@tiamin hey thx for the suggestions. i've read the last book in the chesapeake bay series, tho i cant seem to find all the others anywhere. i also read where rainbows end, its one of my fav books ever. Cecilia ahern really did a great job on that. i've not read public secrets tho, so maybe i'll check that out. i've also taken a break from romances in general, but i'll do historical anytime.
practicals are just an inconvience, u'll get thru it. good luck.
i'll go check out the first chapter of ur story. its so great u r finally writing.
