Further adventures in Surreality

Melinda's (further) adventures in Surreality Melinda shares a body with Belinda, a sensible, 50-something, middle class housewife and mother of two, but her soul is uniquely and eternally her own. Her role models are Lady Hester Stanhope and Ruby Tuesday. She loves cats, Jim Morrison, red wine and good cheese. She has never found a man to match her, and maybe he doesn't exist, but she indulges in romantic fantasies from time to time. In another reality she is Cassandra, but she knows she can't save humanity from itself, so as it ignores her warnings and hurtles headlong towards its doom, all she can do is watch more in sorrow than anger, and wish she'd shagged Apollo when she had the chance.

Just what I needed...

I got back my final writing assignment from my tutor today. The one I posted the opening to a couple of months ago, not that anyone gave me any reactions.
The final paragraph (of her assessment) reads thus:
'... you don't say whether this is a short story or the beginning of a longer piece. Although it does stand alone, I feel there is potential to enlarge it and develop it. The theme is engaging, the parallels between the lives of the two women thought provoking and I could quite imagine it expanded to novel length.'
Great. As if I'm not struggling enough with the novel I'm already working on.
