Lately, two friends have entrusted me with their first novels...asking me what I think.

Wow, what an honor. Truly.

I have a lot of joy in my heart right now knowing that my opinion mattered. I always wrote, I never asked anyone what they thought, and didn't think my opinion mattered much. So when someone puts their baby in my hands and trusts that I care for it... I think that's beautiful.

I am not a person who has sought opinion and I am careful when I am asked to give one. I travel in the company of myself as a writer but it feels really sweet to think even I could have some company in that place I always thought of as completely solo.
Thanks friends...
