BJB, I finally read this chapter. I think it was good, and I really like the ending. Looking forward to the next chapter. I no you can dew it. ;)

Author's Response: OLO!! Scotty, I think my next story will be written in a code that only ewe and eye would ever understand.  :rollseyes:  Now look what you've gone and made me do.

I love this story BJB! You reaching farther into the depths of Pam's soul then the show ever could. It's beautiful! Go Pam, Find your courage and honesty!

Author's Response: Hi SLCS!  Oh if only the show could be more than a half-hour and appeared everynight instead of just Thursdays (*sigh*  If only, if only), then maybe they would have the time to go deep into Pam's soul.  But I think they do a mighty fine job of implying it with the time they have.  I'm just sharing with you all how I fill in the gaps (and doing some creative purging in the process)  :)  Thanks so much for the wonderful review!!!

Now that she had a taste of something that was a little hard to swallow, she wasn’t quite sure she was ready to spit it out. She wanted to chew on it a little more.

GO PAM!  Your writing is so thoughtful and intelligent.  This was just great! 



Author's Response: Thanks Abigail!!  I really enjoy your enthusiasm!

BlueJeanBaby, there were parts of this brilliant chapter that made my chest hurt because of how well you write. When Pam asked if she lacked courage and honesty, I really felt a little twinge in my heart for her, and how naked and open and exposed she must have felt in that moment. 

Again, such a wonderful use of imagery and metaphor here. I simply adore how the different layers of meaning within this story overlap one another, bringing a richness and depth to the story that I haven't seen in a long time. It's as though your ideas are watercolors themselves, you know? Lush, vibrant, colors that splash happily across my screen and into my mind and heart. 

Thank you so much for continuing this story! :) 



Author's Response: Cousin Mose, I just love your reviews.  They are so thoughtful and they warm my heart.  They are the type of reviews that make me want to write.  Thanks so much!!!

She completely understands about the negative space... hmmm. I wonder what she will do with this newfound understanding...
'She felt herself becoming braver as she learned that the attention was not something to fear, that it could, indeed, be helpful. ' I think this is really true of Pam. Nice work.

Author's Response: Oh, there are lots of things she can do.  :)  Thanks for the review!!
