Finished chapter 34

well, the flow. I still need to wordsmith and polish and with my mom coming for her visit Thursday, I will have to get a move on. So not much to say today, except I am pleased that I have not lost readers! I am more than pleased since I always feared the worse, but then what writer does not. We are a strange breed of people. We love our stories, we want to share our stories and at times we are astounded by the comments. I love all comments, regardless of content.

If someone is willing to write a few words then that means I have reached them even if it is different than an atta girl. In fact, I love the atta girls but I love the ones that feel I have misunderstood any of the characters or have not given them their just due. Why? because I can see the ending and I find it fascinating to follow how others see each chapter. I have known the ending since before I wrote the first word. Which means, I understand some of the sentences that my readers do not. they are important.

Realelegance picked out a particularly important paragraph just yesterday. It was from a few chapters ago, too. But she recognized there was something in that last sentence she should be aware of, or be alarmed about. Very astute in identifying the paragraph because it is a clue.

Sorry, I like to drop my clues in a sentence here and there and while a reader may gloss over the words, they will live in the subconscious and will softened the surprise when it happens. Yes, realelegance found one of my sentences. Now were there any in this week's post? mmmmm. Yes I think so. But I will have to re-read the chapter to make sure.

off to clean out my bedroom closet, change the sheets, wash the clothes, dust, sweep, vacuum, scrub my bathroom, and otherwise prepare for my mom's visit. lol I may even clean my desk.

till tomorrow and happy reading.
