And thanks for the kind words about my "killed darling," given second life. :-)<br /><br />Jenn: Thanks for your kind words. This was in the early 102K version of the novel. It was creating pacing problems, so I cut it. I'm not sure if it could be folded back in seamlessly at this point. But this is its second resurrection. I also spun off two sections as poems that placed in a poetry contest. <br /><br />Kittie: Thanks. It's a cutting room floor save from my novel, so there's definitely more to be read about these characters.Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-39219641057369270592012-01-07T09:24:42.510-05:002012-01-07T09:24:42.510-05:00Michael: Happy New Year to you, too.

Oh how I hated to pull it, but it took my novel's pacing to a crashing halt late in the story. I was ECSTATIC to give it life again.Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-62918883035609688452012-01-06T20:17:22.779-05:002012-01-06T20:17:22.779-05:00Great job!
