I have know idea what's working or what's not. <br /><br />I agree about Leesie's shaved head. I left that detail totally out of the scene. I need Michael to comment on how young she looks asleep in the sand with no hair (or something like that) and then have her put her hat on when she hears the guys are on their way. <br /><br />And be worried. Novels thrive on conflict. Whenever a character says something like Michael does at the end of this chapter, be afraid. It's my job as an author to throw as much in between them as I can.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767644921005073798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105487656463890103.post-85591335350711461372010-11-05T11:09:22.139-07:002010-11-05T11:09:22.139-07:00Dear Jo and Chaleese:

I can't wait to read what happens with their story. Thank you for sharing!<br /><br />I would also like to see where Michael tells the gang about Leesie's situation before they meet her. Another thought I had while reading was how self-conscious is Leesie about her shaved head? When she meets the guys on the beach, is she wearing anything on her head? I don't know -- a shaved head seems like a big distraction for both her and people she's meeting (not sure if that makes sense).<br /><br />I remember Michael being more hurt than angry when Leesie gave him the ring back -- I need to go back and reread that. And one tiny observation in the second paragraph: "before Christmas last fall" seems a bit redundant. :-)<br /><br />Loving this -- thanks again for sharing!Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266693294304210442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105487656463890103.post-22370707082822667892010-11-05T03:17:50.794-07:002010-11-05T03:17:50.794-07:00LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS!
