I have a question for you, Cindy. If a man from Michigan is a
Michigander, does that mean that the proper term for a woman from
Michigan is Michagoose? If so, would more than one woman from
Michigan be called collectively Michageese, or Michagooses?

That's what I was about to say, Bryan.

If Stevers wants to know about my sex life/history, he should try
Snopes.com. That's a pretty reliable source.

Yep, it was me and thanks for posting. I'm almost finished reading. Give
me another day or two then I'll get back to you.

Ok Bryan, I finished reading through that this morning.

Here's my honest review:
You have a good writing style. The conversations are well written.

My problem with your book is that it consists of nothing but
conversations about feelings and emotions. You have no good story included.

It reminds me of a soap opera script or a reality show that concentrates
on feelings and emotional conflict between the contestants. You're not
really telling any good story.

Don't get offended. I'm just giving one persons review of what you've
written. I find it very boring. You could do better. If you want to be a
successful writer, don't quit now.

Next time, start with a good story idea. Build your story around a
conflict, fight and conclusion. Make it a good one that holds the
readers interest. The personal conversations injected come later and
should be kept minimal. That gives the reader a clue about personalities
(important to a good story) but shouldn't be the entire story.

IMO, to be a good writer you also need to be an avid reader. Identify
the books that you like and why you liked them. Copy that writing style.

Also, in most cases it's best to write about something that you're
familiar with - either in real life or well researched.

You accept all Trump's lies. You are of inferior intelligence. 2 rounds to
your head will improve things.

2 rounds to your belly would leave many some time to interview you about
your treason to America.
