I really want his input.<br /><br />So true Lindsay, it's amazing, I even doubled the size of the first scene, which was perfectly fine the way it was, but now it's even better. I might have to post that up before long. Maybe after the next couple blogs I started putting together already.TLJeffcoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12380592100458330369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018004797669959252.post-71939816318821821702011-05-22T12:46:25.276-05:002011-05-22T12:46:25.276-05:00Sounds interesting!

When I'm editing, I always end up adding back almost as much as I cut too. *g*Lindsay Burokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07955277387824031696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018004797669959252.post-13847510776958485422011-05-22T08:53:23.112-05:002011-05-22T08:53:23.112-05:00I was in the Navy for a while myself, and I know i...I was in the Navy for a while myself, and I know it's tough to get the lingo down, because the military culture is so esoteric. Glad to hear you've found a lot of people to give it that authentic touch. I'm reading Stephen Knight's book, the Gathering Dead, and he does a good job getting it right also. Can't wait to read your book when it's finished!Paul Salvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818202201018195312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018004797669959252.post-16308587629858488402011-05-21T20:16:01.097-05:002011-05-21T20:16:01.097-05:00No, I was convinced by my wife not to join the mar...No, I was convinced by my wife not to join the marines back when I was young and had seriously considered it. I've grown up around military. My dad was a marine, my grandfather was Navy and my step-dad was Air Force. I did a lot of research and discussion with a couple of Marines before writing this book as well. I'm still researching as I write and I have one more marine to talk to before putting on the finishing touches.TLJeffcoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12380592100458330369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018004797669959252.post-42820965859403084162011-05-21T20:08:17.767-05:002011-05-21T20:08:17.767-05:00Sounds interesting.
