I know most of the songs but as most bagpipe music I've got doesn't come with the singer it gets my brain going coming up with the words & sometimes singing along & I work better doing more than 1 thing most of the time.
I think that extract from your book looks & sounds very elegant Jenny.
Thank you so much, Ann and Clay

I try to keep my writing elegant, sensual, and classy, even though it is erotica
It's o.k. Jenny. It is always possible to keep it elegant if you have the right vocab which you do. You do, however have to think about some people who may not have the vocab you do. When I was younger you looked up words you didn't understand in a dictionary. Not everyone will do that though. You don't have to be blunt like some are.
Thank you so much for that wonderful compliment on my writing, Ann. I really appreciate it

I still use a thesaurus when writing, to keep from repeating words. Sometimes another word just flows better, you know?
It's o.k. Jenny. Thank you very much for your appreciation. Sometimes you have to repeat words & sometimes re-iterating words gives a better effect. Yes, I know. I'd best not say too much as you'll think I'm arrogant as you're a pro & I'm not. Thank you very much for the advice.
Oh no, Ann! I am far from a pro.
You are correct, sometimes repetition is necessary, and works perfectly. Other times, though, another word may just make more of an impact with the reader. I guess it just depends on how it sound when reading it aloud.
You are too modest Jenny. I know.
I'm very grateful for the fact you & Clay are treating me like you pros & giving me the same opportunities though.
I am grateful that you are part of this Camelot family, Ann

I appreciate all of your support, and truly enjoy your stories and posts.
