I wanted to tell you that one of your ...Hi McKoala! I wanted to tell you that one of your questions about my chapter, "does it have to happen in two places", made me take another look at it. It doesn't, actually. My reason for setting it in two places has been taken care of otherwise, later in the story, so there really is no reason why it needs to happen that way. I'm going to rewrite it with Chuck just going to Richard's office, rather than having them first meet in the bar. It will definitely pick of the pace of the chapter.

Not all the time, it depends on the character speaking, but I do it a lot. Elmore Leonard does it, and by God, I do it too ;-)<BR/><BR/>Hey, McKoala, I just wanted to say thanks for your comments on the crapometer. You've made several very encouraging and helpful comments on my postings there, and I always take your suggestions under serious consideration. Thanks for taking the time!Wonderwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13118126631519254865noreply@blogger.com
