You know, Mike Lyle, I love you cheap shot artists with your snide
remarks. Then when I call you on them, you break and run never to be
heard from again.

You'll break and run too, Mike.

Watch.

You say, I don't have the "empathy or clarity" to write for children?
Presumably, you base that on my excerpts. I'll assume it's the first
three chapters.

All I'm asking is you back up your critique with a reasoned argument.

Is that unreasonable?

In the past when I've asked this of one of you supposed writing gurus
your silence was deafening.

Why don't you be the one to back up your big ignorant mouth with action,
Mike Lyle?

Now tell us why these three chapters fail.

Please don't break threads,
even if it is the only thing you -can- break,
