The glory days of the uterus
Before Max was born, he wrote his first novel while in utero, scratching the words out on his mother's womb. He loved his writing environment there. It was safe, warm, and cozy, and with no worries about food or work, little Max only had to write. Then to his dismay, he was born, and he lost his first novel. This short story is about Max trying to remember that first book he wrote, trying to recapture that special feeling of his first work and the unique way in which it was created. According to Max, he hasn't written anything good since his uterus days.
This is a smart little story, very much funny and tongue in cheek, and also a little poignant in some ways. It captures a writer's need to create, his urge to put pen to paper, and his very real need to use words in such a way as to define life and somehow give it meaning, from beginning to end.
THE WRITING ON HE WALL...This one you will not want to miss.
This little short story is one of the many (actually, one of the most important) reasons I love my Kindle and e-books. This little offering by Theresa Weir was a delight from the first sentence on. What a creative mind Weir has.
The other reviewers here have given a very nice little rundown on the plot so I will not linger long on that aspect of the story. Max, while in utero, wrote his first novel on the wall of his mother's uterus. Then, as bad luck would have it, he was born. Max spends the better part of his life in remorse having lost his novel, and trying to recapture that magic time.
I found myself chuckling several times and actually laughing at least twice while reading this thing. The tongue in cheek wit is catching in a subdued and subtle way...the author uses perfect timing when she uses her "punch line." But, as other reviewers have pointed out, there is a certain reality at play here and we get a very nice peek into the inside of a writer's soul...if that is what you want to call it. I was amused during most of the book, yet just a wee bit saddened and concerned at the same time.
What ever the emotion, Theresa Weir most certainly knows how to tell a story. There was not one thing about this entire tale that I did not enjoy.
These short stories that you are able to download at any time are wonderful. They have taken the place of the old magazine giants of decades past, where a reader could plunk down some change and for relatively little money, have a very good reading experience. The days of those great old publications are long gone now and they left a horrible void for those of us who love reading. This void, to a certain extent, is being fulfilled now and I personally feel we are going to see many more quality reading made available to all of us.
Trust me on this one folks...it is most certainly worth the time spent reading...you will not regret it.

Well-written but a bit nonsensical
I can't fault the talent of the writer and the way Theresa's put it together. However the rave reviews leave me rather cold. There's nothing wrong with the story and I daresay that a lot of people will like it.
