    Hehe, yes it will be interesting, not even I know what it might be Thanks for all your encouragement!

    To be honest, when I started writing this piece I had no idea where I was going. I knew the style I wanted to aim for, and I knew the "dare" frame, but I was a good halfway through before I started troubling myself w/ coming up w/ an ending (okay, truthfully, freaking out about not having an ending ). It was a little scary for me, since Social Skills was completely planned out before I even began drafting, but I guess it worked out all right in the end

    Oh Andy, don't you have the most reviews for the anthology? Hush, your stuff is great and people love it. I know what you mean about the 'writing what the people' want thing . . . been thinking about that a lot as I get to the end of my first story. As a writer you don't wanna do the exact same thing . . . but you know that's what the readers are kinda hoping for . . . it's hard. Don't have advice b/c I haven't crossed the threshold yet But um I really like Purpose and as soon as summer break comes I'm gonna devour it

    Just fyi, there's already a thread on this-- Graeme made them for us. I think there's some posts there, too. I'm gonna read as soon as I'm done w/ the darn portfolios

    yay, glad you liked it I debated my ending for a while, but in the end a little openness seemed like the best way to go. This was a really fun one to write-- I guess it's good to get out of my comfort zone sometimes. Thank you for the review!

    I know, it's gonna be tough for me too ... well I did write a short story for the antho . . . Dare . . . but I know you mean a long one

    I kept changing my mind about the ending . . . I knew the tail-end dare would be sorta obvious but I guess I hoped the story would still hold interest . . . so glad you enjoyed it!Thanks for the review!

    Thank you I figured people might 'get' the ending, but I had fun telling the story along the way. Glad the time jumps worked, it's sorta a different format than I've ever tried writing w/ before, but I liked it Thanks for the review!

    Sara Alva commented on Sara Alva's story chapter in Dare

    Phew, so glad you liked it! The 'end' you're talking about was my true goal in the story-- the other bit was just a little icing on the cake (possibly--depending on what you take from it) Thank you for the review!

    I went back and forth w/ the ending, but I didn't want people to get annoyed if it didn't turn out as they expected. Tried to leave it just a little open Really glad you enjoyed the story, it was something different for me Thanks for the review!

    Good, that's what I was goin' for . Haven't seen the movie yet, guess I'll have to get on that.

    Lol. Thanks Anya Everybody loves Rebecca. Had no idea how popular she'd be! Yep, Connor is getting some cajones : P Is there a "lips are sealed" smiley? I was always told yellow roses were for friendship-- Jared thinks that, too, as I mentioned in a little scene a while back Lol, not kosher Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
