Hello everybody!
Just wanted to write a quick message explaining a few things. You all have been amazing by reading my story and saying such great things about it. And I accept every help I can get like advice to improve this story. I think it is wonderful and I am really truly grateful.. But, there is one thing I want to say and clarify with every reader which is the "Mom" / "Mum" word. Yes, this is about that comment. It kind of upset me a little because the way they 'speak' on The Fosters. They say it just like we (Australians.) do. So I don't see an big issue if I spell it differently. But, if more people than just one like the majority of the readers find it difficult just because I am spelling "Mum" like this then I will think about editing it and spelling it like the Americans do.
But, I do want to make a few things clear because I can't private message this person because of her/his settings:
I am Australian! So it will be harder to write in how American's talk with the "Mom" etc. And how they talk. But, I am trying my best to make it neutral. It is still set in where The Fosters are at. And I am making sure these characters are just like themselves on the show. And if you really find it so unbearable just because of the "Mom" / "Mum" word then you are just missing out on a great book to be quite frank with you. I really do not want to come across as rude or mean but it really bothers me. I should of expected this since this is an American TV show but the have someone say they can't read this story just because of that factor really bothers me. I accept your opinion but I just wanted to reply to it with how I feel too. I don't want a fight. But, please just don't give up on this story because of how I am spelling things..
That is all I really wanted to say.. I will be writing a new chapter today at sometime. I just wanted everybody to know how grateful I am to have so many people interested in my story on the first day of publishing.
Stay Happy!
