Geez, I really feel like, as a writer/reviewer, I should be able to say something more brilliant and helpful to you with every new chapter besides, "OMG!! I love this book so much!! You are immensely talented." Seriously, though, I honestly do absolutely LOVE this book.

I cracked up over, "it's hard to kick ass and be a force to be reckoned with when you're clutching a towel over your tits." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Truer words were never thought! Miranda is spot-on with that one!!

I also love the way Miranda is so extremely sweet to Waylon as she reads his unanswered texts. How she plans to turn the storage area into a bedroom for him. The woman is hard when she needs to me and a marshmallow inside. She hasn't forgotten where she came from; that's for sure.

And Waylon! He's starting to come around a little bit, too. "Condom Lake." Hahahaha! There's a spark there that lets us know we're about to love him the way we already love Miranda. This is kind of a foreshadowing that they're BOTH going to be in good hands now. That feels so comforting and good.

Another absolutely delightful chapter. As always, can't wait to read whatever's coming up next, Miss Talent. xoxox

    I do look forward to your reviews. Not just because of the applause. You seem to understand how I see Miranda. You get the subtly of how she views things. But the applause is nice too. Lol.

    Lol. Miranda is so well written, I honestly feel like she's someone I know! Your character studies are phenomenal.

    I watch people all the time. It's fascinating. I look for all the tells, body language, posturing, eye contact. And I go by gut instinct. All of my characters are real people to me. Best advice I ever received as a writer was to know the backstory for every single character in your work. The reader doesn't have to know it, but you as the writer do have to. It gives them authenticity.
    And that's my writers tip of the day! Lol.

    I completely agree. On the novel I started writing on this site three years ago (Fixing Vincent), I even had back stories for the jurors. Anything less, and your characters are going to seem inauthentic. I also based them on people I know. X traits from so-and-so, Y traits from so-and-so. And I would write that into their descriptions in my character-description notes.

    It's funny how you can tell writers that don't. Sub characters are like props. Lol

Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted

I like the idea of Miranda deciding on fixing a room for Waylon. No, Dougie isn't coming back and if he does it's only for trouble. I really like this story. You're doing a good job with it.
