, Flannery.

He's on a lot of pain medicine and hasn't been writing. And this story is fiction, though it was a bit inspired by him. :-) <br /><br />He's been trying to write but I think he's having a block. I'll tell him to get crackin'.Jenny Jenny Flanneryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621715431584059448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11315807.post-57287203546502743722010-06-15T14:20:42.014-04:002010-06-15T14:20:42.014-04:00A very well written story, Flannery.
