| Lane, How can I possibly trust you to write a book for me when you slop along like that? No publisher will give a second thought to such indolence, such slovenliness--I am appalled. The book deal is off--Sorry-- when you become conversant with the English language , learn and utilize proper spelling and typing techniques, I will reconsider.

Leave it to you to ruin my book deal. I was so happy with it too. |

| Most of what we do is based on personal choice. If we want to do it, we do it. If not, then we don't. Of course, outside influences sometimes prod us making us consider options. I personally don't have a problem with people reading my WIP's. I do tend to be selective here. Most of the time when I post something it is because I want feedback. Feedback to me is opinions of someone reading what I wrote. I take them as such and either incorporate them into my story or disguard them.

You're correct, Alice. I can't be trusted to write a book on which your name would appear. It's altogether possible that a typo would transpose it to MAlice. If you have an iota of conscience, you'll grace my bank account with a generous kill fee. Even folks with ruined reputations have mortgages to pay. |

| Lane,
Sorry, I forgot about your mortgage and in-as much as your scalding denuciation of me was pefectly said, spelled and typed, the book deal is back on.
Feel free to call me Malice Alice Crooked Crooker--I like the sound of that. |

| Lane,
Where am I going to get the kill fee?
Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
It is simply poetic justice at work here. |

| I thiMk all this about the word brian is (to quote someone) rubbish...it's not that Lane has spelled the word wrong...it is simple to explain.
Lane has a southern accent. He simply spelled the word in accordance with his accent. Thus, it is spelled correctly. I thiMk. |

| Lane,
Sue me--it would be more fun that way.
Litigation is costly and iffy.
With Domenic on my side, I can't lose. |
