Hey there. Thank you for responding to my review and letting us all know how you are, and I wish you were doing better with no jaw issue or need for wisdom teeth removal 😭. I wish your Significant Person was well too. I didn't know he had a disability. I knew you were in a serious long term relationship with a military man. Being his caretaker ...I know the disability must be hard for him but being a caretaker for him and watching him suffer has to be hard for you. It's hard on you both and I wish life was treating you both better. I hate that you both have to go through what you're going through.  I want things to get better for you two.

 

The review and all of this probably seems like nothing now with all you have going on but your work gets me through hard times, so it's my privilege to review you. I love this chapter and that we see the other side of Jared. I love Miuna and I'm so happy Mark is paying.

Stunning as always.

Thank you for this. I have a feeling Parker is about to have her hands full....of Jarod.

I don't envy her or Jarod. You write beautifully, leaving me always in awe.

 

I also want to thank you for responding to my email. I understand you're compartmentalizing and really just glad you're coping ok and caring for yourself while caretaking for your significant person

 You say you don't need anything but if you ever do I'm here. The offer always stands.

Take care of yourself and update when you can. ’–’–’–

Mirage this is impressive work. Why why why aren't you writing the novels? You SHOULD be! Please don't be angry at me for saying what I mean as a compliment to you. You are talented, extraordinarily gifted author. Thank you for this stunning work.

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

I read your response to my review and wanted to edit what I said so I deleted it. This a revision. Oh goodness Mirage. You write gripping first sentences and gripping last sentences and gripping sentences all in between. No dragging. I love it. Edgy, tight, sharp, fresh, perfect. You write masterfully. More please?

Hey, I hope you're doing ok with everything going on in your life. Let us know if you need anything.

This is awesome. I didn't expect a new update or completion this soon and it's a wonderful surprise, brilliantly written. They are so on character. I wonder what Jarod will ask for in return and I'm wishing it's something Romantic. It's very Parker for her to expect him to take the money and get her way. You capture them pretender perfectly.

Isaac is amazing. Good to see him again!

Take care of yourself.

Write when you can.

Welcome back. Big hugs. Oh, this is it! I love it. Jarod is so gentle with her and oh, I know you're not a shipper but thank you for understanding and giving the shippers these special gifts.

Your descriptive work and characterisations have always been impressive and you've really developed the characters to perfection. Word choice is beautiful. I love this.

Thank you for checking in with us, for not just checking in but also sharing your brilliant gifts with us. Please keep checking in with me or with Jami, both if you want. Let us know if you need anything, even just to talk. I'll give you my number. I know you're a private person. I'm glad you're finally sharing a little bit of your life with us so we can send you positive energy.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Take care of yourself.

Stay well. Happy holidays if you don't post again before then.

Amazingly written as always.

I'm glad you're balancing caretaking with this work, and are finding a place to put the struggles you're facing. I worry when you've been away for too long.

I hope you're well.  I hope you're significant person is well, too. You haven't really updated anyone on your personal life. If it's too personal or painful I understand. Just know we are here. I'm here always. I've emailed you my phone number. Call anytime please.

I hope to read more from you as soon as you're able to give it to us. You take care of you. That's more important than anything. I'll be here when you post more.
