Actually, literary prestige has little to do with with social class. Look at Rimbaud or Baudelaire! Actually, my parents were pretty bohemian. And for me, personally, yes, character is everything. Many don’t agree, and that’s fine, but I am asked her for my personal opinion, and I am giving it.

I do not wholly connect to the characters myself. Must we connect to them to want to read more? I would have thought, Ms. Jones, considering the prestige and standing of your family background, that at least you would relate to the social setting.

As for you, JDEvolutionist, I also find your comments interesting despite the grammatical flaws (not that anyone else respects the rules of grammar on this website) and despite the act of decipherment often required to make sense of them.

Then it’s tit for tat because I can’t figure out if I’m gladdened or aggrieved. Thank you.

Maybe I’m going to miss out on something but I was not that impressed with where this seems to be going – the scene in this contribution was interesting but it lacks, for me at least, real connection with what has gone before. I don’t see the character development taking place and I found it rather week.

I understand that you’re imitating a certain style here but I’m not connecting with these characters, still.

I can’t figure out if I’m hungry, aroused, or disgusted. Nicely done!

While I am writing I try to forget that the anonymity will come to an end for I would censor myself in innumerable ways. But in all honesty this is the part I most look forward to. I simply cannot wait to see my husband’s friend’s jaw drop!

What a marvelous twist you propose, Jodi, in your final sentence. I did not consider this for a moment but it may make a delightful twist in the story. I shall have to first wait and see what the next challenge/s bring.

Thank you. I assume this a variation on *clap *clap *clap which I am unfamiliar with?

There seems to be a lot of dessert on offer this week.

You have mastered this style and I know every week you put yourself out there Nora – because your true identity will be revealed at the end of the comp.

I enjoyed seeing prose not full of euphemisms … and have been left wondering if Arthur has really been playing bat and ball with his friend Richard.
