It definitely doesn’t have to be horror. I’ve been considering a comedy about a gay flea that gets kicked off his dog, runs away to a flea circus, and falls in love with a spider. Heads up, it won’t be a happy ending for one of the main characters.
I'm not sure if Jake is hesitating to fight back laughter or because of simple disbelief. As I was to find out, it was pretty rare that an almost fourteen-year-old boy wouldn't know about jerking off.
"Sorry. I got caught off-guard with that question. Um, it's hard to believe a fourteen-year-old doesn't know what that is. I guess that's why you prefaced it with it potentially being silly. It's actually more sad than silly."
"Well, if it makes it any better, I won't be fourteen for abou
Thanks. I don’t think I felt skewered, just concerned because I disappointed my readers. Yeah, some prefer the original ending, and some hated it, especially pertaining to ‘Rocked to the Core.’ Hence the heads up in this one that there were two disparate endings.
I had a suspicion that maybe Lucas forced Owen to hand over his phone to send the message himself, but re-reading that piece, it doesn't sound like that's the case.
How far away does dad live? If he's in another town, maybe Neil can go live with him and change schools. Yeah, he'll miss Sammy, but they can keep in contact outside of Lucas' purview.
So, mom knows for sure. Dad has been called in for the rescue, just in time it appears. Two weeks away from Lucas and his minions could make a huge difference in Neil's life. Not likely, but hopefully Lucas got a longer suspension, or better yet, expelled.
I'm afraid for his grandmother, with his temper, Lucas could do just about anything if she tries to discipline him. Although a simple assault with no real damage sending Lucas to juvie might be the best solution.
Yet is correct. He will learn and use much better cuss words over the course of the story.
Thanks for the kudos on the name. Ancestry.com may not agree (8% Italian my ass), but I like using Italian names being 3/4 Italian myself. Others that I've used in the past, is Arturo Lamonica, and his father Luigi (Louis) Lamonica. Carlo Marini, I suppose the list goes on.
I still have emails of your comments on other stories on that site, so it is very possible you read this one as well. I'm the same way, I can read books multiple times and things may seem familiar during a subsequent reading, but overall, a lot of details seem new.
The Italian spelling police may very well be on to you though. The proper spelling is capice.
They make 1x3's? I've heard of 1x6's, and I suppose that would hurt more, if not permanently damage.
Yes, resist. I hope to move reasonably quickly. Even my standard every 3 days will make it 9 weeks to the end.
