Your maid is a minor slip and will be forgiven because the writing is terrific.<br /><br />XXSuzanne Ross Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561888635304578484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907531483629509899.post-71210864312843730182009-11-10T11:59:09.465+00:002009-11-10T11:59:09.465+00:00I know it was a bad idea, in mitigation I was re-r...I know it was a bad idea, in mitigation I was re-reading because I wanted to jot chapter 2 down while it was in my head and needed to remember what I'd changed in 1!<br />It's nice to know I'm in good company though. LOL re the eye colour Heidi :-)<br /><br />Oh and those of you who read the chapter? You're off the hook, it was a last minute change when I realised something didn't make sense so it wasn't in the version you saw!<br /><br />Thanks for all the lovely comments everyone.Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619384647331952483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907531483629509899.post-47690600529090217402009-11-07T18:03:09.722+00:002009-11-07T18:03:09.722+00:00Lorraine, if it was wrong when I read it, I didn&#...Lorraine, if it was wrong when I read it, I didn't notice it either. I remember him (who could forget him, yum!) and the crystal glasses, but the dour maid's name isn't a big deal. Your story is great, witty, sexy and warm. If you don't believe me read a couple of moderns just out. You're first chapter is right up there, better than some, even. I haven't looked at mine. I never do once its sent, because I can't do anything about it. Still fretting though!<br />xSSally Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00126442284080778860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907531483629509899.post-68671215047640018282009-11-07T11:40:59.084+00:002009-11-07T11:40:59.084+00:00Much better to have your caretaker's wife chan...Much better to have your caretaker's wife change her name half-way through (and you not notice) than have her take over the opening chapter and be so prominent her name becomes really significant!! <br /><br />If she only got two nods they probably won't notice either. Heck in my last submission my heroine changed her eye colour twice and neither I or the ed noticed... Until the proof stage when the copy-editor picked it up!! <br /><br />The story's the thing! Now stop re-reading it and get on with something else... Says she who is currently writing blog comments instead of working on a book which is nearly two months late!!Heidi Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925778214874519424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907531483629509899.post-74562845717068051682009-11-07T01:32:10.973+00:002009-11-07T01:32:10.973+00:00(((HUGS))) You're sooo much braver than me Lor...(((HUGS))) You're sooo much braver than me Lorraine! You couldn't pay me to reread. I prefer to be blissfully ignorant of my mistakes (it stops me from grinding my teeth at night ;) ).

And yours is great. <br />BTW, you can shoot me because I didn't pick it up either. :-)Jackie Ashendenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564893115525415518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907531483629509899.post-74675809352493872622009-11-06T16:37:07.625+00:002009-11-06T16:37:07.625+00:00Hey Lorraine,

Still, I think you're ok since it's just a dour maid. :-)<br />Sri.Tara Pammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389082294309195445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907531483629509899.post-61895825201502821112009-11-06T16:34:57.556+00:002009-11-06T16:34:57.556+00:00Hi Lorraine - I don't think I made any blatant...Hi Lorraine - I don't think I made any blatant mistakes...but I did re-read my comp Chapter again....um. It read clunky with way too much backstory. Sigh. Ah well too late now. Take care.

So I do the chicken and hide away from it prefering not to know. I think I've always been proven right too.Sigh.<br /><br />Personally I think it's cos the flow is so good in your entry no one would even notice a mere dour maid. Try not to sweat it.
