Since a misspelled word in a chapter title caused a problem for some of our readers, and since the blog space did not catch the error, I have decided to no longer title chapters. The names add nothing to the story and if it is confusing, then it is a negative not a positive.
Now if I can managed not to use the same number twice we should be good.
Now I have readers who want the chapters titled… I agree it is easier to go back to find things, if they are . So for 24 hours we will take a vote.
Yes…. I want the chapters titled i can live with the spelling mistakes
No… the spelling and grammar in titles is a problem for me.
Be heard this is an interactive project, since it is an on going soap opera…
Since we are talking out of story here, the comments by the readers have a definite influence on where this story goes. So comment and be a part of it all. It’s your story so tell me what you like and what you dislike.

Does spelling really matter in this context? Since reader complaints matter, I like having the chapter “titled”.
it must not have for me or I would have put it into the word processor not the direct post box.
I don’t read the story to check someones spelling so I vote keep the title idea going. If who ever complained doesn’t like the spelling , they can quit reading !!

good if you read to do spell check you would be busy with me. Thanks I appreciate it.
Hey the title, seeing you do it started me titling my chapters and they add to them story.
Put me down for titles. I figured any typos are due to the speed and regularity of your posts. Someting I GREATLY appreciate.
I honestly have time to type the story into the word processor, then proof read it twice and that about all i can do and meet my self imposed deadline. Thanks for understanding.
I agree with Jim Bairs!
PS You can always use a word processor to type the chapters then up load the finished story.
I am happy either way just as long as you continue to post.
That’s how I do it. I give the chapter a number then i write it. I proof / rewrite it twice, then post it into the blog. There is a place in the posting for a title so I give it one. Something to give me an idea where to look if i need to reference something.
‘Yes…. I want the chapters titled i can live with the spelling mistakes’
Somehow the titles add to the whole and so what if the spelling isn’t always 100%, that’s not uncommon with one-liners.
And keep up the good work, Maxine’s World is still more interesting then my own 😉
More interesting than mine too..
Makes no difference to me. I can live with it either way, I see both sides of the issue. Just please keep Maxine going.
leave the titles in, to echo the above posts, it makes no difference as long as we have a good tale to read, I look forward checking in and finding more titles to indulge in.
Looks like it’s ‘even if it’s broke leave it alone’ is going to win…
Yes…. I want the chapters titled i can live with the spelling mistakes
this is a FUN story

If spell checkers hadn’t been invented I still be trying to get out of the thrid grade. Misspellings and typoz, like shit happens. Keep the status quo.
looks like it will be more shitty spelling happening.
Titles please! Even if they are tittles…
tittles sounds like more fun even a little erotic
Status quo works for me. I just ignore the typos. I like your sense of humour on the titles..
I try to do more than name the segment more like create a feel for whats inside it
Yes…. I want the chapters titled i can live with the spelling mistakes
Oh go get a job… A rose by any other name still stinks. I have to work with way to many anal retentive people as it is. I love your work Bonnie, so keep on keepin on. Love, Donald and Vi (the English Professor)
Thank you
Titling is nice. Wo cars abot splling
fair enough
My excuse is that the bitch spill chick was on vacation. Never around when you really need her.
titles
Titles – yes. they are fun.
you are on the winning side.
Yes please keep the chapter titles.

yes it seems that is the readers choice and I decided that I would go along with them. Thank you and please feel free to comment on anything that strikes your fancy. Most comments shape how the story goes.
There is always some jerk egotistical critic looking for the “fly sh_t” in the pepper. Joke em if the can’t take a f__k or an error! Do it your way Bonnie. Its obvious you enjoy telling about Maxine and with your readership, you must be doing it right. BTW Thanks. Ralfb
Well I had no idea that the titles were this popular. As for the guy I think he was trying to do me a favor. So I’m going to continue doing what I do and try to pay a little more attention to spelling. Most likely it won’t do any good but hey life goes on.
Give ’em a Lick an a Promise….then move on! 😉 Indeed!
Baby-steps….we are taking baby steps here. We have a feedback post…maybe story suggestions of how Helen’s step-daughter busts Mr-Sleezo-CPA’s balls into something like marinara sauce would be helpful? Hmmm.

I had forgotten all about helen’s step daughter.
Please use titles. I find that your titles add to things for me. :)))
yes it seems they are more popular than I thought so titles it is
This is supposed to be fun! The titles are fun for me but you are the one that counts. What pleases you? BTW; great job!
Thank you and titles wins.
Titles, for sure
Yes titles won the day. I’m really a little surprised. I did it just so that I could research back easier.
I think it is fun to have titles, so keep it up if you want. They add to the overall experience. And who cares if the are a few spelling errors. We all know what you mean. The story is the important thing. Bonnie, keep up the great work. We love Max..we love reading about her life..and we love you for creating and sharing her with us.
thanks
leave the tittles in. Speeling mistackes and everything 🙂
I will consider it part of the charm of the story then.
Since I was one of the people that mentioned the spelling mistake, all in fun of course, I did not expect this to get so out of hand. I will refrain from expressing negative words about spelling and grammar in the public forums and just enjoy the stories.
I vote for keeping the titles in the chapters.
Peter I meant no offense by planning to drop the titles. I honestly thought it might be confusing and they are not the first line of the chapter or anything so they serve no real purpose to the story. But if people like them then I will stay with them. It is their story as much as mine. A whole lot of the things int he story come indirectly from comments made by readers.
Havens to Mergatroid. YES. I have always had s
A spelling problem so to me it is no big deal. I beleave it was Andrew Jackson who said “It is a poor mind that can think of only one way to spell a word.” It was something like that.
then i must be brilliant
Title the chapters.
You are definitely on the winning side of this discussion. So be it
