Transgressing - Look!
Apr. 1st, 2004 01:04 pminstantly I i hit a snag.
Jonathan (my Quaker) speaks in thees and thous. I've just realised that I havent got either his mother or his maternal grandfather speaking like that. I could change them - will have to i suppose - but its a bit of a mountain for the reader - it wasnt too bad when he was only talking to David - who doesnt thee and thou...
grrr.
AND - how did they light candles? tinder boxes i'm assuming? Jon "fumbles in the dark for a candle" couldhe do it in the dark.
ARGH!

*PULLS OUT HAIR* but, as i've gone past my word count i can do Milne for the rest of the day - and that counts too!! (actually i think i will change my Goal to 20K of Transgressions. anything else is extra.
thanks tho. i knew i'd have to do that with the language. bugger.
