Regarding Mike Meginnis'
"Drowning Practice"
It's sweet and profound with real people in it. I'm in September.
I didn't write nearly enough about Drowning Practice, but I loved these people with their troubles. Contrast with this back-link from Spin (https://newforum.droqen.com/index.php?msg=2876), which inspired me to write "Give me back Drowning Practice. Give me some good characters I can relate to in their entirety, not these flat people, confined to their boxes."
