Aka the kids are alright ...
"politicians cited their conversations with young people, who they said saw the debate as such a 'non-issue', and that the message was that it is the adults who were 'overthinking it.'
Deputy Lucy Stephenson said: 'They are tolerant, supportive and respectful without even having to try. They are the true allies."

"good if it adds, meh if it doesn't,, blearg if it seems clunky or incomprehensible" - sorry to be vague but it depends.
#WritersCoffeeClub What do you feel when a loved one reads your work?
Positive. Some are skilled beta readers not afraid to give difficult feedback. Obviously there's some nerves and some readers in the family can be a bit clumsy about their comments. And knowing their taste it is really helpful if they don't like something.
#WordWeavers March 24: Tell us about something positive you experienced because of writing.
positive feedback from readers. waem glow of pride. companionship of other writers. entirely new suite of things to worry about
headlines are often written by someone who hasn't actually read the story, so having headlines written by someone who wouldn't understand the story even if they read it is simply peachy

every sympathy I started writing a novel about victorian spiritualism and lost three members of my own family in the years it took to get to market. The books stands up well to that experience.
Very troubling market trading coincides with the announcement of pause in Iran War
