The reason, of course, is the last dot is the period at the end of the sentence. However, I never realized that the rules said you should leave a space before and after a three-dot elipse. First time I've seen that rule. I'll have to start doing that.obxwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00668682640678710867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-17376267867652183602010-12-14T19:00:04.642-07:002010-12-14T19:00:04.642-07:00Thanks for the post.

I love it when stories drop clues and hints that you don't even realize were significant until you've reached the climax of the story.Hannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936315047570120258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-37954290661090731762010-12-14T15:43:02.921-07:002010-12-14T15:43:02.921-07:00Love the free weights example, Morgan!

So when I finish a good novel I always circle back and re-read its first chapter or two to see the seamless ways the author set everything up. It's fun!Kathryn Crafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371458857187160425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-42504305560901216152010-12-14T09:52:31.099-07:002010-12-14T09:52:31.099-07:00I remember this post from last year, Morgan.

How do they interact with that friend? Or do they seem to have no one within their inner circle? In the book I'm working on now, my protagonist has a couple of good friends and with each the relationship is a bit different. But how open she is with each is "telling."<br /><br />Thanks Morgan.Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.com
