A damning review

anteros_lmcI was having a quick look over my Hornblower Remix draft this morning while having coffee. Daughter, who was wanting a shot of the laptop to play princess games, was peering over my shoulder and wanted to know what I was reading. I told her it was a story about sailors and she asked me to read it to her. So I chose a couple of reasonably innocuous paragraphs and started reading. Two paragraphs in and daughter told me to stop because it was "boring" and it was an "old dusty story". I am crushed! Crushed I tell you! I only hope the person I'm remixing will be a bit more enthusiastic about my creative endeavours. *grumble grumble*

You're not wrong there, she's usually pretty forthright in voicing her opinions.

Chuck in a couple of princesses and you'll be fine! XD
