Thank you so much for your detailed comment! I'm thrilled that my story made you love Millicent. I wanted her to be real, and I'm so glad it worked.
I love love love that in a woman and all the women (and men) in your piece are strong in unique and beautiful ways
This is such an amazing compliment. Thank you! I wanted to show that romance isn't everything. It's lovely and all kinds of wonderful, but in the end, Millicent must be her own person and independent to achieve her goals in life. Thank you so much for remarking on that!
Rita is a favorite character of mine, and while I don't particularly like her, I love to read and write about her. It means a lot to me to hear that my version comes across as IC.
Thanks again for making my day with such a lovely comment!
