Hey, Nicole! I'm so sorry I didn't reply to this sooner, but I was SO busy yesterday and then SO tired...lol. Anyway, you are so right! You have made vast improvements to your writing style and skill over the past year. It's an awesome thing to see and it goes to show what the support and encouragement of communities like this can do, through feedback, etc to help one's skills, as well as enthusiasm to rise. Congrats on a job well done! |

Yes! I totally agree with everything you have said, especially the support part.  Don't worry about the lateness of the reply. |

I'm surprise no one else has commented on this.  Come on people, get yer butts in here and encourage and praise the girl! If you don't know why you should, go read one of her first stories, and then trek on over to 'The Early Life' and make some comparisons. ;D |

Lol! I remember that first story! A very big improvement, Nicole! Isn't it fun to look back to when we first began writing and compare? I just cringe when I see some of my od stuff come back to haunt me! Your story ideas were just as good then, but the way you convey them is much more clear and precise.

Aww, thanks Tina. I'm a little embarassed of my Recessives... The writing is SO bad, lol. It does make me cringe a little. I'm glad we all had that stage, Jilly. And that you think my story ideas were just as good then. |

Don't say that, I liked your Recessives. Sorry I'm not reading the new one you have going Nicole, I've got enough on my reading list and I try not to have too many serious stories to read at any one time. I prefer comedies or challenge stories and from your blurb it sounded like drama or horror. But I'm sure it's well done.

Thanks, Jo. It's ok you're not reading the new story, it can't be every body's "cup of tea". It's more along the lines of drama... And features the early lives of a few citizens. |

Oh no Jo, it's not horror at all, unless you consider cheating husbands and ex-girlfriends stalking said husbands, horror! She's writing it in VERY short... TOO short actually...lol, chapters that are easy and quick to read. So, if you do get a chance to read it, it's worth popping over to have a look. It's very good! |
