Q I am currently working on a fantasy novel at my children's request. It is based on the stories I told them to get them to go to sleep more than a decade ago. I have let them preview the first 40 pages or so and they loved it. It’s not exactly unbiased criticism but I am proud to have fathered avid readers which was true in my family growing up as well. Due to their reading, they have learned to be discriminating, so their opinions are not totally invalidated by the relationship. So many folks now just hit a button and let images feed their brains without any kind of filter and they seem to have little or no ability to assess anything with objectivity. A Well, that's a time honoured tradition if ever there was one. I wonder how many classics started out this way? Sounds like a great project to be working on. Weirdly, I never told my children bed time stories – I read to them every evening, but making up stories when I didn't have to always seemed too much like hard labour..

I've learned so much. Thanks Phil."
