You know, "If you think Johny should stay in the pit, go to pg. 43. If you think Johny should hightail it outa there, go to page 342." Those were so cool!MJ Schillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921672646433078203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871738939469153809.post-71087359904320596212013-07-02T17:27:30.875-06:002013-07-02T17:27:30.875-06:00Hey there, MJ - I'm sorry to have to confess t...Hey there, MJ - I'm sorry to have to confess that if I hit a point in a story that feels a little slow or boring, I'll peek ahead to see if any good parts are coming. :-) I am even an end-peeker. Sometimes I skip around so much, I forget where I was and have to go back to an earlier part! :-) Leah St. Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004006100786260893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871738939469153809.post-69120805887323062302013-07-02T11:08:01.899-06:002013-07-02T11:08:01.899-06:00I hear you, Nancy!

A little change in scenery is refreshing, even if it's only in your mind. Thanks for coming on by and sharing your thoughts!

Great post and I love your tra...HI MJ and Melinda! <br />Great post and I love your trailer. Rock music isn't my go to, but I do love it now and then. <br /><br />I'm not a math person either, but I raised two math lovers who read like crazy. So I guess the math gene lives in me somewhere. Now as for reading, my kids get that from me. I can still remember our weekly library trips, three bags stuffed full--a good 50 books a week. Reading is my absolute favorite thing to do. A perfect mother's day is a day where the world leaves me alone so I can read. But now that I'm a writer, my reading has really reduced...which isn't a good thing. Nancy C.

Someone who can do numbers and words! Except for you. And my husband. And my dad...<br /><br />Thanks for breaking away from your own writing to say hello!

Answers a lot of questions for you, huh? haha And people read the last chapter first? Who does that? The horror! <br />Now, a good M.J. Schiller book? That's my pace. I loved Trapped Under Ice and adored Abandon All Hope. Get writing, girl. I'm ready for the next one!<br />-R.T.
