And you want to read more! Yay! Double yay!<br /><br />This is a brand-spanking new beginning, one rewritten after the original (which opens with a dream in a shrink's office) was deemed cliche by more than one Important Person. So back to the drawing board. Your response comforts me I made the right decision (because I did love that original opening, now recycled later in the story).<br /><br />The 70s? I was aiming for late 90s, when stuff went retro, Nirvana going strong because Cobain checked himself out. Which I hoped was a clue pointing to the emotional state of my protag. I'll reconsider song choices, perhaps ditch Stairway to Heaven.<br /><br />Thank you for running this blog, and taking the time to respond to first pages. I've lurked here, read them all, and learned a lot.
