As a young man I wanted nothing more than to be a writer. Life got in the way.....
I'm back.

Stop the modesty BS. You know as well as I do that my contribution was limited to throwing it out there and seeing who would pick up the ball and run. You scored the initial touchdown with your matrix story-order and remain as the No 1 cheerleader and motivator. I will gladly continue the communication with SM in order to update the Projects page as stories are completed. But the reins of this project are already in your good hands. Now lead us to the promised land. And who is DrBender and can he jump in? |

Honestly, I know the first flight stories better. But I love your organizational skills, WBScott. I can be flexible. I am also committed to follow Aggie's lead. You and Aggie would make a great collaborative CEO to clean this all up. All 15 stories are nearly finished. I am convinced that there are other new writers willing to fill in. How about DrB? The good doctor's ready to fly. |

Ok, I am shaking off the winter blahs. ShadowedPen, I greatly appreciate your patience and wachfulness. You can be up next for either Dead Resolutions or Unwanted Gift...or both. I'd like to get you in on all 6 stories at some time or another. |

'More story' has little to do with length. As the old saying goes, Show us, don't tell us. I love the graphic. |

It is great to see a poem get so many positive responses and scores. It's not only a wonderful poem but a terrific idea re holiday poems. I'm waiting to repost my Easter poem. |

Both are interesting comments. Does any story need a villian or hero? Neither character is developed enough to earn this reader's admiration. But neither is admiration necessary for the narrative, leastways not for me. Clearly it is the kid's story (villain or not). But where does it go from here? Watch the typos. Forties/40's. |

The holiday cheer is starting to wear off. I thought I'd take a peek at SM and this is what I find: a freaky hit HBO series! Baz, you goy something here. Develop it. Give your killer a job that allows him to travel and pay bills. |

I am admittedly behind, yet only have two stories to go. I will continue working on my last two mashes. I am next up with Soccer Dad. Since DJ is still writing, I shall try my best to keep following the order. Since we have eager and talented writers (Dog, WBScott, Shadowedpen et al) I suggest assigning them more stories to help fill in the gaps. We should welcome WWB and anyone else back as soon as their schedule allows. I also suggest asking SM to put our work up on a Project Page. It will help readers grasp the admirable work we have done so far and assist us in seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I am still interested in 9 complete chapters for each story, just as we stated in the beginning. Dog and others can help us attain that goal. Happy Holidays! |
