The Sugar Blues
Sometimes the universe hands me a story. It's like some unearthly writer hung around and mugged my Muse. The words pour forth -- my fingers merely a conduit to the story being offered. Such is the history of The Sugar Blues, now being workshopped on Zoetrope.
So far, I've read some really kind words from reviewers:
Dang - that was told real well. Loved it as much as the Sally Ann loved sweets. Can I have another one? I liked the flavor of every scene - I could taste Momma's baking and smelled every smell stuck to your words. On the ol' 1 to 10 scale - you went over the top.

This story crackles like a lemon stick. It's tart and sweet, beautifully written.

Ginger, you just might have the next "To Kill a Mockingbird" in your fingers.
* * *
I really love your story. It is full of many favorable pictures, and very intense. I haven't read one like this in a long time. It has a vintage southern touch to it... The best part for me would be the ending. I never seen it coming.

This is REALLy fine stuff...A most excellent bit of work. Someday I hope to write like that!
