HI!!! I was wondering what happened to you! *HUGS* Pregnancy's going fine, we found out it's gonna be a girl!
Yup, still working on IC & one other story that I will post soon...

Missed ya!!! Good to know you're still around!

Hi Dreamchaser,

Sorry it took so long for me to reply. I got involved with other projects.

How should the story end? Well it should answer the questions raised in the story itself. During the story, you raised the question of how to get other people to see those who are deaf as being just fine the way they are and the answer, becoming an interpreter, fits in with the story in my opinion.

The only issue I had was that nothing seemed to inspire the character to think of that course of action. I suggested maybe having the character view another person interpreting and getting the idea from them.

As far as how long the story should be, my thoughts are that stories are as long as they need to be to tell them (lol) but really the length is up to you and your goals for the story. If you plan to have it published or enter it into a contest, then sometimes the publisher has a word limit that you would need to abide by. You would need to check with the publication you are submitting to.

Hope this helps.

Hi! Long time no see.

Baby's fine, I'm currently 9 1/2 weeks along - got my first ultrasound, and it's a purty lil' peanut!

I posted the 2nd chapter (and I am NOT happy with it) so if you want to hop over and critique it, I'll be happy. I'm currently working on editing the 1st chapter using your suggestions - they really are very good!

Take care!

HUGS

Thank you Jeannie. We like the weather here a lot. I don't even really mind the heat. I hope we have another quiet hurricane season but we'll be pushing our luck.

I texted my dad your "The Truths You Tell" and he wanted me to tell you that he's glad he's not the only one who knows these things

Feeling great! Other than wanting to sleep all the time....

Hey, thanks for the critique I really appreciate it. I guess what I'm trying to portray in the poem is the normal every day human, that has freedoms. I'm trying to write this as a thank you note to some soldiers i have adopted in Iraq. I may not agree with the war...and that doesn't really matter, many of us don't, but that is not the soldiers fault. I'm trying to say that we may not think about our freedom and may take it for granted...even if we don't have as much as it as we think? I don't know ... it kind of gets sketchy at the end there lol. Anyways thanks for the critique.

Hey! I looked at your critique of I am and yes I do forgive you. I have given you some access to my story, Sinclair's Story! Enjoy and comment and vote on it! Take care

Hey!
Thanks! I'm really glad you liked my story. I read yours, too, and enjoyed it; it's not fair to say, though, that mine is more well written. I think that they're two very different sorts of stories, and that yours does what it does very well. ^_^

I'm pregnant! I just found out yesterday morning.
