Oh, don't apologize. I really appreciate the feedback, and don't mind sorting through the rambles to get it. :)
I was worried about that, if Dave would come off either too-girly or too-perfect to be credible. Relieved it worked for you. Your feedback was a definite help.
I'm at the point now where I've got more time to write in my little notebook than I do to type up each bit and edit. I've got like three more parts written but not 'finished.'
You mention the tee. What did that gesture (keeping it in his lap) seem to mean to you? Just curious if my intended impression came through.
Did you know before reading it what Tiger Balm is? did you feel it was explained enough in the context of the story?
Will try to get another part up soon, but the schedule-from-hell starts tomorrow. My next not-twelve-hour day will be Friday.
Jeez girl. You REALLY are a brilliant writer. I guess the money making part of me is saying "Why the hell aren't you doing novels?" but I understand your liking to write as a hobby. You really are beyond "hobby" though, I'm sure you could sell books. And as I type that I'm thinking "she probably knows that already". So... I'll shut up and say, Thanks.
I think part of why I don't write novels is that I love the instant gratification of getting a review the day after I write the final draft of something. I dunno if I have the discipline to write an entire book without that sort of insta-support.
I also doubt there's really a paying market for what I write.
Thanks for all the compliments though. If I could figure out a way to write what I like and make some cash, I think I might try it. I can't cope with het romance though, and the only actual gay man who reads my stuff just gives me "aww, aren't you cute" sorta responses when I ask him what he thought, so I don't think bos would buy my work.
I am really glad for every reviewer I get though. It's as good a motivator as cash any day. :)

What do you think of the boys? Anything standing out as "too much" or not-credible?

So soft, from the hands to the words to the tee in his lap. These drabbles are so much love.
~hugs~ Thankyou for writing them and sharing them. :)

I'll pose you the same two questions I gave Goodtwin then. :)

Thanks again and have a wonderful week.

That's pretty-much dead on how I hoped for it to read. Sorta like his heart's telling his naughty bits to wait.
