    Chapter Two: Scent

    I like Clara. Grey seems to be all over the place, but she seems to calm him. The ending was especially cute.

    Lagging

    Interesting topic. I'm at the point where I can tell when something I'm reading is lagging, but figuring out why is still tricky. My sister will only read fast paced books. I'm a bit more forgiving. I've read some books that were slow movers that I was fine with. There are others that just dragged on forever. I think genre plays a part (romance and fantasies handle slower paces better than mysteries or thrillers) but...I don't know. I think it depends on where an author decides to flesh things out and where to scale down. Maybe it's an experience thing, because some authors do this well and others just drag on forever. It’s an interesting topic to mull over.

  11. It's hard starting again. Small victories.
  12. I grew up near that city. We had an Okra strut festival and played at the lake. Go pick on someone else.
  13. I've never gave Drew any trouble. He's treading dangerous waters.
  14. What did the place I grew up do to you?
  15. I had to tell my coworker what this song was about when she started talking about singing it with her kids.
  16. Man, that took me back.
  17. Bien, mais tres fatiguee. Merci!
  18. I mean, sometimes we gag on bananas too.
  19. Bring one for me too...man or woman, I'm not picky.
  20. As a fellow cat owner, this is 100% accurate
  21. Been there many a time, you have my sympathy.
  22. I'm having what she is having. Merci.
  23. My favorite number. I should write my characters in said act to celebrate!
