hey dnm, the below comment was actually me while on another scribophiler's comp. oops.

I'm glad we agree on Nicholas Sparks, dnm. (I just saw your comment) ( :

Hey, I noticed we're both reading Brother Odd. Where are you in the book? I'm not very far in-chapter 6. I'm having trouble getting into the story, but it's been like that for me with the last 2 "Odd" books as well. I can't seem to get into the story because Dean doesn't seem to know where he's going with the series. My sis said she heard recently that it's just that-Koontz didn't know where he was going with the series until the 4th book, and he thought he'd need 6 books total to wrap up the story, but it turns out he needs 7. How are you liking the book? I'm sure you're much further in than me, so don't tell me anything, except how you're faring with the book. What do you think of this book and the series in general?

hey, take a wee break--you've earned it.

woohoo!!! BIG congrats on 30 stories!!!
wow--that's an achievement!
you gonna take a rest, now? go back and work on one of the stories? write something else entirely?
i'm impressed indeed by your feat.

Thanks for the recommendations. My sister also likes "In Odd We Trust," so I'll get it after she's done with it.

dang, aren't you thoughtful! thanks for the birthday wish, you sweet thang.
now, go! write like the wind, my friend! two more! you can do it!

thank you for your comments! I have made some revisions to warm it up a bit...would love to hear what you think!

I just posted a new piece, I feel it is a bit rough...would love your constructive feedback--if you get a chance. It's titled: strong enough to lean on.

There are one or two I want to revisit, yeah. What about you? Any of your (nearly 30 now!) entries you want to hang on to?

p.s. thanks for reading and critiquing my june stuff and "wist". it's always good to get more feedback, and you've probably had a ton of writing of your own you've wanted to focus on, so i appreciate it! and i'm glad you were mildly entertained ( :
