I finished Wiser Time today. It's good, again with good OC's. Did you know that the author's mothertongue isn't English? :o I think that's amazing. I like the writing style.

I think Mel mentioned that she might be Italian? I'm amazed that English isn't her native tongue. I'm also amazed that English isn't your or Mel's native tongue either. You guys have a better command of the language than a lot of native speakers! ;)

Thanks Marie! I haven't finished this chapter yet, but you know what's funny, this is the first chapter where I noticed that she is a non-native, there are some traps she falls in that I fall in too when I write. It's hard to explain, it's sentence build up and some of the dialogue. But that doesn't mean that I don't think that she is amazing, obviously, I always love to read stories by non-natives and I am quite impressed with hers!
Oh, BTW I get confused with Brent and Grant (are those the names), I wish she hadn't chosen names that were so similar!
:laugh:

Mel, now that you've mentioned the sentence build-up, etc., I'll probably be watching that more closely!

That's very funny because I was getting confused at first, too! And then I figured out this little trick: Good Grant. Bad Brent. LOL! (Well, okay, maybe Brent's not actually "bad," but I didn't like how he made Ennis feel so insecure!)
