I haven't tried to get it published.<br /><br />Shaddy is a nickname my father gave me when I was a toddler. I followed him everywhere he went, just like his shadow. Isn't that sweet?<br /><br />I resurrected the nickname when I took my first online writing class.<br /><br />Thanks for your interest!!Cheryl Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064303602761860569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983341647599426744.post-11745823499642515952014-03-19T20:46:31.822-05:002014-03-19T20:46:31.822-05:00Well??

Please don't reply unless you meant the latter! (Actually, I've spent a great deal of my life TRYING to be what I thought was normal. Presently, I'm getting better at being myself, as scary as that can often be!) <br /><br />KathyH: You don't know how good it makes me feel to have you stop in at my blog! I hope your Christmas was awesome and the New Year will better yet, all the way from January through December. <br /><br />Thanks for your feedback.

And just between me and you--I never cared much for men in dresses either! Great work on this project so far, Shaddy. Oh, I almost forgot--the sentence about their heads turning like dominoes was brilliant. The image was perfect.<br /><br />KathyH<br />P.S.

Shaddy has a better attitude than I did, getting involved with the choir like that. I remember lots of kids had to be walked out of church by their parents to keep them quiet. <br /><br />Since this is Chapter 12, I can't help but wonder about the earlier chapters. I wanted to know why this was Shaddy's first day at church. Had her parents thought she was too young before this?<br /><br />May you have a Very Very Happy New Year!mary.anne.gruen@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16839396134411360643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983341647599426744.post-88640501607828023192009-12-31T12:39:22.238-06:002009-12-31T12:39:22.238-06:00Lia: Thank you for the positive comments.
