So constructive feedback is important and it is because of feedback that I have received in the past on my first story written in English that I have learnt little useful things like that in English stories you write " " around the dialogue rather than to start each sentence with a - like we do in Swedish writing.

Yeah sadly Ray has missed a lot of valuable time with his daughter so at this point in her life she's definitely taking after her mama more than him. Donna's influence has had a great impact on Margaret who up until this summer hasn't known anything but life in Washington. I don't think Ray and Donna have that different outlooks when it comes to family though, as it's something that they both value. Also having lost their parents early on in life they do share a bond that only people who's had that experience can understand. So if you scatch a little underneath the surface and look beyond her Washington lifestyle and his cowboy lifestyle they are not so different after all... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></p><p></p><p>And for some reason I just came to think of an old country song that I used to hear on CMT some 20 years ago.
