darn good, dwight! (Reply to this comment)

I did enjoy this and think you should try sending it out. The only thing I would tighten up is the beginning of the middle part, the descriptions of the men are distracting to me. I guess I think less description is more and prefer to show character through dialogue rather than telling readers about it. Which you do, of course, eventually. It's a great story. Thanks for sharing it and good luck!! :-)

Thanks, Marcy - there's no one to "farm" it for me, so the answer's no.

Thanks. From someone with the endurance to write her own novel, that's a real complement. Hope to see you again soon.

Oh, I toned it down for the faint-hearted. A little bit, anyway.

Thanks for the read; hope you stop by more often.
