“Hi,
You don’t know me but I just wanted to say that I found your blog after reading an article about you some time ago.
I’m not a regular reader but I do enjoy your pieces tremendously.
Been meaning to drop you a note to ‘encourage’ your efforts, or at least to express my appreciation of your writing.
Thanks for posting them on your blog.”

“Ju-Lyn has a unique take on issues, but what I particularly like when reading is the simplicity with which she articulates these thoughts in her writing, which makes me look at things differently.”

“... a shout out to young writer Lee Ju-Lyn, who’s writing a book called Millie and Her Dreams. We stumbled upon her first independently-released collection of slightly off kilter short fiction a couple of years back and we’re betting she’s gonna go places.”

“Ju-Lyn’s writings never fails to crack me up and set me thinking at the same time.”

“I have been a fan of both your fictional and non-fictional writing for many years. In fact, you are the rare few that I know who can excel in both. I recall a time when I look forward to receiving your perfectly drafted career transition stories and how I was mesmerized by your ability to transform each and every interview into compelling stories without losing sight of the key messages.”

“Ju-Lyn’s vivid imagination is matched by a meticulous choice of words and concise writing style. She’s easy to work with, and always open to suggestions. ”

“I see a bit of Murakami and a bit of Kafka when I read some of your stories. I think it takes courage to strike out on your own path, especially in Singapore. So you have my full support as you obviously have a gift for writing :) ”

“If you can’t empty your mind, squeeze it well and you get Ju’s.”

“You have a way of connecting things that gets people thinking. Thanks for creating ripples in my mind.”

“Hi Ju-Lyn. I’m enjoying your book. These are not so much short short stories as anti-fables. You’ve the quirkiness of Spike Milligan and Edward Lear. ”

“When I received Ju-Lyn’s book, I had expected a collection of short stories. What greeted me instead was a collection of whimsical poems and quaint little tales that takes the mind on a side path through a forest of peculiar happenings. Ju-Lyn’s book is not for the everyman (or woman) but if you like romping through fantastical musings or the visual image of a fairy tale turned on its ear, then this is your cuppa to enjoy.”

“I liked the minimalist poems, like She 2 and Past Times... It takes more time and effort to think about your minimalist poems, but I think it induces a space to think, in the sense that it seems ignorable, but is more rewarding.”

“I LOVE your book, ‘All the people imagine...’. It certainly speaks to me. You have imagination and can capture it down, kudos.”

“Hi, I simply loved your stories in Ceriph Issue One. I picked it up from a local bookstore a few days ago and both stories stood out the most. As a matter of fact, Ceriph is knocking against my elbow now as I type this to you. I am most definitely converting into a loyal follower of your updates. Cheers.”

“Well done and ‘Emotional Blackmail’ creeps me out in a good way!”

“I like your latest blog, the story of “Kusudama Fairy”... I feel that your story had captured reader attention and make them continue to read. A very nice short story, i had fun reading it.”

“I don’t know why this appeals particularly to me, maybe its the childhood nostalgia when I visited AMK Jack’s place when I was young... it’s somewhat romantic in a weird way.”

“This short piece actually got me thinking a bit about other people’s lives as well on a weekday late night/early morning when I am suppose to be sleeping. I enjoyed the read. ”

“I love fairy-tale re-writes! Love how you made RRH [Red Riding Hood] take on so many kinds of formulaic thinking!”

“You write fantastic stories.”

“Hilarious.”

“I read this...and urm.....speechless.”

“It read like happy tree friends at the end! but how ingenious for a story.”

“Love it! Engaging and witty! A fun piece, a nice read.”

“Was just reading the couple of stories you had on the blog... the way your mind thinks is damn bizarre! In a good way. ”

“Love your chinese writings! Very poignant.”

“I love your 想你 series!!”
