Sonia-- a friend from Vassar, and a frequent commenter on this blog-- did an amazing thing this past week:
1. She read my whole novel.
2. She wrote out a ream of detailed, intelligent, useful comments, comments that both reassured me that I'm not a complete failure and simultaneously inspired me to make this novel better.
3. She did this IN THE MIDDLE OF FINALS. And she's a senior in college. So she was pretty busy. OMFG.
So let's raise our figurative glasses (or our real ones, if you happen to be drinking at 3:30 on a Wednesday afternoon) to Sonia: a fabulous friend, and an amazing person.
Thanks, Sonia!
(And Sonia, my husband still knows you as "Couch Sonia," in reference to that time we gave you the couch from our TA and he had to move it with the truck. I got really excited when I saw you'd emailed me those comments, and I yelled out, "Sonia is awesome!!" and he was like, "Oh...is this Couch Sonia?")

<3! Any time. Also I'm sitting on that couch RIGHT NOW. It is still my favorite couch.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are finding my comments helpful! I would be happy to read any subsequent drafts, too, if you'd like to send 'em my way. I've been curious about this project since you started talking about it. :o)
