Hello everyone, it is Tuesday, April 21 at 11:18. I am feeling better about the review.  I think I am okay with it. I think they could have offered more praise as a balance but really they did give me good info, and I think they wanted to really be a blind reader and tell me things I did not know.  like for instance, waht they said about the journal format wasnt really it, but I think they are letting me know that the beginning I question might pass for a lot of readers as being like a journal narration.  That is actually helpful because I ahve worried about it.  They also said they liked the ending.  That is valuable to me.  They also classified it as fantasy, like it holds up as that genre. Well that is neat, and really kidn of generous, since it only overlaps with other realms and the mice mostly are in reality.  I mean I think that is nice.

What else.  They said some positives, and saying it meanders might mean they noticed my circumstantiality.  Like the book and plot don't really ramble but the writing does.  I am wordy and ramble a lot.  So I think they might have thought, okay, we will tell this person the craft weaknesses that we saw and you know what, it is all true and I know that.  But the good stuff is there, too, and why can't you say that.  I mean I gave you a chance to say only that if you really wanted to look for the best in it.

But anyway, I think that the books are going to reach people and certain goals I had are going to work.  I did want people to say, I could do this.  I mean even at 14 years old.  And I believe this book will work.  And I believe that it is similar to a child's imagination but with adult strength.  And the strength is humble and comes across almost like weakness.

But anyway I am happy that someone read my book.  I think some kirkus people have an idea of what I am about and it has not been apparent to everyone for a while.  So they know what I think of myself and what I am doing and they know kind of the comedy of it like what might be some unworthiness.

Anyway I mean maybe some of it is funny, I do not know. Maybe I will reread the review.  Maybe some people are interested in the summary and they know what they are doing to advertise our books.

Gice I just ate some of a taco and felt too full.  But it is okay. I do not have heartburn yet but it could happen later. I did not think about that.  I am going to drink some more coke, maybe make some coffee, and maybe some sherbet if I stay up late.

I think I won't have to go to the hospital because of this review.
