Not sure if this is the correct forum to send a message to Willowtree.

I reviewed your short story 'The Level of the Heart' this morning (Australian time). I didn't re-read my review before I did the test and it might confuse you what I wrote about Granny and the word 'good', I didn't mean that Granny was good (although she obviously is!) but that the word 'good' might not be exactly the right word for what you are trying to convey. It's fine but I wondered if you could find something that conveys the meaning better. Your Granny reminded me of a book a friend of mine wrote and published last year called 'Hell's only Half Full', a great read about her Irish grandmother (set in Australia). Hope you read this as I am not on the Forum site often. All the best Elise

Hi Elise: Just happened to catch this. Not to worry. I read your review a few times and understand completely what you're after. I'll give some thought to how to more imaginatively describe Granny's penchant for finding fault no matter what the circumstances or who the person! I posted a thank you in the thank you forum but, thanks again. Have a good one.
