Your honesty with people is what helps them write. Somehow I think that chap my surprise you some day, just because of your ability to be able to deliver a kind critique.

I am in awe...are you really that brave???? I mean I can be honest with you
it is easy for you are sooooooooooo talented, but when someone thinks that they can write and this is the cold cut they dish up....and they are proud of their work...i would probably tell him my computer collapsed or something.LOL

Well I am having second thoughts Pat. having spelled believe wrongly
previously. I think Charlie is a futuristic writer. We have not yet accustomed ourselves to his proposed catchment of thought, after all one has not got a lot of leverage with sticky toffee and I must commend him for not dragging sex into the scene. We could do with more sticky sweets and sucked lollips and perhaps less flesh strewn adjectives which could give young maids the jelly babies. I think your letter will encourage him somewhat sweetly.

I always forget that, along with you being a wonderful writer, and maybe because of that, you are such a great editor. You certainly do know your business and do it in a way that is helpful, generous, and kind.
