yeah i get you .. i feel that when i edit for people.. i can enjoy the read.. rather than needing my red pencil.  i'm not sure why that is such a problem for some authors ... who say they always compare and think about what they'd have done.  maybe its just me, but i dont compare...because its not my story.  i just enjoy what they wrote the way they wrote it. .. it's their voice .. why try to put my own in there?

Howdy, and happy Friday, DiC.  I met a friend of mine at the coffeeshop.  He helped me with my camera, got the shutter speed figured out, and marveled at the ISO (whatever the hell that is) on my new gadget.  I took the first three pictures needed for another project I've got planned.  Now I'm going to pack up, get to the house, and play around with the pictures I took.  Then it'll be time to write a thousand words or so of the next Silverwolf chapter.

I hear people say they wouldn't know what to do with themselves on retirement.  I seriously don't think I'll have an issue there.

[mollyhousemouse]

Sirs & DiC family

thought i'd follow up with all y'all. yesterday it was like everything was in slow motion & scattered. Michael Sir and all the rest of you were so supportive i wanted to thank everyone from the bottom if my heart

today is much better, i have things well in hand & was able to execute my plan well.

thank you

The first time I read a chapter, it's for enjoyment, with the remaining read throughs, some up to 10 times, are the red pencil. I agree 100% with you, on someone trying to put their voice into your story, and hope I don't do that.

thanks  Reader, i am glad you are enjoying the story.  While i believe, as AC taught me, that chapters are as long as they need to be, i really hate long drawn out postings. i hate it.. it just takes too long ... and this story is about 46,000 words but it is coming to you in 8 chapters.  i have other writing to do and posting these, well.. it takes up my time.  That sounds awful but i just like to write.  LOL

i have private joke that people ask when am I going to retire and I say “what and be a Walmart greeter” so if you retire someone will ask you to babysit the house / cat / kids / help them out you will get be so busy you wished you could go back to work.
