I like how this turned out. It may have been a bit more realistic if the judge had granted Orson temporary guardianship to be reevaluated in three months, but that wouldn't have been as emotionally satisfying, especially for Elias.
From the coverage, it seems Clay and Greg are getting more sex than Mason and Jeremy. That hardly seems fair.
Elias has a business proposition and that may actually go somewhere.
Orson has found recognition as well as purpose, two powerful motivators.
The campground could become more self-sustaining with a little business.
I'm trying not to remember the story so that it seems new, because it has freshened up and changed just enough to feel new again!
Hey, little squirts can't help it! Most experienced parents have a spare diaper that they cover the boy's package as quick at they remove the soggy/dirty diaper. And trust me if you make it a game, they will squirt every time, so don't start!
April can't understand that Jett is falling for the person, not the gender...but somehow I think he'll figure it out...eventually.
So many tantalizing tidbits makes me wonder where it is all going....It seems their powers are still growing even as they discover them and the white power moment when they all froze is a common denominator for the group. Much to consider and perchance to hope they can make it all happen the way they want.
Orson finds he is needed, Clay and Greg are getting hitched, Jeremy got loved by Mason and Mason got trucked. Elias may be on the road to healing as well.
Well done!
Adjusting to crutches and the loss of a leg is a long process and he still has the whole process of the fitting and learning to use a prosthetic. Frustration and disappointment with only some small victories will be his lot for some time to come. The physical and emotional cost is high and it speaks to their grit that so many actually make it.
Great answers which show every author's experience is unique despite the many commonalities of good writing. My preference is longer stories with long chapters. I have a short story on site and admit I spent more time on it than most of my longer chapters in my other two long stories. So for me brevity is harder.
My preference for a dry rub or marinade depends on the cut of meat. The better and way more expensive get the dry rub. Chuck steak gets the marinade. But to each their own!
