10 Date: November 27, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Swiffer! I remember an early incarnation of this from days of long ago, and I always thought it had some great potential. And I love what you've done with it! Such a realistic glimpse into what Karen must have been thinking during those last days at Stamford. And it's all the little nuances that you throw in--like the as yet unnamed cat and "he's too tall, she's too short, and he's probably not Catholic"--that make this such a tasty treat.
Kudos and huzzah for you one this one, m'dear! I'm proud of you for tackling the writer's block head-on, and I think you could very easily return to this another time and explore it a little more.
Well done!

Sorry I'm arriving so late to the party! I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a lot of time to read much of anything.
Also, I'm not really sure how this story has managed to go on for so long without me really noticing! That's my bad for not being very observant.
That being said, I loved this first chapter! ChristmasDork!Pam might just be my new favorite Pams of all the Pams. Seriously, I'm a HUGE Christmas dork myself, but Pam in this chapter puts me to shame! (Even if Johnny Mathis is on the radio right now. That's just a coincidence, I swear!)
You have such a flair for their dialogue and banter! It's just a treat to read. It's as though we're watching a brand new "secret" documentary of their post-show lives.
And I'll add my own voice to the chorus of those who are applauding the copious use of the term "mucous plug." As disgusting as that sounds (Yeah, I'm a guy...what of it?), it nonetheless cracked me up. :)
Oh, one last thing: Pam with little glasses halfway down her nose? Yeah. Might just be the cutest image yet. :)
Author's Response:
Mose! Come on in! Care for a Cosmo? Beer? Scotch and Splenda? You've already got the Johnny Mathis going on and is there anything better than hearing, "It's a marsmallow world in the winter..." No, no there isn't. Just one thing: never, ever use the word "copious" and "mucous" in the same sentence again. :-D Sounds like the dorky, mouth-breathing gladiator...Copious Mucous. Anyway...
Christmas!Dork Pam is a doll, isn't she? I loved writing her and Jim's reactions to her so much. Your comment about this being a secret doc of their future - wow! That's a huge compliment. Writing the banter, it's seriously addictive. I love doing it so much.
I've always thought that either Jim or Pam (or maybe both) is a contact-wearer. Personally, I have a serious desire to see Jim in glasses, but Pam's pretty darned cute in them, too. Appropriately dorky and darling, I'm sure.
What fun this was to read! Thank you so, so much!!

Date: December 16, 2007 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - Mrs. Halpert Goes to College
Remember what I said in your last chapter about Glasses!Pam being the most adorable? It's still true, but wow... this portrait you've painted of her here is every bit as detailed and amazing!
I'm serious--this may be the most realistic portrayal of Pam's inner workings I've ever read. The conflicting emotions; the hormone-and-stress-of-life highs and lows; the frustration of artistic block... just, wow. :)
How in the world am I supposed to get anything else done today until I've finished reading this entire thing now? Thanks a lot. :P
Author's Response:
Yeah? Well I was closing down the laptop before I ran out the door to get some errands done and NOW look what I'm doing!
You've left me nearly speechless here and that's not easy to do. I got the idea for this story and made notes on the major plot points, so Pam was always going to be the focus of this story...but then I realized (I'm a little slow, okay?) that I was going to have to actually write about Pam! And first-person Pam, too! What the hell was I thinking? Jim is so easy (TWSS) for me, but Pam? There was a lot of sitting with my hands on the home row, staring out the window thinking, what would she be thinking? How would she feel about that? Yeah, a lot of that.
I love her conflict at the end of this chapter. I think she really wishes for a moment that she could forget all the art stuff and just completely immerse herself in her life with Jim and not want anything more than that. I went back to school full-time to finish my degree when I was 38 and I tended bar at night. I so understand this part of her.
I can't say a big enough thank you for this review.

*click*
See? Just like that, you're on my favorite authors list. :)
This chapter was all sorts of wonderful, and not just because Mrs. Mose and I have had conversations eerily similar to the one Jim and Pam had here. This was just so... real. Pam's absolutely right about Jim--he does have blinders on when it comes to her. He does believe that she can do anything. It's both a fault and a strength of his. (Hey, would Pam rather that he not think she can do anything?)
But the genius of this chapter is that you were able to take that conversation and keep it in the realm of reality. Because in my mind, it's much more realistic for Pam to take a break right now. She's got some valid concerns to deal with, and it's okay if she knows that she can't do it all. (Here's a hint, Pam: nobody can do it all.)
Okay, I know I'm talking about this story as though it's totally non-fiction. That's my own problem. :P Well, it's also partly yours for writing it so convincingly! ;)
Author's Response:
EEE! How cool is this? I'm going to float around all day after reading this and thank you so much for reviewing each chapter! Good grief, I feel like Pam unwrapping her ornaments!
I never really understood how having complete and utter faith in someone could be a negative thing for them until an ex told me that it felt like pressure. Please to note the use of the word "ex" in the last sentence. You're so right about this being a fault and a strength of Jim's. And Pam definitely loves him for believing in her...but she's making a baby right now and she's a little overwhelmed!
I'm so pleased you thought the conversation seemed real. I kept switching between my tie and my cardigan to think about how they would react to each other. You talking about this like it's non-fiction? Best. Thing. Ever.
You made my whole weekend, here. Would Mrs. Mose be mad if I gave you a virtual smooch? Okay, good. :-*

Date: December 16, 2007 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 - Mrs. Halpert, in the Art Room, with a Secret
Oh, Pam...
Is it wrong that I sorta want to hug her and tell her it'll be okay? (Was that the most dorky thing I've written all day? Answer: Yes.)
I like that Pam made a new friend here, and I like that she's able to confide in someone else for a change. Jim and Pam need more "regular" friends, not just the inmates at the Dunder Mifflin Asylum for the Clinically Insane where they work. :)
I'll tell you the scene that really hit me this time was Pam's talking sketch book, making snarky remarks to her as she leafed through it. I'm pretty sure it was made by the same company that made my computer, because it does the same thing to me when I look back at some of the older things I've written. :)
Another fabulous chapter! I'd love to finish reading the rest right now, but I really DO have some stuff I need to accomplish right now. But I promise to come back and finish reading and reviewing soon!
Author's Response:
Not the dorkiest at all, but definitely the sweetest. Jim and Pam do need some real friends outside the asylum (love that) and even though Kellie is a patient there, she seems pretty normal. And we must have the same computer, Mose, because I do that while I'm writing!
This was so kind of you to do and I can't thank you enough.

Okay, Sweetpea, I'm back to finish reading this wonderful story!
This chapter was surprisingly tender, considering it was a Jim-centric chapter. So many great moments here, from the wonderfully hot little glimpse into how much Jim likes to hear Pam call his name (yowza!), to the interaction between Jim and Pam and Jim's parents.
Again, your talent for keeping the feel and tone of this story so real just keeps shining through here. And perhaps it's resonating with me because of how many similarities I'm seeing with my own life. My dad "fell in love" with Mrs. Mose the instant he saw her, and he treats her EXACTLY how Jim's dad treats Pam. :)
And I really love the advice and perspective that Jim's dad is able to share. This is a really complicated problem that Jim and Pam are dealing with, and it's nice they have people in their lives to help them out.
Great chapter!
Author's Response:
I can't think of anything better than walking through this story with you chapter by chapter. Thank you so much for doing this.
I loved writing the conversation between Jim and his parents. My family was definitely a "kitchen table" family and it almost made me feel like I was sitting with my folks again, chatting, and getting advice. It's so nice to read about your Dad and Mrs. Mose...how wonderful for all of you they have that kind of relationship.
Jim making Pam call his name...totally selfish paragraph, so I'm thrilled it, um, works from the male perspective, too. I think that little interlude helped to set the mood for how unaware those kinds of frantic calls can catch you and yank you into attention. But, who am I kidding? It was a little gratuitous and I am totally fine with that. :-)
Reading these reviews is not only boosting my confidence (thank you for that) it's giving me a break from Chapter 9 which seems to want to tie me up in knots. This is easier and way, way more fun!

10 Date: December 17, 2007 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 - What a Wonderful World
This chapter made my heart ache just a little bit...but in a good way. Again, you continue to astound me with the clarity with which you write. It's like you've got the only copy of that "secret other documentary" I mentioned a few reviews back, and you're just transcribing what you're seeing. It's that vivid, and it feels that real. (I know I keep saying that, but it's true!)
I love stories that gives us little glimpses into Jim and Pam's pasts. Little things like young Jim trying to play the trumpet and failing miserably at it--although I have to say I always picture him playing saxophone like I did, but I digress--or even the peek into Jim's Mom's past with her own artistic crisis.
On to the next chapter!
Author's Response:
I think the saxophone is too cool of an instrument for The Adorkable One to play! So, there you go, Mose. You're cooler than Jim Halpert!
I can't tell you how great it is to read that this feels real for you! There are writers here who can write a sense of realism with very few words or with just a few details and do it so beautifully, but I am not one of those writers. I struggle with writing too many details and being too windy, and I know I've crossed the line maybe more than a few times in this story. I'm rewriting right up to the second before I post and then I almost always have a sense of "writer's remorse." I nearly always want to call timeout and take it back and work on it some more.
Anyway...I digress, too. See? Again with the windy, so I'll just say thank you so much for your wonderfully kind and generous comments.

One of my favorite bumper stickers I've seen reads "Visualize Whirled Peas." :P
Ah, NOW the title of your story makes sense! See, I was thinking of the Billy Joel song of the same name, and trying to think why you chose a song about a town that is failing financially, and wondering what it had to do with Jim and Pam. :P
But I'm with you now. And your Allentown is WAY better than the images I was trying to conjure up in my mind. :)
Fantastic chapter! I've so enjoyed this! I'm sad that there's only one more chapter to go, but at least I'll be caught up, right? :)
Author's Response:

First chuckle of the day! Thank you!
I never even thought of the Billy Joel song, but I figured lots of folks would think Allentown, Pennsylvania figured in here somehow! Allentown (the art festival) is a really wonderful experience and I can't wait to plunk Jim and Pam right down in the middle of it.
Winding this all up is going to be an even bigger challenge, I think, than getting the story this far. But then I read the first chapter of your new story and I thought, "Huh, you think you've got a challenge? Look at what Mose has in store for himself!" Way to give me some perspective! And thank you again for the review!

WOOT! I'm finally caught up now! :)
Sweetpea, this is an amazing story. In fact, "amazing" seems like such a lame word to use in describing it. I think there needs to be some sort of mutli-sensory thesaurus that can more accurately convey in words and sights and smells and sounds and feelings just how great this is. :)
I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response:
Mose, thank God Catholic school permanently damaged my ego or else these reviews would have swelled my head to massive proportions. You've been too kind and I appreciate it so much.
The next chapter is giving me fits, but usually when that happens, I get a bit of an epiphery, so I'm trying not to force it and let it come naturally. And that's the biggest TWSS setup you're ever going to get from me. :-D
Another virtual smooch and a hug for you for being so great. Mrs. Mose is one lucky woman.

Sweetpea! What a treat to wake up and find a new Allentown chapter! Especially since I'm all caught up now and can feel like I know what's going on. :P
First off, I have to point out something I never noticed before until this chapter, but which I absolutely love: Pam has changed her last name to "Halpert," (as evidenced by her screen name), but Jim still calls her "Beesly." I don't know why I didn't make that connection until now, and I don't know why I adore that so much, but I do. It's just another one of those little touches that make this story so great.
I also laughed out loud at the "pregnant woman with the bionic hearing" line, and smiled happily when Pam said "we're going to be okay." Such a blissfully real moment.
Well done, as usual!
Author's Response:
Mose, so nice to see you here again! I love that you love the "Beesly" thing! I kind of think Jim probably pulls that out when Pam is misbehaving - kind of like how your mom uses your first, middle and last names when you're being bad!
The "we're going to be okay" scene...that was tough, there was a lot going on there, I think. Pam is really, really happy to be having a baby, but she's pretty disappointed about her dreams for a new career being put on hold. I think she had a similar realization in the shower that Jim had in the bedroom - everything was about to change and it was inevitable. But I think she wants to make sure Jim knows she's not unhappy with him or the coming baby and when she sees him on the bed, I think she knows he's sensing the winds of change, too. She's the one who needs to comfort him this time.
Wow, did I just tell a whole 'nother story there? Okay, I'll just wrap it up by saying how much I've enjoyed reading your reviews and how much I appreciate this one!

You had me at "Herb Halpert and the Scrantonictiy Brass," I'll have you know...
Also, I'm less than halfway through this and I already want chicken wings. I'm blaming you. :P
Sweetpea, I was hoping you'd do something like this for this last chapter--switching back and forth between Jim and Pam as they narrate. It's so nice to hear the same story from two different people, and I like how you've managed to keep the story from getting repetitive. It's so true to each of them, after all: they'd both remember and focus on different things during the day. I think you did it perfectly.
And talk about your first class cliff hangers! Will it be a little Matthew, or a little Natalie? (My vote is for Natalie, because... well... that's Mrs. Mose's name, so I'm sorta drawn to that one. :P)
I'm so glad to see this updated, and I can't wait to see the epilogue!
Author's Response:
Hee! Mose, you're so awesome. As my mind was scrambling around for another foolish name, it lit on that and I just cracked myself up.
This is the first long story I've ever done and I've learned a lot about what to do and what not to do. In particular, what you mentioned about switching perspectives. I wish I'd done that earlier and it was a lot of fun to write that way, too.
Mrs. Mose is a Natalie? That's my godchild's name and I love it. I have no idea what the Halperts are going to have! We'll all be surprised, right along with them.
Thank you so, so much for all your encouragement and kind words. You really gave me a boost in the last leg of writing when I was feeling fatigued and mopey and I so appreciate it!

It's like a mosaic we're making together, Jim and I. I'm thinking how, if you stand too close sometimes, you focus on all the little pieces...some pieces are fine like polished glass, and some are ragged and worn, some weathered and tear-stained. But if you step back, you can see them all coming together to form images and scenes that tell the story of us. It's a story we're still writing and I can't wait for the next chapter.
Oh, wow. That is a spectacular piece of writing right there, Sweetpea! I felt a shiver go up my spine when I read it. (The good kind of shiver, of course).
What an amazing story this has been! I have absolutely adored being along for the ride, and I'm so glad I found this story and decided to give it a read! Your future for Jim and Pam and little Natalie (YAY for the name!!) fits just perfectly with the utter realism that you've been crafting all along here. I know it's strange to keep using the word "real" when describing a fictional story about fictional characters, but I can't think of a better word. :)
Because, basically, this is as plausible an ending (beginning?) for Jim and Pam as anything I've ever read. Maybe even more so. :)
Congratulations on a superbly crafted story, and I look forward to your next endeavor!
Author's Response:
Aww, Mose, thank goodness you're up to keep me company! I'm so glad you've been along for the ride, too. When you started reading and reviewing chapter by chapter...man, that made me feel so good. Thank you.
The passage you quoted did not want to get written. I think my brain was just too tired to find the words, but it finally squeaked out, bit by bit. I'm so glad you got the shivers!
It makes me really happy to think of Jim and Pam settling in my hometown. Buffalo gets a lot of bad press for having too much snow, a failing economy, and an absurd number of bowling alleys, but the people are warm and friendly and the art community is indeed thriving. I have a feeling the city would wrap Pam and Jim up in a thermal Bills or Sabres blanket and give them a big hug!
Thank you again for all your kind words.

And Jake Palmer releases his hip-hop album "Mister Poop" in 2017, which goes triple platinum. XD
Author's Response: Naturally. That is to be inferred ;-)

Here's my secret shame: I totally love the Amazing Race, and would love to see the Office cast go around the world. :)
Author's Response: I've never seen it, but I'm fascinated by the concept. I really should watch it. I read a book last year with characters in a similar premise, but I can't for the life of me remember the title. I'm an old, old lady.

I think Jan would make a great commentator on MSNBC, or any other cable station. She totally looks like a news person--a smokin' HOT news person. :)
Author's Response: Doesn't she? She's just so put together (ahem, was put together). I want good things to happen for her.

Yeah, I could see Angela & Marie being friends. Maybe Marie could give Angela dancing tips. :P
Author's Response: They'd be the kind of friends that are snippy behind each other's backs. And damn, I should have had Phyllis on Dancing with the Stars.
