As long as you get straight back up again you'll be okay.<br /><br />Sadly, there seems to be a rule in place that means the stories closest to your heart are the ones that take the most work to place somewhere. But they're the ones that give the biggest rewards, so keep trying!Dan Purduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633271913854946500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-62826695067043808272012-01-20T08:50:27.113+00:002012-01-20T08:50:27.113+00:00I agree about shaking up the rule book - just wish...I agree about shaking up the rule book - just wish more people would "get" my writing, though, invariable (as happens with shaking up the rules) I fall on my bum a lot...many reasons to keep experimenting....Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-2168451955483016382012-01-19T23:08:07.471+00:002012-01-19T23:08:07.471+00:00Thanks, Patsy.

I'm glad you enjoyed the story.<br /><br />It's good to give the rule book a little shake every once in a while, isn't it?Dan Purduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633271913854946500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-32858362568431702142012-01-19T13:47:07.904+00:002012-01-19T13:47:07.904+00:00Just Jeff is quite an odd story and breaks several...Just Jeff is quite an odd story and breaks several rules - as you say most of it's about what doesn't happen. Also there are far more characters than you'd usually want for that length story, and almost all of them aren't strictly part of the action anyway, so yes I can see it wouldn't fit many places. I like it though.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263765378083045973noreply@blogger.com
