One with the local dialect, one without. I personally don't like reading over cut-outs, because you're right, it causes readers to stumble (that's why I chose not to write in an accent throughout the Wishing Stone and Other Myths). But I thought I'd try it out here. I like your suggestion and will work it. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!J.M.

I also reread the line "I wanted somethin’ bad to walk up to her" which didn't read right. so I changed it in my head to "I wanted to walk up to her somethin’ bad..." and that fixed it, but that is just a suggestion. I also like to use usta and halfta but it's an editor's nightmare...apparently. Glad I'm not an editor LOL. I really liked it.
