Timothy M. Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 It'll be nice to have Jay's POV again. Decide on the title when you're farther along, Buddy... Farther along might be a nice title. 1 Link to comment
LitLover Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 OH--POV for this first part is our favorite farm boy, Jay. It'll be nice to hear from Jay again I agree with Gary..don't write to fit the title..come up with a title to match what you wrote Link to comment
ColumbusGuy Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Hmm, Jay seems to be popular. Maybe star billing does that? Got more great comments from Nifty readers, several have seen it there, and followed the link back to here and caught up with me already. What pressure! Two people guessed the location of the story, they lived in the area and had it from the clues given, and one said that is what drew him in, but he stayed because it's a great story. :blush: In the last hour, I've gotten up to 700 words, so it must be working using Jay...and it doesn't hurt that he's just ruminating. I'm not consciously aiming for 'Answers' as the title, but we'll see what happens before it's over. 1 Link to comment
ColumbusGuy Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Chapter 29 is at 2600 words...moving right along. 1 Link to comment
Headstall Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Chapter 29 is at 2600 words...moving right along. Looking forward to it... just not today. I haven't even started my next chapter... the last two days have been difficult. Happy writing, Buddy! 1 Link to comment
ColumbusGuy Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 3000 now, and no fear of it coming your way today, probably not tomorrow either, but I won't swear to that. Finally at the point of new ground being covered. POV has been Jay's to this point, should it stay that way for the 'secret', or switch to Mikey? Link to comment

My gut says a switch to Mikey... but I'm exhausted so I could be wrong, Buddy... go with your instinct 1 Link to comment

When you think of the surprise are do you see it through the person giving the gift or the person who is receiving the gift? Why does that sound like a euphemism? 1 Link to comment
ColumbusGuy Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 3500 words, and I cannot start thinking about switching the POV in the first part. Somehow, I guess part two has to work as Mikey. I'm not sure if we'll get to the study group, or whether Greg and Denny 'come out' to the boys as a couple. 1 Link to comment
Timothy M. Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Sorry about the spelling mistake in my review, CG. Busyed was supposed to be Busted. I can't wait to find out what the surprise is and why Jay had to get all dressed up for it. Is he getting his photo taken or something? 1 Link to comment

I think the boys should be coming out as a couple... that would be a hard thing to keep in... and to hide... even if you end with it Of course there's always the next chapter... Link to comment
ColumbusGuy Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 A good point, G-Man. I'm at 4500 words, and just now getting the boys out of school. Mikey's view is working good. I hope people don't mind that there's some introspection in this one. 2 Link to comment

ColumbusGuy Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 G-Man, think you'll be ready to read it tomorrow? I'm not sure how much longer it will go, so it won't be ready tonight. Link to comment

ColumbusGuy Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Just sent Chapter 29 to Gary, all 8,000 words of it. I don't know what to say, it has me more uneasy than any other I've written. The title isn't even set in stone. I'll post it as soon as I fix the things Gary is sure to find wanting. 1 Link to comment

Headstall Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 You have it back now, Buddy... check your inbox... it's great!! Link to comment
ColumbusGuy Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Gary sent it back on One Drive-scared me because that had to mean there were a lot of fixes...that's what I get for sending it all in one go rather than piecemeal like I'd been doing. It's fixed, like a naughty dog, and posted for everybody to read. Link to comment
Timothy M. Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yay, nice surprise to wake up to, I'll have to read before I go to work. Link to comment
