Thanks Susan.

Please continue Phillip. I can imagine a while book of letters. Unfinished stories of created characters that still want to be told even with open endings. Not everything needs to fully be understood or have final conclusions. Life isnt this way or at least not for me. Many questions will remain unanswered and stories could have so many different endings. I hope you’ll continue because I love to read you.

Thanks Zoe. I’ll get there with this one.

What an awesome and well written beginning, Phillip! It is made up of many characters and from the sample you gave us, there's a lot more to learn! Good luck Phillip, I'm rooting for you! ✨️

You can't leave us like this, wondering about Jack and Emily! I need to know the whole story, Phillip!

I really want to know what happens to jack

Jack is calling for his story to be told.

The extract is as good a teaser as you could have.

I can already hear the calls.

Maybe it’s time?

Phillip Slater's avatar

Maybe, something is going to have to give soon.

Very interesting. I hope we find out more about the others on the platform, as well as Jack!

The past is coming to life — so yes, you definitely need to finish this book. I would like to read it.

Thanks Phoeby.

I agree with Wildwood Writer. You should finish off your story. I myself would like to read it. Like yourself, I have attempted a few novels and are now sitting on my desk, waiting for a visit from me. I have started a new one just over a month ago and I can feel it deep inside that I will no doubt finish this one.

That’s great Allan. Thanks so much for reading. These words are inspiring, good luck with your novel.

Hi Philip I don't know what to say, it's so authentic and caring I hope you can gain reconciliation

Phillip Slater's avatar

Thanks Bob. I appreciate you reading and sharing your thoughts..

Wildwood Writer's avatar

Thank you for sharing this. Your letter to Jack is honest, tender, and full of the care you clearly still hold for his story. It’s clear how much he meant to you, and how deeply you want to do right by him and by Emily. I hope you find the words when the time is right… your heart is already leading you there.

Phillip Slater's avatar

Thanks, even writing this letter has given me added resolve to finish his story. One day soon I hope.

You should!
