I just realized that once again punctuation didn't make the transfer from Word to Wattpad.  So I'll be spending precious writing time going back through the published chapters to correct it.  Aaaarrrrgggghhhhh!

@MommaDB You might want to try transferring to notepad first. Some of word’s  Punctuation is not well behaved but word to notepad usually works.

@Sevannah_Storm I did that and I don't use italics.   I don't know if Word is incompatible with Wattpad or what the problem is.  When I upload it's there.  Then a day later it's  not.  So irritating.   Thanks tho

@MommaDB You could try right clicking and pasting as plain text? The problem with that is any italics is unitalicized.

I just want to ask a question.   Why do so many books I read describe the main character's bathroom habits?  I don't mean to be rude but how does it enhance the story to explain how she uses the toilet and shaves all of her body hair?  If you read well known authors you won't see that.  It's okay to be descriptive but an important rule is it needs to be pertinent to the storyline.
          
          Okay I got that off my chest.
          
          Oh and a werewolf without a pack is a rogue.  Rouge is a cosmetic.

@GarethN I agree.   For instance in some of your work iy is definitely part of the developing relationship and training.  But to give a play by play when the character wakes up just makes it awkward.  It always reminds me of my sister's high school boyfriend.  He would come over and me and our youngest sister would ask him how his day was and then just grin at our sister as he gave a minute by minute breakdown.  Too fun

@MommaDB Chekhov’s gun…  have nothing in your story that doesn’t promote the storyline. 
            Of course, I’d the bathroom activities do promote the storyline, they can stay. He is clearing up her explosive bathroom unpleasantness or she is performing his intimate grooming…
            Just saying…
