@AuthorGFAllen I am so bad at this. And it's so hard to distinguish between useful criticism, and un-useful. Sometimes the critic may mean well but not get what you're trying to do. In which case it's not the specific criticism which is the problem, but maybe something wider.
@CarolaHuttmann@StephDRondeau Yeah I'm with you on this one, not because it was difficult but because I just didn't get the connection between prescription drugs addiction, and Dickens' David Copperfield.
@AustinJ_P_ My only reason to write is to somehow try to give reality to the story inside my head. There are so many of us jostling for commercial viability, I don't feel there is any point joining in!
