But wait... there is more!

Today I post and Rawlings will understand that Cuffage is not who everyone thinks he is, but wait... there is more! lol I love that marketing trick. HOw many times have we watched a commercial and those words come glaring out? But wait....

Ok I am guilty of doing it often. I tease with a tiny bit of an answer only to add another question in the readers' minds. Yes, I am a but wait kinda gal. Today is another example of this technique. What is Rawlings thinking. and so far away from London! lol

There are a few more but waits awaiting my readers. That kind of tripped off my tongue - but wait awaiting.

vivid scenes. That was my initial title for the piece today. I may not be the best writer or the most grammatically astute one, or even the one with the best prose, but I do like to think one of my strengths is vivid scenes. I like to take simple words, such as depressed and show the person with drooped shoulders, eyes that frowned as well as lips and feet that barely lifted from the floor when walking. But wait... you have not read those words yet. lol you will but not today.

I like to describe things too such as the Meryton tavern - the old Black Bull Tavern. I wanted everyone to get a sense of the excitement so I used the tavern as a "character" in the story. I have not really done the same for Darcy House and when I revise the story I think I will elevate Darcy's home in the same fashion. I will make the house more vivid since the story really revolves in there.

Now I have to wait a little while longer before I post since someone posted at 8:39. I will give at least an hour and a half. So at 10:09 look for my post.

Hopefully, everyone will come back. I will try to respond to the comments quickly today because the rest of the week is busy, busy, busy.

till next time.
