normally I overanalyze "how will this person receive my pedantic correction and should I therefore (95% probability) just let it go", but with authors the rule of thumb is "obviously they want to know in order to improve the opus".
I literally just finished a rewatch of Doctor Strange today! It's a classic.
Oh, I don't like Tucker. At all.
As to the problem Judith identifies with her intended meaning getting twisted into inaccurate knots of misunderstanding between her and the listener's ears, yeah, yep, been there, done that, got the t-shirt, although I don't know that I've ever seen it identified so precisely before. Very nice!
“Tim had given Judith his weathered, waterproof jacket and laughed at his rain-drenched shirt with a good humor that Judith never would have been able to conjure had she been the one who was soaked and bedraggled.” Tim in a wet shirt! Ma’am, that was a missed opportunity.
So I was right, but I didn't really want to be right because oh boy, how do you even go about finding an occupational therapist for unintentional psychokinesis?? Let alone funding? I think about these things.
I do feel for everybody here (maybe not Tucker, so much) but Ernest is especially touching and interesting to me. I'm glad Judith is getting her socializing practice in (kind of?) and finding people to help.
> What you’re describing is telekinesis.
Telepathy.
Thank you! I knew I would mistype those at some point! 🤦♀️

Absolutely! I’m always happy to know about typos and inaccuracies!

Thank you, Michael! That may have come a teensy bit from personal experience. 😅
Btw, started Down in the Holler and I’m hooked right away! Beautiful writing!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it!

This honestly did not occur to me until just now. 🤣🤣
You’re just gonna have to have it rain again… ☔️🕺🕺☔️🕺☔️
I guess so! 😂

I love Ernest too! Poor Judith really does need consistent “socializing practice”, but she’s getting there. 😅
