Should it be.

"Simon walked over to where she lay and sniffed the glass"
or
"Simon walked over to where she laid and sniffed the glass"
or something completely different?

lay

but it should probably be "Simon realised that sniffing the grass next to where she was lying would be a really sad thing to do so he went and had a wank instead"

(actually, was lying may be better)

VictorianSqualor · 17/06/2008 13:44

lol, well it was his mother's glass, full of vodka, that's why he sniffed it, after he murdered someone, so I think it fits better than a wank

OP posts:

I read "grass"

oops

VictorianSqualor · 17/06/2008 13:53

That would've been poncetastic.

you can understand why I thought he was a bit of a wanker

VictorianSqualor · 17/06/2008 14:15

Totally.
Just don't say it to his face, he could hurt you.

OP posts:

good point!

I heart Simon.

I think Simon is the nicest, un-wankerish person I have never met

(is this a novel, or the news section of the local paper, btw?)

VictorianSqualor · 17/06/2008 14:21

Ha!novel, thankfully

OP posts:
fryalot · 17/06/2008 14:33

phew!

how many has he murdered? so far, I mean

VictorianSqualor · 17/06/2008 14:57

He's on his second, but it is only up to chapter 6.

OP posts:
fryalot · 17/06/2008 15:38

what book is it? And is it good?

VictorianSqualor · 17/06/2008 15:44

It's called 'The Call' by VS, I think it's great

OP posts:
fryalot · 17/06/2008 15:52

aaaah!

When you have finished it, can I read it? It sounds good. And two murders by chapter 6 sounds quite fast paced and interesting too

VictorianSqualor · 17/06/2008 20:14

You certainly can, I'll add you to my list of proof readers.
Chapters 1-6 are available now

send them to me, send them to me
