This is a great start. I love the idea of Pam's art being her very life, and her creation being her self.
Author's Response:
Thank you. Yeah, I love the tango between art and life. I'm actually getting really into writing about it, so I'm glad I'm off to a good start, then. :)

This is so simple and beautiful. I love how you use Pam's interest in art to look at the bigger picture. I can't wait to see the rest! You know you want to become a creative writing slut!
Author's Response: Yep, I'm beginning to see that once you've had a taste, it's hard to give it up. I'm really enjoying the whole creative writing process. The only things I've really written before were papers and reports. This is definitely more fun and I'm finding it a little relaxing and cathartic. I think I'm well on my way to becoming a creative writing slut! Who knew!

Nice! I really liked this. And I'd be happy to beta more if you'd like. I'll email you through the site, but if that doesn't work, feel free to email me (tobeygrey [at] gmail [dot] com). And congratulations on posting your first fic. Trust me, it'll get easier--and a lot more fun--as you keep going. ;)
Author's Response: Azlin, I'm so glad you're going to beta for me. Thanks for the congratulations and the kudos. We'll see about it getting easier. :)

Excellent start, BJB!
I love the connection you made between Pam and her art.
Here is my fave part:
It was then that it became clear that it was not the mark of a man who was careless and un-thoughtful that had effortlessly ruined her drawing. It was years of denial and hard labor in an effort to force something to work that was never working to begin with that did her in. And the truth was, it was her own hand that had guided those lines.
I can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thanks Beeswax! While the first lines of the chapter are what got me started writing, this paragraph was is what told me what the chapter was going to be about. I'm glad you liked it.
