  Hi Karlasbryant,
  Thank you for your review of a letter to Michael it was a difficult one to write and I almost didnt submit it after reviewing the wealth of talent that is here on trigger street. I wanted to keep it simple yet effective. Your kind words are very inspirational to me. Thank you.
  Kind regards
  Stanley

  So much of what I see you write in your comments is something I believe about writing myself. Fresh eyes is a term I use when I have put a piece aside for a period and come back and the story is fresh again. The moments when clarity is questionable are evident because I haven't just finishes reading the story or passage for the umpteenth time over several days. When you said that in your comments on my page, it hit home.
  
  I also see you choose words in your writing for the impact. Not a cheap parlor trick, but a true writer's understanding of how the meaning and sound of the word will evoke feelings and emotions. This is the hallmark of great writing.
  
  I stand in your shadow here at TS, but am pleased to say so. You are a powerful writer, that does so with such a gentle touch. You understand story and arcs and texture of characters, and your used of our language indicates you are a surgeon who understands her tools.
  
  Thank you for your words about Julia. There are a few people here that truly impress me. People who I believe will one day be someone I point to and suggest I read her work before she arrived. So your thoughts on Julia are such an honor for me.
  
  I hope you take some of your work here and market it to magazines. I googled 50 best literary magazines looking for a home for Julia and have come up with Granta and SubTropic as possibilities. They both will accept over 6000 words. I do so encourage you to think on the idea of shopping something.
  
  Because I want to brag and name drop soon.

  Many thanks for your review of "Cold Shoulder Mornings." You are very right... the story wasn't meant to have an elaborate story arc. Just a little window into Mary's little life.
  
  Aloha,
  Pili

  Thank you for your kind review of "Failure to Communicate." I have been playing with the idea of taking it out of 'messaging' format because of a few bad notes on that front. So... its good to get an 'this works' note.
  
  Mahalo,
  Pili

  
  
  No, I thought it worked really well! If it had been a face to face conversation, so much of the suspense would be lost.

  Thanks for your time, patience and feedback for my story 'Thy Will Be Done'. Good to have a review from another genuine Sherlock fan.
  
  Also, being one of the admirers of your 'Full Circle', I had been waiting for a review from you. Finally got one! :-)
  
  Thanks again.
  
  Wilson

  Haha, no worries! The next one is an historic crime drama, no ghosts or even goblins.

  Hi, Full Circle is very well written. Was the footsteps the priest heard in the hall actually his own footsteps from when he was a child?
  I'm glad you liked my review. I really enjoyed where the story took me.

  
  
  The footsteps were those of his older sister, the girl who died, trying to get him to follow the path to uncover the story. But, I really like your idea about them having been his own footsteps as a child...a whole other angle!
