Enoch Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Welcome to the spot where you can discuss the story 'The Field of Love' Well, I've started my second story. I hope you all like it! 5
eminem313 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) As a baseball umpire, and a former player myself I REALLY like this one Edited January 28, 2015 by eminem313 1
Enoch Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks! I hope I keep it interesting and real at the same time.
Enoch Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 Another chapter (2) has been posted. Don't forget to let me know what you think.
eminem313 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 No comments? That's what I'm dealing with Anyway you know my feelings on it! Although something I didn't mention in my review that I'll say now I guess, I find your writing to be very "clean" (Like formal ya know?) and the 3rd person perspective is actually very unique. I personally was taken off guard when I first started the story but quickly saw how this POV provides the "right" perspective. 1
Enoch Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 I did a first person pov on T&T, and although I found it easy, in a way, I kind of like the pov I'm using in FOL. I can explored the feelings of more people, offer more insight, if you will. Time will tell if I can or can't be any good at it. The harder part is getting everyone to like the main character, that's my challenge.
JamesSavik Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 In my experience with team sports, if you can play, they'll love you. 1
Benji Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 ..............A great chapter that has a lot of insight whether intentional or not! LOL! 1
eminem313 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Dang it! I did a typo on my review and put Evan instead of Tony! Sure wish there was an edit / delete button 1
Enoch Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 ..............A great chapter that has a lot of insight whether intentional or not! LOL! Thanks Benji. It was what it was LOL Dang it! I did a typo on my review and put Evan instead of Tony! Sure wish there was an edit / delete button I knew what you meant. And I think sometime in the future you will be able to edit reviews. Maybe
JamesSavik Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Billy- I made this for you bro. Your story is... inspiring. Thanks, James
Enoch Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Billy- I made this for you bro. Your story is... inspiring. Thanks, James Wow James! That's an awesome poster/picture! And it's true. I really don't know what to say with this coming from someone that has inspired ME. 1
WestcliffWriter Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Gonna take a look at this, seeing this thread
Enoch Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 I hope you like it, when you get the chance to look at it. By the way, a new chapter (3) is now live.
Enoch Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 In case you missed it, a new chapter to The Field of Love was posted Monday.
LitLover Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 It was a great chapter Billy. I still have issues with that cop however. I come from a small town and have a job that sometimes gives me access to sensitive information about many people in my area. Confidentiality is a huge deal. Any breach of confidentiality would have me fired. My husband has no idea about what information I might be privy to. The police force should be under just as strict or even stricter expectations. That type of "gossip", even with a spouse could be enough to compromise any case against Evan could have the potential to have the case dismissed. If I were the prosecutor I would want to have that officer's head on a platter. At the very least he should be suspended. I get small town gossip but it would be terrible if this passed without any form of reprimand. Who in that town would ever want to call the police if they thought their "business" would be all over town the next day because some cop didn't understand confidentiality, especially in relation to a minor? Ok rant done....deep breath. I really do like the story! Lol 1

Ok rant done....deep breath. I really do like the story! Lol Thank you. I understand what you're saying concerning the cop and I understand your view of small towns. However, this small town is nestle away within the Appalachian mountain chain, deep in the hills of eastern Kentucky, where for most of the past century fashion and social norms were 20 years behind the rest of the country. I agree today, most of the tardiness of times has been eroded by the internet and other means of connecting to the outside world. But, most societal beliefs are still deeply rooted in faith. With that said, stay tune to what happens to ALL involved. This plot is far from over. 1

With that said, stay tune to what happens to ALL involved. This plot is far from over. I'm sure it will all work out in the end. The cop probably wouldn't even bother me much past grumbling about small town gossips, but I think my job makes me touchy about confidentiality issues. I can live with chalking it up to small town/big mouths though. I look forward to your next chapter. 1
