Your story has a good set up and dialogue. You covered a lot of ground in a few words with good detail to support it. I wonder if Harper Lee was actually like that. It sounds authentic.

    So pleased you like my conversation with Harper, Nancy. It was fun to write. The research I did suggests she was very much like this, especially in her later years. Rod

Nice story. I often have dreams of Shakespeare having tea with me. The message of your story can be universal. Writing to an audience of one is just as powerful as writing for an audience of one thousand. Thank you for sharing.

    Although I taught Shakespeare for years, I never imagined having a conversation with him. I am delighted you like my Harper Lee story. Rod

You chose a phenomenal author, Nelle Harper lee, to visit you. In 1961, her classic novel won the Pulitzer Prize. Your brief story is very well written and includes realistic dialogue. I especially like her final advice. I wish you the best in the contest.
