You can always count on your sister for a mean streak
Then she wads it up and throws it in the trashcan beside her.
Hammie did not really want her opinion anyway!
Is it comedic stupid or stupid stupid?
Amazing?
It’s missing conflict, plot arc, emotional overtones.An example of the shortest story ever eas an ad. “For sale: one pair baby shoes, never worn.”
I would think a scathing review by his sister is just what Hammie would want. Zoe would probably say it doesn’t have enough unicorns and princesses.
Can’t believe that Hammie would seek an opinion from Zoe, knowing it sets the stage for exactly THIS kind of disparagement. Which isn’t to say that what Hammie wrote wasn’t terribly stupid…
Now why would you ask her anything. Ask dad, he’ll either lie or make a joke about it.
Meh … What does she know?
It would be a picture book if Hammie could draw Doug.
Zoe can’t even be honest with herself, let alone evaluating something from others, especially Hammie.
What was he expecting?
You asked for honesty, what you want is specific constructive criticism. Or maybe you were going for artificial fawning praise.

Do you suppose he’s been convinced to write more than one word yet?
The truth hurts Hammie.
Tone it down.
Writers never want honest criticism of their work—-just praise.
Hammie, as my dear Saint of a Grandmother used to tell me, never as a question that you don’t really want the answer to.
“Okay, it’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever read.”
“…of course I haven’t read EVERYTHING so there may be worse.”
In all fairness you did ask Hammie.
When you want an attaboy always take it to mom first.
You just had to ask Zoe, didn’t you?
