I've firmly set the music room image in my mind. Because my wife and my granddaughter had imaginary friends, Tilly Fitzgibbons was my wife's imaginary friend, and my granddaughter's was Phyllis and her father Jamie Daddy. I'm drawn in in by the friends, and the characters that fit well into the script. Well done, blessings Roy

I've never met anyone who had imaginary friends, or at least told me about them. How interesting that your wife and your grand daughter (your wife's blood-daughter?) had imaginary friends. Can you imagine how it would be at our ages if we suddenly had imaginary friends?

Yes, a genuine related granddaughter
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
No, never apologise for this story, the way you're writing it, or anything else. This story is amazing, Jay. You have this lad perfectly exposed to the reader, his genius will shine soon as all those like him have before. This is incredible writing, my friend, and I would love to see this on stage or on screen. I think Jenny is a little in love with Cornelius, perhaps she sees something of herself in him and can relate? Perhaps they will become friends one day? Now Pidely-Poo, (love that name) is back and Cililla is not a happy bunny! Love this story, well done, my friend, I can't wait for the next part. :)) Sandra xxx

Oh, Sandra, Bless you! There are some things I wish I had done differently. For one thing, not make Mr. Hallows appear (as my mother would have put it) a bubble off plumb. He is an empath and understands Cornelius better than anyone, save Cililla. Irresponsible, I can handle. He was being irresponsible. But imbalanced. Next week's scene, which I'm working on now, will present some dynamics of how Cililla and Pidely-Poo guided Cornelius's mind.

Compelling--gripping--tense interactions ring true to circumstances. Definitely stick with the detailed stage directions! Especially important in such an unusual script.

Thank you, Liz. I appreciate your take on that. It certainly isn't easier to write a stageplay with so much stage direction.
