RE: Read the Meaning. Comment With Meaning.

Twice read ... and by a writer as talented as you are. Tend is a bit of a waffle word and I do tend to waffle at times. I try to catch them and tell myself to 'get off the pot' and make a declaration to my reader. Let them agree or disagree.

AH yes, nothing like family drama to illustrate stories. I've held back from a lot of stories but as someone recently pointed out to me, if they don't want their story told, they should have behaved better. So, who knows, there may be more.
