All Comments on 'A Little Character Building'

So Hector would be in jail and why would he tell his girlfriend ANYTHING? Dumber than a stump.

I thought this was just brilliant. I didn’t expect the ending which made me almost cheer that Lita got no satisfaction out of being the cruel selfish egotistical bitch she went through life showing everyone she is. I will be reading this whenever I need something to lift my spirit and my mood. Thank you so much for writing and posting it.

This is a wonderful story: almost a rom-com. The ending was a neat twist, with enough clues in the story that folks should see it coming. I have only the tiniest nit to pick, but it's a pet peeve of mine: there's no such word as 'alright,' but, otherwise, the story is all right.

I loved this, the surprise ending was perfect and I could just imagine Lita's face. 'But DAD?!'

A very enjoyable tale that, as always, explores gender issues in a romantic and lovely way. They do always say, if you want to know the future wife, look at the mother.

Thanks, Anonymous number 1 for reading. I going to guess Hector's girlfriend spied the address off of his calendar and followed him, I wasn't there so I am just guessing...ha...

Thank you the nicer Anonymous number 2. I was nervous about this story, I have gotten readers angry at me for having vicious and mean wives in my story before but I realize a girlfriend is a whole 'other thing. Oh and usually the wives that show up are pleasant and well-read, ha thanks for reading.

Thank you Soma, I wanted to tell a story that was almost all recollection, being told by our heroine, like a secret history. It was harder than I thought. Thanks for reading...

Thanks, Silkee, I love the idea that it was the father's idea to have our heroine date Lita, he was the one that was forcing the 'Character Building' on the two of them. I hope we learn from the explanation and recollections that the father wanted Lita to pick up some of Wendy's friendliness. Thanks for reading...

Thank you Cristal, love that about the mother, I wish I put that as the last line in the story... Thanks for reading.

I finally had some time to read your story and loved it! What I like is the respectful nature of interactions between your main characters and the attention to details. I crave that in stories. You never failed to delivered a story fitting my taste, thank you for another nice one! 5 *****

Thanks, eraj, I love how Wendy meets these men and they become her friends for life. I notice that most of my stories end with these big get-togethers or parties at the end of them, I have to come up with something different, ha. Thanks for reading.

Gag me with a spoon.

I know exactly what you mean, I also have favorite themes in my stories. I mostly write stories in college setting, characters are 19-22 years old and many are programmers (or chose Computer Science major);D I really need to change something, but I kinda love it... So it's hard :)

I loved this story and the ending was OMG just brilliant, so unexpected... I loved it. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Vicky for reading... It is crazy that I held onto this story for so long before publishing, I thought it had too much sex, ha... like that is a bad thing here on LIT... Thanks again...
