Here is a suggestion about the very first line. When English authors quote American speakers, sometimes there are subtleties of word choice or word placement in a sentence that make the American characters sound English too. I realize that this is autobiographical and that you are going on real memories, so that may have what they said, or they may have said "now." My point is, this is an aspect of book-editing that can sometimes be overlooked.Prisstopolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07982217149554870180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-49510018576580051232008-09-03T14:49:00.000-07:002008-09-03T14:49:00.000-07:00"CONGRATULATIONS!!

Excellent news! I'm sure a real picker-upper, which is what most writers need, as one toils without acclaim, monetary or otherwise, for much of the time. When I eventually make it to the UK to visit my Nigerian family friends and you, I will expect that the butler will indeed let me in, and your appointment secretary will award me a few minutes with you. Perhaps as long I am entertaining, I will be allowed to stay, but once I wear thin, the door will be shown to me. I'll tell Shannon about your good news. BTW, our class ends very soon.

I mean I’m not surprised honestly your writing genuinely is outstanding, I’m not one to blow smoke up peoples asses (well not anymore and it was a weird time back then I needed the money…ahhhh =D forget I said anything ) but in all seriousness you have developed in to quite the literary talent. Your works that I’ve read have always shared the same qualities, such evocative imagery and brutal honesty it’s always kept me eager to read more. You justly earned the honor they’ve bestowed upon you, you’ve always had a superior intellect but over the years you spent confined you truly honed your skills and transformed yourself into a gifted author you whole heartedly deserve that award. They tried to put you in the dark and break you, so you just became the star and shined.
