'She sees herself through the bedroom window.'

Just a little something for Halloween. Sometimes my mind surprises me with how dark it can go.

If this is Tuesday, this must be San Antonio.

You'll never know if you're good at it until you try.

Look in the mirror and say that again and see if you can keep a straight face lol.
It's light saying I want to be a writer and never picking up a pen.

Here is a prompt:

The writer who never wrote a word and yet found romance

I am joking Aurthor but if you want to change direction in your life then grab your imagination and let it flood the pages.
You might even surprise yourself.

I write horror, sci-fi, fantasy, humour... but I read some romance to help me with loving scenes.

I wrote a few.

Sold a romance short and have a romance novella out there with a publisher who has asked for the full m/s (doesn't guarantee publication, of course, but it is a huge step).

So I say:

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of Greg's Story, and also for your frank, if somewhat unflattering view with regards to my ability to punctuate properly.
Your observation was correct about the piece being full of mistakes, although I will take exception to how and when I start a new paragraph. Mostly. But again you are right on that as as well. And with regards to the helpfulness of glowing reviews that tell you how wonderful the story is but don't mean anything. Although it is nice to hear that people do like what you write.

With all this in mind I dug out a copy of basic punctuation and re-wrote Greg's Story. Hopefully doing better this time.
I do want to thank you for taking the time and effort to try and teach me, even if just a little.
Aurthor.

Hi, I'm Mary Ann MCPhedran, and nice to meet you, You sound as though you're annoyed at the reviewer, but it's just an opinion and other reviewers may not see the same opinion. We all review differently don't e it to heart.

Finally got around to revising 'Greg's Story'. Now maybe I'll tackle that movie review on 'Lindsay's War'.

Goldfish- "How's Nanowrimo going?"
Me- "1200 words is 55 minutes" (Thumbs up)
Also Me- "3 hours for 276 words?!?" (Smashs face on keyboard)

Many thanks to the wonderful people who reviewed and suggested edits to:

STATIC

Scooby Doo and The Mystery Gang

(E)
A Chapter for an interactive story that was not submitted in time. So it stands alone.

This was supposed to be three chapters, tops. Where were the girls of the 127th when NaMoWriMo had me pounding my head on the table?

Not that you can see it, but I spent 2 hours on the 127th mascot giving the mouth a crazed grin, only to have it hidden by the wing structure in the final print.
