Hilary Green commented on the post, Woman Confused by Nika S 1 year ago
Hi Nika – I enjoyed reading this. The all too familiar uncharted territory of dating and not always knowing where the other person stands.
The one typo I picked up in the beginning was “She” raised “his” eyebrows slightly.
Thanks for writing! -

Very intriguing story Will – I agree that you could show more and tell less, but you kept me reading. Well done.

I enjoyed this story Juanita – I guess we all know that feeling on not getting recognition. I had a pretty clear picture in my head of the special day at the library.

Behind Closed Doors by Hilary Green

“Girls! Have you heard that Liam and Cass are getting divorced?” Jan couldn’t wait to share the latest gossip with Samantha and the rest of the book club ladie […]

So true in the world today, communication if done at all is done digitally . Well written I like the way we saw it from everyone’s perspective and how they dealt with it.
-
I really liked how this started with the responses of people on the fringe, the furthest out from the situation, and then works it’s way into the heart of the issue. I love how it changes perspectives and formats without being confusing in the least. I would have liked a more unexpected reason that hubs cheated. Yeah, men get bored, but I’ve known men to cheat because they have issues with feeling wanted by their parents that they carry into a marriage, or maybe they meet someone who shakes up their world in an unexpected way, or maybe someone is burned out on being in a partnership all together and realizes it without cheating at all? This was such a cool take on the prompt and artfully done. I definitely enjoyed it.

Hi, Hilary, I liked the way you told the story from different perspectives. This is so true to life sadly, one never knows what goes on behind closed doors, and it’s usually the seemingly happy couples who break up in the end, probably because they pretend that everything is fine instead of having a good argument to clear the air. Thank you for sharing.

Hey Hilary and howzit? A clever take on the prompt and a great illumination on how much modern-day communications are failing us. Amy’s internal monologue and sense of bewilderment is really touching. You open up Cassie’s and Liam’s real and remote drivers for us to see as well, a pity they both seem very blind to these or impervious to change. Cassie’s detailing her parents ‘not saying anything’ as a cause for their own divorce, then Liam repeating the same thing to himself is sad but felt inevitable. Well done with this layered, tough-to-read story, and all the very best. Seyi

“Your prompt is a sonnet”,
Said Mia to the team.
I tugged on my bonnet,
This one makes me scream!
“Sonnets are so out of date,
Complex and a bore!”
I groan with […]
-
Hehe! This was so funny and exactly my frame of mind right now. And you’re right; it rhymes so perfectly! Thanks for sharing.
-
Hi Hilary Am sure you could have channeled some of that clever rhyming into a sonnet format! Just for the fun and challenge – otherwise clever side step.
-
Great poem on a sonnet! A good laugh at ourselves.
-
Hahahahaha! Very good! Actually I love the sonnet form – flows like beautiful Renaissance music.
-
Hello Hilary,
Yes, all a sonnet has to be nowadays is 14 lines. So you nailed it, and rhymed it too. Well done. -
I love this–‘just write’ is right, and write you did. You have to know the rules in order to break them.
-
We were on similar pages! I had to come read yours after you said that about mine. I like that you were cheekier in your approach and skipped the meter entirely. Bold move.
