A Great Read!

Vindicta leaves me wanting more?

Bravo Judy!

Thank you! Thank you for your encouraging comment and for saving this. I've actually written quite a bit more, but haven't been able to post it. My mom passed away a couple of weeks ago and I've been somewhat overwhelmed with everything - she was 90, and was suffering from kidney failure, so it wasn't a surprise, but heck, despite having had mom around longer than many, I still miss her an awful lot. Anyway, I'm starting to get my stride back, and have been working on updating something I'd written and published a few years ago. As soon as that's handled, I'll have the time to post the new chapters of "Vindicta" and write a few more.

Thanks again - your support means a lot!

I felt the need to continue, and got tangled up in Bayard's struggle, along with his need for revenge. I will be coming back to finish...

Thank you both. Your encouragement is gratefully accepted and taken to heart. I shall, indeed, keep writing in this vein and complete "Vindicta" soon. I'll let you know when new chapters are up, too.

Thank so very, very much! :D

Why do you doubt yourself? This jump outside your comfort zone was a real "splash!"

Keep at it, and the more you do it, the better the 'new skin will fit." We are always nervous when starting something new...but put your worries aside. You are a true words-smith!

No need to worry about your writing I am a fan I'm hooked and ready to read on, I only stopped long enough to fix dinner. Be sure and let me know when there is more.

As always, you're both honest and helpful, and I appreciate your feedback big-time. You're right about the confidence thing. I wrote for years and never showed any of it to a soul, and then one day I decided to see if I could try and publish something. Well, I did, but that was almost four years ago, and because I haven't the first clue about marketing a book, it hasn't gotten very far. That might be why I've been less than sure of my ability.

This website, however, has - as I already mentioned - done me a great deal of good, and I'm starting to think I might actually have a chance as a writer. Now if I can just figure out how to get my work out to the rest of the world...they say it's not what you know but who you know, and sadly, I don't know anyone in publishing or advertising, or in the entertainment field. But I've been reading things on marketing, so I hope to eventually get it straight, lol!

Thanks for the heart, too, by the way! :D

{at least in today's reading market} is in the midst of the action.

Not to give away the plot -

Only a person who has experienced the acts that you describe in the opening chapter can truly appreciate the horror involved.

In today's jaded and jaundiced society and the visuals one sees on the television daily, the unspeakable acts that you opened your book with can {hear me out entirely} be overlooked as mundane until the plot is developed and then the opening scene comes back to slap you up the side of the head.

I wish I could say at this writing I had read your whole plot - I shall - my time is not always my own and unfortunately that is the case today, but I can assure you that with what I read, I want to read more.

The only thing lacking in your writing Judy, is your confidence - your stories are engaging - ha, I go to read your forum posts - you have your fans - time to take your stories to the world...

Thank you for asking me to read - it's always a pleasure to do so. {Even if it takes me time to hobble over.}...p;]

...for the heart! I appreciate that a lot!

Without all the help, the quality observations and suggestions, the encouragement and the honesty with which I've been blessed on this site, I don't know that I could write very well at all. I feel I'm learning from some of the best (you, Wendy, Leslie, Marc, Robyn, Pat, Laz...the list goes on) and while I know I have a way to go, I'm beginning to believe that this is genuinely something I can do well.

And if you don't emerge from that bucket of ice cream and keep turning out the awesome work that's your hallmark, I swear I'll make it big just so I can buy out all the ice cream companies and refuse to sell you any until you promise never again to threaten to quit writing! So there. And now I need a tissue....

*Sniff!* Thank you.
