Please
Any readers. Leave a comment so I know what I missed. This cheap@$$ Android tablet running the all powerful and non-invasive Google crap won't open a simple rich text doc. Thank you.
I downloaded, then uploaded to kindle
I downloaded this, but was really hard to read. I decided to try uploading to kindle and after a few minutes was on my account. Perfect format there. Just started reading it - so far so good.
small print
It took me a couple of tries to get it readable but the results were worth the effort.
Yea the small print which is why I tried Kindle
I started to read it with the small print which- I swear I’m not that old, but I couldn’t adjust on my IPad so I thought I’d try another format and sure enough kindle uploaded it and it is really good in the Kindle app - just like something I would have purchased. As for this story - main character is older than me, but as a middle aged adult, I so do appreciate the story and how after a big change in life decides to go for it. I’m about 1/3 thru and really like it. Probably will finish it today or tomorrow.
oops

Lovely
So gentle---just read this in one go and loved it
Stats tell a story, but not the one you wrote..
Over just 3 days, more than 800 people viewed this title page. Some fraction of them probably opened your RTF file, and a tiny fraction of those (mostly users reading on large displays, not tablets or phones, I'd guess.) managed to read it. and kudo or comment.
HTML is bloated, complicated, and annoying, but it is the vernacular of the internet. Your work, no matter how well written and carefully formatted, will be mostly ignored by the internet if it's not visible as a web page, with reader control over fonts and formats.
Please don't take this as criticism, It is merely the way of the web. I am one of the 800 who never read your work, so have no opinion on it.
Agreed
I am one of those who opened the whole thing and read it, but it was awkward, and I used my laptop. What most of us do with longer works is to post them on here in chunks, which is far easier for people to engage with.
The walk was longer than it looked from her seat
Brought tears to my eyes. Nicely told Marge. I had to look up Floreat sero but it is quite apt; Gina was obviously inside for many years but finally bloomed. I liked how Elaine's words rang in Gina/Geoff's thoughts, how she told him to "let yourself have a season to be free" after she was gone.
The setting reminded me much of Christie's Jane Marple stories, I could smell the flowers, hear the crunch of gravel underfoot, and enjoy the peace of small-town English life. That said, it took me much longer to read this as I would doze off, perhaps a little tightening would not have hurt the storyline and seen Gina and Tom together sooner. Cover picture was great too.
Others have said sufficient on the formatting. I'm in the camp of those who simply want it on the webpage. Much as I too love and use Times New Roman font, the 11 point used in your RTF document was much too small for these tired eyes. The tablet allows me to zoom in on the pertinent parts of manuscripts so I can read with greater ease. I'd love to read some other work from you, suggest you ask Erin for help with your next posting to make access easier for all. Thank you for posting.
