“A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions: 1. What am I trying to say? 2. What words will express it? 3. What image or idiom will make it clearer? 4. Is this image fresh enough to have an effect?”
-George Orwell

@381missy Yep, sorry it’s taking so long. With the holidays, I had lots of work and family—just a circus. Finally now catching up and writing as I type this. :-)
Snow blankets the ground, but the snow leopard’s dense coat and furry footpads keep it warm. ❄️

@muffy716@IsaVillaGarcia@NorthwesternU Lol the fact that you think I’m British. I’m not. I’m an immigrant who is no stranger to discrimination and who moved to another country and I made damn sure I studied their traditions and rules, without expecting anyone to teach me anything.
@381missy There are actually two final chapters and one epilogue. I’m debating whether I should show the wedding. Some readers really want it. What do you think?
@muffy716@IsaVillaGarcia@NorthwesternU Yea, right. Kate and Will and Charles always curtsied to the Queen. And she was meeting for the first time. Shame on her for being so entitled that she thought it should be different before she ever met and for showing zero interest to ask about the manners in the first place.
@RachFearon91 They may be ridiculous but they’re the customs and you need to respect them in their home. She sounds so clueless and like a brat whinging about that. Obviously other bad things happened to her—focus on that—not on this. It’s their home. They have that right.
@IsaVillaGarcia@NorthwesternU Lol, right?! That was ridiculous. I’m sure she experienced things that hurt her but to sit there and pretend you didn’t know how to curtsy when you’re an actress, had an international studies degree, and lived in BRITISH Columbia is BS.
@381missy Hmm, I wonder why the blog wouldn’t let you… do you follow it? I’ll check. I’m hoping to get to the next one a lot sooner now since I have a couple of days off work. :-) These are my only two books. May start another one when this finishes from this universe of characters.
@381missy Not yet, there are a couple more, and one is coming up this week. I think you’ll love the gift. Thank you so much for liking it. Hope they were good tears.
