I dislike the hyphen before "and." Also you use "it" twice. Perhaps play around with the wording and simplify the structure? The symbolic scenery is very good.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-91773200891172084192010-02-16T23:35:43.298-05:002010-02-16T23:35:43.298-05:00Reb, It just seems fitting to life.
Alyssa, Thank...Reb, It just seems fitting to life.<br /><br />Alyssa, Thanks to Scott D. Parker, I read the list Doyle made in 1927of his favorite Holmes stories and HOUND was not in the top ten. Though, “The Speckled Band” and “The Red-Headed League” made the crème de la crème (tops in my opinion too), HOUND didn’t make the list and that’s somewhat surprising.<br /><br />Cloudia, Dobar dan!<br /><br />Simone, My thoughts exactly. I have a few old graveyard/cemetery pics in the way back machine and will bring them forward again at some point.David Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749857752139212888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-35109987072140946232010-02-16T21:33:51.927-05:002010-02-16T21:33:51.927-05:00I love Cereteries and find the idea of an unkempt ...I love Cereteries and find the idea of an unkempt one something of a delight for usually they are immaculate almost sterile.<br />Two very good sentences.<br />Warm regards,<br />SimoneThe romantic query letter and the happy-ever-afterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382165250238920938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-30311622112593483232010-02-16T16:40:01.708-05:002010-02-16T16:40:01.708-05:00Both excellent.
