Please don't apologize about any changes you've made. My daughter also looked at it and apologized for her suggestions. Like I told her you don't dig up a diamond and place it in a ring. It has to be ground, cut and polished before being placed in a setting just as beautiful. I just dug up this story and have placed it in my story tumbler (love polishing rocks so just couldn't resist) and am waiting for the magic to work.

I've learned that even mean-spirited comments have some measure of truth in it. Even though this is my baby, it's also my job to show the reader what I see and if I can do it well that reader will. A rough draft like this has a long way to go and since I have no idea or maybe even a slight inkling of where I might want this to go, any help is appreciated.

I will be looking at what you've changed and deciding what to do about it. Thank you for taking the time to read and review this. I know what it's like and how long a proper review takes. I ALWAYS appreciate those which take the time to let me know what's great and what's not about what I've written.

Thank you, Mysty!
Gail

Jacquii, sorry about misunderstanding what you were saying. I'm having trouble with my thinking at times and I'm afraid that was one of them. Once my mind cleared I was able to understand what you were saying and glad I've decided to stop dying my hair blonde, lol.
