Feedback is so important and much appreciated. Ceinwen, your last story was really good and the writing style much more relaxed. I look forward to your next one.<br />Mike and Dallas, writing would be pointless without having readers, so a heartfelt thanks from those of us who like to write; we need you!.<br />Brooke, as with any other craft, the pundits have differing opinions on what is acceptable and what not. I find that if one thinks too much about the process, writing becomes stilted so prefer to give ideas free expression and only later revise, altering and pruning. I agree with you that adverbs have their place in writing. Along with adjectives, they give life to a story - so enjoy those you use!<br />Best wishes to all of you and enjoy your warm weather ... it's so cold here this winter; worse than any I can remember.<br />BerylAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-36755124016498157292015-08-08T17:06:29.306+01:002015-08-08T17:06:29.306+01:00My rather pedantic tutors are always telling me - ...My rather pedantic tutors are always telling me - dully - to 'lay off adverbs', but your lively witty, galloping style would not be the same Beryl without your wonderful circle of characters expressing themselves, 'grimly, tearfully, or loftily'. So long live adverbs say I, and thanks again for another intricately-plotted and sparkily-paced story!
