I think the only person Lee was ever afraid of was Cora... for obvious reasons. She could have wrecked him down to his soul, I'm thinking. I think she's always had that power over him.
-
I'll take your word for it, as I have no idea who Amber is. lol. Jenny's friend I'm thinking. I think there's three girls who are friends in this story, and three guys - Andy, Keith, Jenny I remember bits an pieces about (not their names, you supplied them), but after naming them some of my memory came back. I'm beginning to think I'm one forgetful side-trip to senility not remembering this story...lol. I know it is an older story and I have no idea what happens chapter to chapter. I do remember the overall story and the larger plot points and some things that have happened and interesting dynamics. Specifics are lost on me though.
-
Andy was the name of the character in original story that I shifted from to write this one. Totally different character though. Keith and Andy... I just remember bits and pieces of them. They get up to shenanigans often if I'm remembering correctly. Friend group dynamics are my favorite kind of writing.
-
Hurdle?!??!? What Hurdle? 😮
-
Yeah, they're good friends. I know I tend to make similar characters... I even think some of them have the same names. Me and names... I can't sometimes. And I'm still confused by my lacking memory with this story. I don't want to read up, I'd much rather start from chapter one myself; for a break and fun reading. And yeah, I do remember moving Jenny on from CJ rather early.
-
Oh.. this is the chapter that Jenny punches Cj, I'm thinking. I don't know. I think? And yeah, that whole dynamic: Clinton/CJ/Corey... sigh.. C names, I know annoyed some people.
-
Yeah, bringing Greg back into the story was something that I waffled on a lot. I thought maybe his story arc was done in the beginning, but decided to write him back in later. Mostly because the original story idea, the character that would have been Corey kept going back to the Greg character, overlooking someone that was healthy and good for her. I don't think the dynamics of Corey/Clinton was ever that he was looking over his shoulder for Greg though... but it could have been that way. I decided to make the conflict go a different direction though... and Greg wasn't ever toxic really.
-
Good, because I was never going to. lol... for reasons. I kind of wish I knew what you were talking about specifically in this comment, but for the life of me I can't remember most of this story. I think spin the bottle was during the school break-in that kind of got invaded by people who had the same idea in mind. I don't remember a storm though? Maybe as they left the party before the cops were called?
-
Well, I'll take the W on that. lol
-
Aww. Have I ever made a character suffer? Readers yes, characters? ? hmmm..
-
I am thinking rather villainous thoughts at the moment.
-
How did that make sense? Reading it back to myself it made no sense... but I was trying not to spoil two things.. as you've not read the whole story yet. lmao.
-
Aww. I think if I was raising a Westley, I'd need something stronger than wine.
-
We'll see just how resilient he really is, or not. He has to move on from this somehow.
-
This made me laugh... lol. I struggled with all the motorcycle writing... I know nothing about them. I'm afraid of them to be honest. I wouldn't see that as a suitable birthday present for a child at all, but Cora got him one and his father actually went along with it... up until he didn't.
-
Well he sort of is, at least riding the bench anyway. I wonder if that would be worse than outright quitting? I was a little bit selfish as a writer when it came to the dog... lol. I know I feature animals a lot in writing... sports and animals.. hmm. Jackson didn't have a pet for a reason as well. The dog was fun to write, how she came to be in his life... I wanted to tell her story, because at least out here it happens a lot. People dump these poor puppies and think they can survive, or that good people happen along and they get happy lives. That is not the case usually...
-
Oh no... I remember being rather cheeky when it came to comments back in the day. Mostly because I didn't know how to answer a lot of them, thinking I'd spoil too much. As you were witness to with this story, I think. *whistles* Yeah, this relationship if I'm recalling correctly did develop rather fast. There is a reason for that, a bit intentional and unintentional, but I felt it needed to be a bit more fast paced within the story. I didn't want it as up in the air, because there was some wasted time earlier in the writing... for them, not for the overall story. This is a dynamic I wish I was a bit more words into before tackling to be fair, for reasons.
-
Yeah, I remember thinking, is this going too far with this whole dynamic? Knowing how I wanted the story to go... Cindy never did that - mind you, this story is older than TBY. And aww. I don't know if Clinton has good bedside manners or not.
-
Exactly. Although, he is only on Chapter 6... my chapter 6 not this chapter 6.. of editing. So he'd have to scramble a bit. lol
-
Uhh... next Friday or Saturday, if I'm to continue being an Angel. 'bout Tuesday otherwise, we'll see.
-
I don't how much math is mathing and how much splitting is going to happen in the future, but please.. please.. please do not wish 40 chapters on me. There's 25 on my end... and I know you're one of the ones that discussed chapter length in my forum topic so you're well aware at some of these massive word counts to come... if all of those end up being split...
-
Aww, this made me teary-eyed a bit.
-
Might be on to something....
-
It would be understandable if he does develop anxiety.
