Thank you so much for writing a sequel. I loved the first story, such a wonderful take on what could have happened and how they would have found each other still.
This was a great sequel. I loved the exchanges between not only Josh and Donna but also Josh and CJ, and I like the way things worked out for them so that they'll both be in New York.
My only criticism (and it isn't really one) is that the DNC is located in Washington, DC and the chairman works in the office there. (I interned there this past summer). But other than this tiny, baby hiccup, it is a great story.
One other thing having to do with the DNC, the chairman is elected by members of the party. But I believe in artistic license, and it doesn't detract at all, so I'll stop littering your wall now :)
Well, I'm officially an idiot. Of course I knew that! Howard Dean, anyone? Gosh. (Blushes). In the first draft I officially had Josh get another high level job in NYC, then switched it to the DNC so he could go to DC and it wouldn't seem so, well, as I put it, serendipitous. But then, lack of editing reared its ugly head. As for the elected official part, I've apparently been brainwashed since my formal political education (which really wasn't that long ago). Thanks for the reminder!
Oh, honey, that was so good! You have such a wonderful style...your observations seem to flow into one another and I can see it all happening as I read. I love how you wrote Josh and CJ -- in her 4 inch Lanvin pumps -- This, here is the CJ he loves, because she can be joking and laughing but really, deep down, she loves him, loves him like crazy.
And the conversation about Cliff Calley cracked me up.
Don't stop writing these two...you do it way too well.
And me too, but I actually have to get around to writing it first! I have this rather smooshy idea for one prompt that may get me stoned for an overload of sweet!
