Comment from Ridley Williams
Hi Annie,
Wow! I really enjoyed the detail you portrayed through this write. Of course, it might help that it's early in the morning here in Calif, the coffee just finished perking and the sun has not yet risen, lol. However, none of those things detract from the excellent delivery in this chapter.
You touch on the emotions of every loving parent, although every parent needs some down time. I enjoyed the way you summarized the day, with all the commotion involved, and brought us back to the evening time of sanity, lol. Great way to finish the write... ZZZZZZZing off to dream land.
I appreciated this snapshot of a day and its insightful look at a moment in life, well done.
All my best, Bill

Bill, I truly write for my own enjoyment...sometimes very simply, like this little one...I'll probably read it to my granddaughter someday when she's maybe 3 months old, Lol. But I've always felt the need to write my feelings as far back as I can remember. But I am very glad you took the time to read this small piece. Thank you Bill, Take care and enjoy you're weekend also...I'm on the East coast

Well, that's the best way to write. If you're not happy with your work, what's the point. I used to try and tailor pieces for the magazine in which I was submitting work. Wasted time... Write what you know, if you've talent, you'll grow...lol.
Hope all is well out your direction. I saw where they're expecting three to six inches of snow in Montana and North Dakota today...you've gotta' be kidding me! Hope we don't get too early of a winter...B
Comment from DerivedBetter
I enjoyed this. The descriptions were well written and I could actually picture all of this in my minds eye. You managed to convey this pre morning peace very well. One thing that I would change though is this line "the stone fireplace mantle in the kitchen and where the smell". You talk about the kitchen which really makes the "and where" a little out of place. In my mind this works a little better- and the clock ticking over the fireplace mantle in the kitchen where the smell of fresh cofee...
Anyway, just a small suggestion. Keep up the great work and definitely keep on writing!

Hi, Annie. Not a deep poem, but I don't think it's intended to be. It's a lot of fun to read, and I thank you for that. I can also relate, as I'm sure many others can as well. Relating to readers is so key.
