The whole story is amazingly enthralling and heart-warming and, courtesy of delightful little Evey, completely and utterly enchanting in every aspect. In particular though "The Glimmering" movie night scene was, for me, the most brilliant of all the brilliantly done scenes. To be able to and then to actually succeed so  convincingly in conveying such tenderness and sensitivity, both in your writing and, in particular, the way you have not only rendered everything, but most notably of all, Eve's breath taking eyes in the firelight as she sat in her Dad's lap has been a truly rare and, in my own personal experience, unique feeling for my heart, for me and hopefully for all who are fortunate enough to discover you and this absolute masterpiece. This is a truly amazing accomplishment.

You should be so very proud of your creativity, imagination, your capabilities and, above all , your sensibilities. You simply MUST, I implore you, follow through on this story to the very end. I am not a wealthy person, but I paid $30 for the pleasure of Chapter 3, because this, for me, is all I can afford to pay for a gift which, in truth, is, to me, absolutely priceless. This whole story will be, I feel sure, an experience I shall cherish and subsequently cherish with each new chapter right to the very end of this already pulsatingly heart-warming tale.

Please do your best to remain energised. Please continue to write all that your heart is clearly telling you to write and with the exact same warmth and sensitivity you have done so inspiringly thus far and please, please, please do continue to illustrate it, at the very least, to the stratospheric level you have already attained or perhaps if possible (although I have no idea how you might achieve it) even higher. There is no sky left to limit you, Jonesy...

Discovering this been the biggest juiciest, sweetest, most succulent cherry on my Christmas and New Year cake. Thank you so much, (Mr?Ms?) Jonesy for blessing me, and of course, us all, with Evey at Christmas! Stay happy, stay healthy and, please, stay focused, keeping that magic wand and spell book at your side at all times...
Happy New Year and, of course, roll on Valentine's Day!

Thank you so much for all the praise! I am not the type of person that accepts praise very well, but it does mean a lot to me, so thanks. I also really appreciate the donation. That will definitely help purchase more goodies for upcoming chapters/projects (this stuff gets expensive quick!). 

I really have tried my best to make the conversations feel natural and to convey through dialog, thoughts, and actions how much the characters truly love each other outside of the naughty stuff they get into. I'm happy to hear that I succeeded with that on at least some level.

I haven't written the script out properly for chapter 4 just yet, but I have a collection of ideas and directions I want to explore. At this point though, it seems like the characters are calling the shots. I'm just  going to start rendering and writing and see where they lead me. I'm sure wherever they take us, it will be a fun time that will also get you right in the feels. Until then, be safe!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

With me, criticism or praise is generated purely on merit and to the degree to which it strikes me. Both are always earned, never volunteered, no matter what the benefits or inducements.

Anyway, as I said before, for whatever reason, "Christmas Eve" has totally spontaneously struck a profoundly resonant chord in me, presenting as it does, a brilliant and joyous validation of two of my own deep-seated, personal beliefs;

Firstly, that "the heart knows no bounds" and my own (here shared) assertion that, behind closed doors and exclusively between indisputably consenting adults, it should not be required to either, regardless of human society's futile artificial attempts to restrict and suppress it.

Secondly, that in the very best of novels, story and characters are so well crafted that the latter, within the confines of the story structure itself, can, to a great extent, actually influence and dictate their own actions, interactions and reactions thereby effectively writing their own dialogue too. 

So, I'm really, really looking forward to future developments (no hurry...quality over speed always) with both fascination and, of course, no little excitement and by that I do not mean solely THAT kind of excitement. I am equally encouraged that you seem to be very relaxed in your approach. I think ideas and innovations flow more freely when the mind is relaxed, open and positively engaged rather than closed and narrowly focused and thereby pressurised predominantly, if not entirely, by expectation of results and their associated deadlines.

So, please do continue to "Keep Calm and Carry On", as my tea mug reminds me every morning and I'll continue, with each subsequent chapter, to donate what I can to help support this, my current favourite, cause.
