I can't over the whistling right at the start. Love it!

Oh Ome Carlos! you do bring us the best tidbits. Even I think he looks like a child... on the other hand, such thighs!

We helped! Feel all deeply satisfied now knowing that. Good luck BHopper!

oh, you'll just have to wait and see. you know these big strong types... sometimes they just have to feel a little vulnerable. thanks for the lovely review xx

Me either bud. I try not to worry about it any more - it works for us, eh? As for keeping track of things, I am a notebook kid. I love nice smooth paper and fancy pens. So I keep notes of character descriptions and features, bits of scenery, street addresses. Things like that. On the other hand, I can happily write 20k without making any notes whatsoever, like with Apprentice.

you're gonna love Bageerah when you get to meet him in D&R! Oh! there's so many things I can't tell you right now!!!

that's about the long and short of it, yes. Feelings make every touch and kiss that much more important. Add that to Jian being the only guy Emmett has ever bought home and you have a lot of tension. Plus if Emmett's reading the whole thing wrong, there's not a lot of way's out of Mooseonee over the Christmas period...

thank you. Strong foundations are important, especially when you weigh as much as a healthy polar bear! I hope we keep you entertained, and thanks again x

ice fishing for the win! I'll say again what I said with Falling For A Bear - kissing wild bears is not recommended... we like you alive Carlos.

thank you! I figured they deserved a little break from heartache.

He's being cautious... and nice. He's a nice guy. Nice guys don't just jump their best friends like that.

oh yeah, the guys from D and R are miserable right now. Whenever they're awake, anyway.

oh the temptation to get him on a snowboard during this story was very very high. trust me though, he's excellent at it now. lots of practice. glad you like that the guys are taking their time, but don't be too down on love at first sight... though I do tend to head towards lust at first sight!

I fall somewhere generally between 2 and 3. My work is very character driven, and generally characters come complete (for me at least) with their own introductions and first scenes. There fore I tend to get a couple thousand words down, then I’ll usually stop and make some notes (sometimes very very basic, sometimes with a bit of structure depending on how long I think the story will end up being), and then I just free-write from there, often through and around various single line ideas which occur to me whilst working (or walking the dog, or in the shower, or cooking dinner) until the characters decide on a conclusion. I never, ever, start a story knowing where and when it's going to end. mostly I get a chapter or two of warning before my fingers type the ending out. Titles come, or they don't, but I certainly don't need one to get writing. The only times I've written a story out of order, doing whichever scenes were there and filling in later, they've both been awful and I've regretted it afterwards.

aren't we just? And the proms 'won' this week, which hasn't happened in ages. Just look at all that shiny new reading material; how could anyone have time to get bored?

*facepalm* is going to be a theme here, I can tell. Ice fishing is fun though, see?

Emmett woke, yawned, stretched, and rolled off his bed, taking the duvet with him. He rose blinking, onto all fours, and the polar bear took a deep breath through his black nose. Home smelt different: and his room smelt of Jian. The memory of the tiger lying on his mattress was blurred by the dream Emmett had told himself – nothing sexual, just he and Jian walking in the snow, hand in hand – and by the beautiful vision of him standing out in the snow, lit up in vivid colours by the dancing of Th

It was sweet, and I liked the concept of Kelly and Martin sticking them together in the escape room to et everything sorted out. Oddly, we have friends who are a Kelly and Martin too, I did their wedding cake a couple of years ago. Couldn't help but picture them in this.

Yes ma. I'll email you xxx
