He does support my writing endeavors and that means a lot.

He almost died when I told him I read this at my writer's group and they are all members. They thought it was some of my best writing ever. Go figure. He worries too much about what other people think. I still consider my stories clean and smut free.Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-87606073153539823752013-10-09T08:12:23.296-05:002013-10-09T08:12:23.296-05:00It's just because I wrote it and I don't s...It's just because I wrote it and I don't swear in real life. It shocks him that my characters don't have the same values I do. ;)Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-69042454714927249792013-10-09T07:45:02.193-05:002013-10-09T07:45:02.193-05:00Whoa, one swear word stopped him? Yikes indeed.
I...Whoa, one swear word stopped him? Yikes indeed.<br /><br />I've read your short stories and can tell you that you met your objective: they did not read like first chapters of something bigger. They were complete within themselves. <br /><br />Also, that story was not smutty. I picked up what you were putting down! You were not sexually explicit or anything. Your husband probably hasn't read the REAL smut to know the comparison.<br /><br />For what it's worth, my husband only plans on reading my stories if someone buys the movie rights.KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03924028116296474975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-28946069016856778662013-10-08T17:07:35.487-05:002013-10-08T17:07:35.487-05:00Reminder: do not let your husband read your stuff....Reminder: do not let your husband read your stuff.

Thanks Alex!
I think as I move into fall...Exactly. Thanks Alex!<br /><br />I think as I move into fall I need to turn off "marketing" mode and slip back into writing, and allow people who want to find my kind of story find it. <br /><br />Then, after I finish the two stories I'm working on I can get back into marketing after Christmas.Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-71324341264630771072013-10-08T16:34:51.672-05:002013-10-08T16:34:51.672-05:00Awesome review, Charity!

It would be cool if he liked it, but as long as he supports you, it's all right.<br />When we find readers who get it, that trumps everything.Alex J.
