I love the first paragraph because I think Lewis Carroll is awesome! Yes, real life is sometimes too much. Reading and writing fiction is much more comfortable for me. Well, going back to pen and paper can sometimes be more comfortable, I think. I love the way you ended this and I think it's very fortunate that you have such a nice experience with writing prompts.

Thank you. Yes I feel that I am an extremely lucky person indeed. I am paid to work with words all day, and since finding FS I can play with them to my heart's content at night.

I have just bought Lewis Carroll. I was left feeling centered and light I had just spent the night writing a masterpiece.
I to revert to pen and paper it feels more natural and far more magical.

Comment from Iza Deleanu
Your rant is so funny to follow, I was expecting something magic to jump out from the story, but instead you cleverly stir the wheel towards your passion; the love for writing or of writing. I can identify myself with this part of your story:" have always been a great one for writing letters, loving the feel of a fountain pen flowing over a sheet of paper. I derive enormous satisfaction from this form of communication, and I mourn what is now becoming something of a lost art. Since my children have grown up, and I am more or less on my own, and left to my own devices, I have become more adventurous in my writing. I am a Jack-of-all-Trades: will write on any subject, any length, any time limit. But boy, as a singer said last night about his craft,
"it's such fun." Thank you so much for sharing and good luck with the contest.

You are. Welcome

A well developed story, within the guidelines of the contest, you do have a line break. (craft,
"it's such fun.") you will want to edit. Write on and write often

Thanks for your review and comments. I'm sorry but I don't understand something. I was always taught that a speech should start on a new line. Is that not true?
-
I believe that the effective use of the comma and the quotation marks are more in line with correct sentence structure...but I may certainly in error?

I thinkit looks better. I will fix it. Thank you for your careful reading

This is very well written and will take some beating I think. You have certainly mastered the art of capturing the right word at the right time. Good luck although I doubt you'll need it.

Thank you for your extremely generous review, and the highest score possible. I'm thrilled by your opinion.
Comment from Sallyo
Interesting journey into your psyche. You remind me of myself, in some ways, though I'm not a fan of Carroll. That's not capricious; I just prefer more logic in my magic. Also, I long ago abandoned the pen, because my handwriting is implausibly bad.
I enjoyed your ruminations and although the text could be trimmed or tightened, it doesn't need to be. It's YOU. (Whoever you are.)
