I also like that she envies something worth envying-not material things, not a boyfriend, but the essence of who a person is. That's a deep insight to her own soul/psyche. Can't wait to read the next one!The Words Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520267901489487512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-62585159244175319472010-08-13T20:57:42.806-04:002010-08-13T20:57:42.806-04:00"I mean Christ, if it were up to Fortuna we&#..."I mean Christ, if it were up to Fortuna we'd all be wearing velour track suits."<br /><br />ROFLMAO.<br /><br />Loved this one too (what else am I supposed to say? It's true) <br /><br />One thing that stuck out at me in this one was, I haven't really known jealous women to admit to jealousy outright- especially if it's toward a close cousin or a sister. <br /><br />They might say something snide or envious but not just outright say "I'm jealous." Unless this was a journal entry where if she was especially in tune with her feelings she might admit it outright on a page, but that's not generally something a woman would say to someone else- even if she'd think it. Since these come across as conversations with the character (at least to my view) that's something that jumped out.<br /><br />I'd be curious to hear (only if you have time of course I know I'm late getting to these) your thoughts on that. Have you known a woman to admit outright (sincerely- not in jest) she was jealous of another person?<br /><br />This series is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this glimpse inside their heads. Makes me really, really want to read the book.<br /><br />~bruFebruary Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01078037856070486022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-57767829247719840052010-08-10T18:44:12.503-04:002010-08-10T18:44:12.503-04:00Shelley -- 4 more to go.

I am getting writing done. I read you (as well as everyone else) but I don't comment much anymore. I'm trying to stay focused. <br /><br />Lisa -- It's funny, I didn't really look at it that way until you pointed it out. I mean, they're all family, they should be protective of her, but until I did this exercise I really had no idea how they actually felt about Genna.<br /><br />Susan -- Thanks Susan.

I've been a bit misunderstood my whole life, by sisters and by people in the small town where I grew up. I hate that people from my past keep me in the little box the decided I fit into all those years ago. I've grown, changed. Does Angie ever feel like that?<br /><br />Lord, listen to me! These characters are becoming real people for me, Anne. WTF?? <br /><br />Snaps to you!

The people whom I've introduced you to aren't really the people that I know. So it's been kind of fun in that way. I always knew Angie was good, but is more anxiety prone than most.<br /><br />E.Elle -- Angie's a good girl deep down, you just have to see her motivations for doing some of the crazy crap she does.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-39736038643944258752010-08-09T12:31:16.845-04:002010-08-09T12:31:16.845-04:00You really seem to be loosening up with this serie...You really seem to be loosening up with this series, Anne.
