Getting the readers' panties in a twist

I like to stir them up. But this time, for chapter 26, I will give them...Darcy! All his thoughts all the time. lol Well, the new scenes. I will write the chapter from his POV. where I used Rawlings a couple of times, this time we get to hear what is rattling around in his brain. We get to view how everyone acts around him from his pov. What does he think of Elizabeth, Rawlings, Kent, Caroline and...yes, even, Bingley! lol I did add a couple sentences of what he suspects there!

Chapter 27 is the ball so this chapter with the added scenes, sets it up a lot better.

Getting your readers panties in a twist. l love it. Sometimes I wonder how to get the young girls throngs in a twist and my mind goes blank. I suppose it is because I do not wish to create any sort of image of that! lol But that is symbol on modern day life. Young women do seem to need more than the regency romance opting often for the graphic display of, well, everything. Where have we gone too? Is this better? Is is equality? Should there be this kind of equalness? I do not know but we can never go back.

Now getting my panties in a twist is harder to do. Steph just sent back Chapter 24 and there is more red in it than there is in the color vat at Crayola. lol I am a weird person because I actually like getting the red marks. I look at each one carefully trying to understand so I can improve later. Well, there is a lot for me to understand. Good gosh, she can certainly find the better word choice and I wonder if I looked at sentence structure at all before I sent it to her.

Looks like my day is clearly mapped in front of me - I need to get into Darcy's head for Chapter 26 and into Steph's as I revise Chapter 24. I am so thankful to Steph because my chapters sent to Heather and DebraAnne are less embarrassing!
