On or to? To or on?
Fifteen minutes of dithering over which preposition. There is a subtle difference. :wallbash:
This however flowed easily:
Standing naked in Cade’s bathroom felt decidedly intimate. His toothbrush and a razor sat on the edge of the sink. A black and burgundy velour robe hung from a hook on the back of the door. A tube of hemorrhoid cream lay on the back of the toilet. Apparently she wasn’t the only pain in his ass.
The last two lines were written for my own amusement. My amusement stemming from the thought of leaving them in the manuscript for my editor to find. :happy2::devil::happy2:
Of course we all know a Blaze hero can’t have hemorrhoid cream left on the back of his toilet. He has to keep that hidden in the under-sink cabinet… :happy2::doh:
Have a nice weekend!! :cooldance:
I vote for “to.” And I love the hemorrhoid cream. That will be an interesting discovery for your editor. :devil:

These things make a difference. Which prep did you choose in the end?

Ugh, I just read my last sentence and the pun on your “to be deleted” section was not intentional.

I’ll let the experts decide on the preposition.
Love the hemorrhoid cream. Maybe it belongs to his grandma who visited last month and he has just been too lazy to do something with it.
Let us know if you DO leave it in and what your editor’s response is.

Andrea, I probably need to get a life or just get out more so I’m not so amused by the cream. I guess I just have to get my laughs where I can. :mrgreen:
:happy2: Kimberly. I’d go with the Prep H, probably.
As it stands now, I’ve got it written with the “to”.

Marilyn, funny you should mention this. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to keep it, too. It started out as a joke but I rather like it. Precious, however, may ixnay it from all angles. 8O

Just imagine what life would be like if the man who invented Preparation H had stopped with the letter G. :mrgreen:

Jen, I can see Precious rolling over this. :mrgreen: Nothing like putting a little something in there to keep her on her toes. Remember this?
**That part of him she’d been fantasizing about sprang free, unbelievably small–disproportionate to the rest of him, she thought sadly–but erect and ready for her touch. A steady throb built between her legs, her nipples tingled, and her mouth watered just looking at him. She’d always liked Vienna sausages.**
Note from Precious was short and to the point–no Vienna sausages in Blaze. :happy2:

Marilyn, people the world over are grateful he made it to H. :bowdown: :happy2:
:happy2: :happy2: Rhonda. That was hysterical. Hey, we’ve got to make sure to give her a jolt now and then. It’s our job to keep her on her editorial toes. (I am so screwing myself here– now she’ll send me some 8 page revision letter, single-spaced just to prove how much she’s on those editorial toes.
:doh:)

Okay, Kira and Barbara, I’ve got an explanation written in further along, next chapter. We’ll see if she goes for it. :thumbsup:
