I'm struggling with my tale and you've already subbed yours!<br /><br />Seriously though, I think you've caught the essence of steampunk here. The dialogue is pitch perfect.<br /><br />Can't wait to read the whole story (D.L. would be crazy not to accept it!)<br /><br />Best,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-62038529523036914822010-05-04T01:52:05.184-04:002010-05-04T01:52:05.184-04:00Kathleen,

So, what is it about the repeating words here?<br /><br />Thanks for giving me lots of food for thought.<br /><br />CraigCraig Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08101869420537661374noreply@blogger.com
