This work has reached the exceptional level

When Laura explained about her frustration at being charged for three months instead of one, and why Michael (should this be Paul?) had actually taken the picture of her wearing the swimsuit in the first place, Tanya burst out laughing.

What an exciting photo shoot this turned out to be!!! I could see the subsequent chapters going in myriad directions.

    You've done it again! Another simple mistake that will stop me from being humiliated when I publish it as a book. It's easy to correct a kindle edition at the flick of a switch, but a book is a completely different matter. Thank you again! Alexis xxx

Brilliant writing and again, it's a great idea! Laura is coming into her own here and she deserves the success I hope she gets. Just one thought - will you have to get copyright from M&S, Primark, etc to use their names? I bet you know your way around that snag better than me but I just wanted to be sure. Superb writing, Alexis! Best wishes, Pete :)

    If you enjoyed this one, Pete, I know you'll enjoy the one I posted today. You're absolutely right re M & S and Primark, but as I understand it, your publisher does deals for brand name inclusion, as do the film companies. At the end of the day, it's all about money! Alexis x

Well, it looks as if Laura is going to get a good advert for Marks & Spencer's, and a good advert for herself, and one for her websites! She has a good business brain.

    Hopefully. She can't undo what she's already set in motion, so she'll either have to swim with the tide or fall flat on her face. It won't be long before we find out. Alexis x

Things are moving fast for Laura. Before you know it, she'll be a CEO! (I going to fine you one star every time you write "burst out laughing" --April Fool's ,tee,hee.)

    Now there's a thought! I was writing part two last night when I read your review and guess what? I burst out laughing! I then read what I had just written and saw 'Jacques' had done the same thing, so I told him he couldn't because you would fine me a star. I love your sense of humour, my friend. I hope you enjoy your involvement in today's chapter! Alexis x

The chapter flew over too quickly -
I was quite lost in it - conversation
so natural - something more might
come from the photo shoot and interview...
sounds interesting.

    That's the plan! Today's post highlights that possibility. Thank you, Margaret. Alexis x

Hi Alexis,

Spag free so far as I can see. You might just want to check Marks and Spencer's is how you put it, with the apostrophe where it is. I think it is but go on line and check for sure.

Yes, it all seems to be going just fine. I imagine you're feeling relieved now the end is in sight.

Best wishes, Alison

    I'll say! The last two chapters posted (yesterdays and todays) have needed a major rewrite now 'Jacques' is involved, so I expect there will be tons of spag! Everything else is in place now, except for the final chapter. Things keep coming to me as I'm writing, so who knows what will happen (apart from the obvious!) I'm so grateful for all your help, Alison. As I've said before, I'm never happy with a chapter until you've read it. Thank you! Alexis xxx

G'day Alexis. This is another wonderfully written chapter mate. Well I guess there go my chances then! Now that she'll be famous she will totally forget about her old lowly poet frind huh? Ahhhh well, sigh, I'll get by. I love this book, I'm going to go on a naked hunger strike in the Australian embassy in Manilla if you threaten to finish it again. Cheers Fez

VERY well done, my friend. I so enjoyed the journey of where this whole thing was going. I found myself sitting up and getting excited at the new twist on where the newspaper article was going. You tied that in well with your story.

BRAVO!!

    It's taken me HOURS to use the experience as best I can to take the story forward. Now on the home straight! Alexis xxx

This just might be the publicity she needs. The extra month on the dating site turned out to be a good thing, in a quite unexpected way. Maybe now she can quit working for the chat line too.

    It certainly is. In fact, if we didn't know differently, one might think she had posted the picture deliberately! Alexis x

Well, still don't know if she's getting a free swimsuit or not. Something better might turn up out of this unexpected twist. She might get all the publicity she needs for those sites out of this.

    Forget the swimsuit, Laura's just realised that this could get her sites some exposure. Fingers crossed! Alexis x
