I’m glad to hear you enjoyed my book. It’s now out in paperback.
I also thought I would let you know that I run a writing blog, sentencesleuth.blogspot.com, where I post the daily Criminal Sentence and blog about other writing topics.
Bonnie

I hopped over the sentencesleuth.blogspot, Bonnie, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thanks for visiting here! I have recommended your excellent book to many, and I will be posting about your blog soon.

It really makes our contest meaningful when we can combine things that instruct our readers along with great insight. Posts like this do so much to remind me that I am still learning. I tend to write from someplace in my head without even considering. I read this, see the impact and think that I need more knowledge. Thanks for the info and again, Congrats on the WOOF win!

I wish every day was 32 hours long, and I only needed an hour or two of sleep. Oh well.

Of course, and thank you, for linking to my blog. I would also be pleased to hear any comments-advice on my adjective/adverb dilemma.

It rained all night, but now the sun is out. Life is good.

Hmmm… it seems that this will be yet another one of those must-read-before-the day-finishes blogs. As if I had a 32-hour day (sometimes it feels like I do)! Rainy here in London, too. Like you, I just had a nice cup of coffee this morning, my son is practising his saxo upstairs, my wife and daughter have gone off to a ballet class for the younger one of the two and the skies are about to erupt in torrential rain any time soon. And the two photos of your post have made my day. I will have to come back and read the story thoroughly, I just had a sneaky skim-through this time. May I put a link to your blog on mine, please?

Greetings from London.

Great to see you around again. I like the point you make about “diluting the subject with excessive description.” That is a perfect way to describe it. You are welcome for the advice, and thanks for saying nice things!
