    Chapter 2

    Backwoods Boy commented on D.K. Daniels's story chapter in Chapter 2

    I read the first two chapters this morning. I think the format is both unique and excellent, and I like the way it is developing. Reading this is great fun, and to extend my enjoyment, I'm going to read one chapter each day, first thing in the morning. It will be a great way to start the day.

    Chapter 1

    Backwoods Boy commented on Geron Kees's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Spellbinding and superbly written. Thanks to @Mikiesboy and @BHopper2 for suggesting it. I never thought I would read a story about Zombies. I can't wait to move on to the next chapter.

    Chapter 4

    Backwoods Boy commented on WolfM's story chapter in Chapter 4

    I'm definitely getting into this story now. In particular, I'm enjoying the nuances of how each form has a slightly different character, personality, and level of self-awareness that plays into that of the other. For example: The trio of wolves ran off in the direction Ethan had gone. His scent was weak, but all three of their sharp noses could pick up the faint trail. To Aiden, it smelled heavenly. His wolf knew for sure now but was going to try and let Aiden come to the realization for himself. I hope that made sense. Thanks both for a splendid read and for an education on shape-shifting. I hope I won't be plagiarizing if underlying concepts show up elsewhere

    As the very new guy here (author 1154, I noted), I've quickly come to appreciate this site. I like the way the site is run, the sense of community, and the encouragement I have received from several of you, particularly @WolfM and @BHopper2. In terms of writing, I have a long way to go, but the learning process is being enhanced by reading some great work here. Thanks for making this opportunity available to all of us.

    Absolutely delightful! I envy your writing skills.

    I always loved that song, and the story is an excellent sequel.

    An excellent story. Thanks for sharing it.

    I'm reminded of your "wrong number" comment in chat a few days ago. It would lend itself very well to this format. First Line: "I think you have the wrong number."
  9. Backwoods Boy
    Thanks for all of the info. I'll go looking for the next three because they're fun and interesting.

    @BHopper2 From whence cometh these writing prompts? It looks like an excellent way to get out of a rut.
  11. Backwoods Boy
    Thanks for pointing out the sequence. I'll go look at the earlier stories. And I'll PM you tomorrow about the business of working with editors. Right now it's two minutes to midnight and Cinderella needs to hit the sack before the carriage turns into a pumpkin

    My first thought was how well you juggled so many characters. By the end, I think I understand the relationships, but my next stop will be the prologue. I also like the level of detail. And the conversations and relationships are so very realistic. I'll be reading more.

    Chapter 2

    Backwoods Boy commented on WolfM's story chapter in Chapter 2

    Once I caught onto the POV change, I liked how it was done. I'm writing a one-chapter thing that will probably only go on Nifty, and I suddenly realized that I was writing it with the POV of the wrong character (there are only two). That one change created a whole different story.
  14. Backwoods Boy
    Yes, a bit mad. I found myself laughing, and I wasn't sure why. The first thing I noticed is the detail that you get into such a short amount of prose. I love it. It required a second reading. Thanks for the break from writing.

    Chapter 2

    Backwoods Boy commented on WolfM's story chapter in Chapter 2

    Since I've never been into werewolves before, it's taking me a little time to understand what's going on. I'm going to go back over the first two chapters again. I think that will help.

    The Pick-Up

    Backwoods Boy commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in The Pick-Up

    Nicely done. I tried this once and was left with one distinct impression: It is amazing how so many words have so few rhyming companions.

    Chapter 1

    Backwoods Boy commented on WolfM's story chapter in Chapter 1

    I finally got around to starting on this. Sorry it took so long, but now I get to read your rewrite Having read your non-fiction, I smiled at the beginning. Start with what you have experienced and build on it with your imagination. Makes good sense to me. I'm looking forward to reading more.
  18. Backwoods Boy
    I cried while I read this one, and I don't cry easily. You did a marvelous job of putting the reader into your mind and Kyle's. This is by far my favorite chapter of your autobiographical material.

    Call me Daddy

    Backwoods Boy commented on WolfM's story chapter in Call me Daddy

    Like deville, the "like" button required some thought. What I like is the strength of character you show in sharing these experiences with us, in surviving, and in moving beyond such a difficult past.

    No Shelter

    Backwoods Boy commented on WolfM's story chapter in No Shelter

    So, I'm sitting here in my cozy home and it's raining like hell outside. A great time to be reading this - it really drives the point home.
