I usually use purple...I've been told red is too harsh, but then again they are fourth graders. You've been written, edited and revised so that you final draft can be read purely for pleasure once the work is done.

[rubie]

Ah yes...the taboo against the red pen.
I used green. lol
Thanks for the review. Much appreciated!

[Adam Adams]

Alas...
Gasp, What more a reader should say if a writer has already had him "speechless"... with words?? Beautiful & even so well -- versed insights you've boiled with your love---feels. Excellent. I had even never thought like that earlier before 'bout such scenario of love... it's kinda sudden moment when I read your work. Brilliant. Wonderful job!

[rubie]

Thank you for your wonderfully expressed review.
Your visits are always appreciated.

[Adam Adams]

An honor to visit your pages & read your evocatively written stuffs.

wow...the promise of finishing love's manuscript...such a straight forward statement in these lines and what a great title...fabulous, my friend :)

[rubie]

Thank you for your kind words, my friend :)

[....................]

you may want to edit my review for writing promise twice :) ....and you are welcome!!

[rubie]

Yes, I may just want to do that....

[....................]

I couldn't leave it that way so edited it myself :D

[rubie]

Too bad. I was kind of looking forward to doing it :D

[....................]

I would have waited but I realized you can't edit it (at least right on the screen), so I did the next best thing..hehe

[rubie]

Hehehe. True, I couldn't have done it. But it doesn't mean I wouldn't have tried.... :D

[....................]

For am moment I pictured you grumbling at the printer, waiting for that piece of paper to shoot out with my comment on it. Then, with red pen in hand, circling the second 'promise' and writing the following above it: REDUNDANT! :)

[rubie]

Such a disappointment not to be able to draw a big red circle with my usual flourish and panache...
Next time....

[....................]

Perhaps on the next one I will leave plenty for you to edit, so you can break-out that red pen and, as we say here in Newfoundland, "have at er!"

[rubie]

I tremble with anticipation.. :D

[....................]

Perhaps I will simply write in my Newfoundland vernacular which will start something like this: "Rubie me ol' trout, wat a fine piece o' writin' you gots 'ere me dear, tis wicked stuff! Sure dis is better 'an ol' Bill wasisname's work!" - translation: Great job, Rubie, this is better than Shakespeare! :)

[rubie]

I love it!! But your strategy is faulty, my dear. I would never edit such charming vernacular....

[....................]

:) I thought you might!! It's not the first time I've utilized a faulty strategy; that's why I insure it!

[rubie]

You clever devil, you....
