More action that is, now packing and moving, that's a different story. I don't envy you! What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

I've always considered myself extremely adaptable and able to accept change. But there's just something about a move when you have to do all the packing yourself that gets to me every time! How much I'd love to have a moving service for this move! The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars. WWW IP Logged

She hates moving as much as I do. I hope all is well with the move! What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

They drop off boxes or come by for an hour to help pack. Thank God! I might actually be ready to leave on Saturday! The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars. WWW IP Logged

Posts: 990 Location: Fulton, MO Re: Another Fairy Tale -- FDK Reply #20 - Jul 11th, 2011 at 10:42pm Print Post So the changes didn't get posted yet. But maybe I can get that done tonight. I didn't change a lot; just reworked the 2nd and 3rd chapters so that the reader isn't aware that Straker's okay for a while. My beta tester likes it better this way.

Hopefully, you'll enjoy it this way much more than the original way I had it. Chapter 5 is being written now. I need to add more to the scene with Alec and Nyt though.

So, what will Alec think of Nyt? (Remember Alec, Nyt is a lady so you had better be a gentleman.) What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

I wonder what he told Henderson? : Nyt seems to be in a wee bit of a quandry, what is she to do, indeed? The Commander seems to have that effect on quite a few people, it would seem that the "keepers" are not impervious to his charms. What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

And that is how it could be different. Remember, you're talking to a crazy writer, who made a UFO/Bonanza crossover work. The turbolift doesn't go all the way to the bridge.
