[stylist] Introduction

[Miss Thea]

Hi, Bill.
Thank you for reading my article, "I'll Call Her Sandy".
I wouldn't mind the help of an editor to help me tighten things up and 
publish it somewhere where influential people might read it, see the face, 
hear the name, of a victim of this kind of crap and toughen up the law.
Could you feel me being wooed, the joy of new love, etc., as well as the 
betrayal?
I wanted to take the reader through each step of the buildup, so they would 
get the same sense of betrayal I had.

As to your own novel, LGBT has become more popular, so if you feel the novel 
has a good plot, good characterization, etc., why not work with it?
I've found nothing in the way of lesbian romances I can read, and I started 
writing one.
But after suffering at the hands of both men and women so often, I might 
just write a story featuring two dogs. LOL
I had started a romance between two women, but now isn't the time to work on 
it. I started it when I thought there was someone out there for me.
Thea

HI Thea,

No, the first novel is a bit of a train wreck, and has a gay protag
anyway, so I couldn't get agents interested in it.  I think the novel
I'm working on now has a lot more going for it so I'm focusing on that
for the moment.  I read your post about the scam you've lived through
and enjoyed it, if that's the right word.  It made me so angry, the way
most human beings are trusting and trustworthy  while some few are
manipulative vampires.  Your piece is so rich with the sense of human
warmth, as with the people in the restaurant, contrasted with the
scamsters.  I look forward to more of your writing.


--Bill
