Re-reading this before going to the new one. Such a rich, textured chapter....so many elements intermingling.

Now to unwrap you latest gift!

Amanda,
I wish I could send this note by PM but that feature appears not to be working properly.

I was certain you would brand me some kind of a nut for typing my review in all caps. All caps/bold is supposed to signify yelling is it not?? So did you think "Why is that fool yelling?"

Somewhere I thought I read where you questioning why you were writing Ginny a bit harshly or maybe it was in a review--Anyway--Chapter One was a few years ago and to fully appreciate your story and your work the reader should re-read from Word One, How else can the reader keep in focus the broad picture and central theme of this wonderfully crafted tale. Amanda, you are a true writer. Yes Ginny's anger is to be expected, that and a dozen other emotions. How she handles that anger and not let it tear at the fabric of her basic character is so very key to who she is and what she and they will become.

I am an ancient veteran of Viet Nam and will into my cups. I flew a Huey and did two tours, Believe me I have seen , and experienced very long separation caused by war. Ginny's anger is not that displaced and not certainly not all
that unusual, not in the least.

The way you opened Chapter 19. You could have just said :" Jackson got up quietly and went n search of the food" or something simple like that. You did not take the easy way out. You crafted a beautiful word picture that not only described the scene, defined the action but you also showed Jackson's kind, caring, character. You write with this skill, paragraph after paragraph. Chapter after chapter. Dialog so complete. Scenes and background, storyscape beautiful in there broad breath and texture yet brilliantly pin pointed when its called for. The beauty of the 'well written word.' Always finding the poetry in your prose. To not re read each chapter; savoring the nuance, the timbre is to miss so much of the character of you story.

Continue to write as you have. Write for those of us who appreciate the beauty in the well written word.

Author's Response: Thank you, as always, for all of your kind words and praises! And thank you for understanding Ginny's anger in regards to Harry. The next chapter will be even more intense I'm afraid--but I'm hoping it'll be the first step towards that eventual healing we know is coming. Thank you!

TO ALLOF YOU WHO HAVE FAITHFULLY FOLLOWED THIS TRULY OUTSTANDING STORY AND NOW WAIT ANXIOUSLY FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST THE FOLLOWING. ---GO BACK TO THE FIRST CHAPTER AND RE READ FROM WORD ONE. ONCE AGAIN LET THIS GIFTED WRITER DRAW YOU INTO GIINYS GRIEF, HEART WRENCHING PAIN. ---.PREGNANT, DEVESTATED-HEART BROKEN BEYOND WHAT ANY OF US CAN COMPREHEND. GINNY IS NEAR MAKING A FATEFULL DECISSION. AS YOU READ THESE FIRST CHAPTERS AND LET THE PURE POETRY IN THIS PROSE SINK IN. YOU WILL BE IN UNISON WITH THE AUTHORS PEN NAME--"NOT A DRY EYE"

AFTER READING CHAPTER ONE YOU CAN FACE THE COMING CONFRONTATION WITHN EQUAL COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING FOR THE UNMITAGATED HELL THEY BOTH FACED. THERE CONFRONTATION WILL OPEN ALL THE OLD WOUNDS. THE DEVASTATING PAST ANGUISH MY WILL BUBBLE TO THE SURFACE AND TEARS OF ANGER AND SADNESS AND ALL THYE LOST MAY WILL EXPLODE FROM EITHER OF THEM.

IN THE PROCESS OF REREADING YOU WILL ALSO GET TO ONCE AGAIN EXPERIENCE THE TRUE BEAUTY THIS AUTHOR BRINGS TO THE WRITTEN WORD.

(Exert from chapter One.)

"She’d had thought about jumping…intended it for a moment as she’d stood too close to the edge, leaning over ever so slightly before putting a foot upon the last stone barrier that held her back. She had gotten to the highest point, daring to look down upon the grounds that were barely visible to her eyes from rain and sheer height that she stood.

In her grief and her sudden desperation to stem the steady flow of pain pumping through her veins, it had seemed the only solution–the only end that would make it all better–make it all go away…

But even as she'd teetered on the edge, there was something holding her there, not allowing her to let go. There was still some rational part buried within her, screaming at her to stop--to think about what she was doing. Fighting against that part with all her might, she had finally collapsed against the rampart, clutching tightly to the stone as her legs hung over the edge and the tears came freely and in desperate sobs.

NO RIGHT, NO WRONG, NO SIDES TO TAKE.


Author's Response: Thank you so much for your kind words and review! Also--thank you for reminding me exactly why I write Ginny the way I do. She nearly ended it all. Her anger is justified. Thank you :)

Lovely to see an update to this story - its so different to most. It was good to see Jackson and his dad tentatively getting to know each other, while Ginny and Harry's attitudes are completely understandable. It looks like the next chapter will show the make or break to their future relationship. I can't wait!

Author's Response: Thank you! The next chapter/conversation is most definitely going to put things to the test. But we'll get to the warm fuzzies eventually--I promise!



Reviewer: sockless Signed Date: 2016.06.14 - 03:21PM Title: Stuttering

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hh! Oh my goodness. You never disappoint! How is life going? Dare we hope for future updates?! Regardless of their infrequency, they are always splendid.
Much love!

Author's Response: :) Life is going very well and the "discussion" between our two favorites is coming along nicely. Although...I can't guarantee that they're necessarily getting along that nicely. Thank you!

Fantastic, Ginny has always needed to clear the air and then they can settle on how they will deal with each other. Even in a divorce both people will always be stuck together if they have kids.

Author's Response: Ginny will get her chance to clear the air very, very soon.

Ok - just a little excited to see an update. I've actually been thinking of having a reread recently. And I must say I really enjoyed seeing Jackson spend time with his dad. I really wanted to keep on reading when the chapter finished. I really have no idea how this chat between them will go - will it be totally filled with anger or will they start to really talk to each other. I can't imagine it'll be any friendlier than that. I really can't wait to find out.

Author's Response: Thank you! And find out soon, you shall ;)



Reviewer: Jewels Signed Date: 2016.06.14 - 02:21AM Title: Stuttering

Oh it's so great to have another chapter to this story. Ginny's anger is completely justified. They wanted a life together, but he went behind her back and made decisions that effected them both without allowing Ginny any input on the matter. That being said, I want the see them together, and hopefully fairly soon. They're meant to be after all. Maybe after an explosive discussion they'll find themselves in eachother's arms unable to stay apart another moment. The romantic in me is sighing right now :)
Can't wait for the next chapter. You have me eagerly waiting in anticipation for their decision and aftermath.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you find her justified in how she's feeling. Sometimes I wonder if I'm writing her too harsh--but the woman has been through a hell of a lot. I think she deserves it! She also deserves happiness--and I promise that will come and all those romantic feelz will come to the surface--eventually :)

Really enjoying this story.

Author's Response: Thank you! :)

Yes!

You cover a lot of ground here...and I do believe you've left a pretty big clue as to where we go next....

...which will hopefully help unblock some things. It would certainly seem that Harry and Ginny are each likely to need to let go of the image they have of the other from 18 years ago....and be willing to take in the new reality of each other that has evolved over that time.

Really appreciate that you also posted a new 'Ginny' chapter of "What Goes On" a few days ago which fully supports our more deeply understanding what is unfolding now in this one.

Thanks


Author's Response: Hopefully I've left you all glaring signs as to where we are going next. I can guarantee we'll get there straight away--but I can't promise it'll be pretty. You're right--they need to just let go. But when have I ever made anything that easy? ;)

So glad you are back! Things are going well with Jackson and Harry. Hope they get there with Ginny eventually. They need a lot of time to work things out. At least they are talking. Is everyone still mad at Remus?

Author's Response: Thanks! I never actually really go away--I kind of just loiter around here ;) We will get to Ginny and her feelings right away this next chapter--and though I can't say she'll warm up in the next chapter--they will eventually get back together. And yes--Jackson is still super angry at Remus and Remus is kind of lying low as a result. He will have more of a part coming up, I promise!

The Ides of June--So prophetic in ancient Rome. You chose this day to reward us, torture us. Thank you. You truly are a gifted writer.

Author's Response: I wish I'd been so clever as the post this on purpose at this time ;) Glad you've enjoyed it!
