Dear Plant Kid,
You ought to know I’m rethinking the beginning of your story. Not the part with the bird but the part where you meet the old man for the first time. I’m not buying the story which makes selling it to the reader a bit tough. I’m also thinking about that thing that happened to your arm in one of the other versions. It might be making a comeback. Just thought you should know.

Dear Max,
Ask your boy to tell me something that would surprise me.

Dear Sisters,
To be honest, neither one of you is all that interesting to me right now.

Your characters are lucky. I’m feeling guilty now about doing stuff to them without fair warning.
Oh it’s so much fun to blindside them!
Loved this post….now I know what to do with characters I have little use for….
It’s so much fun to do these and it really helps me plot.
Thanks, Dori.
