Oh, samantha. *kicks* I can't believe I forgot to review. I'm so sorry.
This was wonderfully written. in ways I can't even begin to describe. I feel like this story was so close to home. And I love how the more bill's faith in his work faded, the more he faded as a person, if you know what I mean? Like he was pretty and beautiful, because he felt like his art was beautiful, worth it. and when no one came, and he just felt that deep disappointment wash over him and he stopped trying. it's devastating, really. how easy it is to lose all your faith in yourself. i feel so sad for bill. i just wanna hug him.
I love how tom didn't have the faith to come in, but came in after all, when it rained, and then had the guts to finally tell bill. and i love how that tiny little comment was such a big one for bill. it meant more to him that tom probably knew. and that's beautiful. and maybe, just maybe, that made bill think that maybe there are others out there like tom, who admired his work but were too shy to say so.
I just love how you left us with that little glimmer of hope. it was gorgeous. i really loved this story. and thank you for the lovely words in the end notes. we love you so much in our group! you are so precious. *kicks you* thank you! i love you!

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I kept me enthralled until the very end. More please. :)
I know exactly what a lot of writers on here are going through. I used to write a lot and have a lot posted on here but I lost my joy in writing. I hope Zarlina, The_Poltergeist and Sturmfrei don't give up and quit writing like I did. I really miss it and perhaps someday I'll learn to love it again. But I'll only write them for my own enjoyment and then it won't matter if I get reviews.
Keep up the good work ladies You are each very much loved on here.

I so know what you mean. It is quite a mood killer when we take all this time to make a story and people can't take a minute to leave a review. But on the bright side, we always have the fellow authors who will understand you and make sure to review, like I always try to.
Such a beautiful story, and the meaning makes it even more beautiful!

I absolutely love this, and oh my god yes. I know exactly how Bill felt. It perfectly portraits the feeling whenever a story I'm so happy and proud of gets almost no response compared to the reads. It's the biggest motivation killer there is and I so often wonder why I'm even bothering with it. (As you already know, you've heard me talk about it more than once.)
Thank you for this beautiful piece, I absolutely loved it < 3 almost as much as I love you < 3
