Re: Too Much of Honour - 6 months ago
Thanks so much to all those who've taken time to leave comments saying they liked the story. It helps my writer impostor syndrome and is encouraging me to carry on working on A Haunting in Hunsford. I won't reply individually to avoid cluttering the message board, but I really appreciate it. I would be interested if anyone got my obscure Sherlock Holmes reference - in my head Lydia is the motherby DavidG - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Re: Too Much of Honour - 6 months ago
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. I thought I'd seen a similar way of handling Wickham elsewhere, but now can't find it. I'm working on a longer version of A Haunting at Hunsford, so trying out some stuff that may go into that. I don't think I'm quite hitting the right balance between dialogue and description. Writing romance also doesn't come easily. But I'm encouraged that you enjoyed it.by DavidG - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Too Much of Honour - 6 months ago
Too Much of Honour By DavidG Blurb: A short story in which Colonel Fitzwilliam takes a more pragmatic approach to dealing with the problem of Lydia and Wickham. Epilogue Abbey, P&P. Author’s Note: This story may be unsuitable for pre-teen readers due to heavily implied (though not absolutely explicit) reference to mature themes regarding Lydia’s fate. Comments and feedback welcome. I’mby DavidG - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
