Re: Denmark. It's one of my favorite places, a small country and very nice. I'd be thrilled if it were my story, too. Yes, it's nice to be a big fish in a small pond. Even if it's one you hadn't really considered dipping into. ;o) I can't say why the Danes are taken with your uncle's religious story. But once in Copenhagen I had to fend off a Danish Jehovah's Witness in the square in front of the central rail station, by explaining that there was no point in me taking a copy of his Watchtower since I couldn't read Danish!

My biggest story turn off? Churning through relationships (starting and ending them and often restarting them) for no other reason than jerking the reader/viewer around.
