This line is just perfect: "The loneliness had made for a tough adjustment and what had surprised her most was missing Roy very little and missing Jim completely and utterly."

This was a beauty, EL. I just love your style of writing. Two of my favorites from this:
1. Talking about Karen was not as fun, but she stayed positive while asserting her heterosexuality; and,
2. Positive. Content. Breathe in, out. She smiled. The day was ending and she had big weekend plans: painting and maybe using that vibrator her sister had purchased for her as a joke.
I felt both had the perfect combo of humor and melancholy.
Great job.
Author's Response: thank you so much! i too loved these lines. #1 made me feel like a clever wordsmith when i banged it out and #2 i loved b/c i felt like it was a mantra. maybe something she'd used before during what turned out to be a really crappy year for her (that got better real quick though!). thank you for your feedback, it's always so good to hear from you.

great job of capturing pam's thoughts!
Author's Response: oh thanks! i know it's cliche, and saying it's cliche is cliche :) but i really love the job. i could write about it from 100 angles - as could we all i suppose!

I loved reading all the little details filling in the cracks of that day, what she was really thinking, and you did a wonderful job of keeping in in-character. Great job!
Author's Response: oh man, thanks bebitched! i think there's so much under the surface that we didn't see. there were a few facial expressions here and there, but pam spent most of the day (well i guess two days) doing talking heads and performing for the camera. the interior was really mysterious to me... thank you for the feedback!
