I'll keep my candles lit for you.
And I do apologize for the laps in comms from me lately. I've been dealing with a mix of NAVY and family stuff on top of trying to deal with a lot of personal stuff. Should all be ironed out in the next week or so. And I've been back stateside for about two months. Let me know if you come through VaBeach. We'll have a few beers.

Sorry to hear about your friend and his experience. You never are really prepared when that type of thing happens. Been through several of those over my several deployments.

I know. With me, it was the not knowing when the rockets where going to come at us. They really hit and wounded at absolute random. We really didn't have mush against them.
I have around four pages written at the moment and I will hopefully get to set down and continue after this weekend. I want to get this particular chapter done as it deals with some things that I am familiar with. _________________ "Liven a dream, Oh you're on top. My mind is aching, oh it won't stop.

Actually yes. It's been utter chaos around here but I have the first class exam the first week of Sept and then... That's it! I'm done with almost everything that's biting my tail off. I am also almost double digit numbers on 12's page count.
I swear, things have kept coming at me since I've gotten home. For every one thing I get nailed down, three more pop up. My life has never been this busy.
*sigh* Oh well. It can't rain all the time.
Mike should be getting a alpha draft soon. Once this test is over, I'm taking a forced break from a lot of things, possibly family included. I need to write, it's relaxing and I enjoy being in their world. _________________ "Liven a dream, Oh you're on top. My mind is aching, oh it won't stop.

Cool great to hear things are starting to wind down for you. Just wanted to make sure the story wasn't discontinued or on hiatus. Take your time on it, no rushing. Anywho, can't wait to read more. _________________ "Born to fight.

No, it's actually alive and well and continuing to evolve in my head. A couple of spots I was getting stuck on have worked themselves out nicely.
At the rate things keep trying to grow, I may have to break it up in to two or more parts. Not sure yet.
Oh well, back to studying. _________________ "Liven a dream, Oh you're on top. My mind is aching, oh it won't stop. That's how it happens, living life by the drop."- Life by the drop. Stevie ray Vaughan. |

Thank you. I was trying to figure out what I had done to my browser that it couldn't open the file. It didn't help that I could read any other story I tested.
Hope it's something simple and thanks for the link. I had wanted to go back and reread the story again. This will teach me to save a private copy on my computer. |

I am posting this here so I have witnesses.
Mike, you will have the Alpha draft by this weekend! If I have to lock myself in the bedroom with my laptop and activly withdraw from my chaos for a while, I will do so. I have all of my major fires out but some of the small issues keep rearing their collective heads. I need to put my foot down and take some time away to get some writing done.
If anything, Frank and the others are staring to loose patience with me not writing about them all.
If you don't have it by Sunday, call the cops, somethings happened to me or I can't get the door unlocked in which case, call the fire department. _________________ "Liven a dream, Oh you're on top.

Funny but sadly nessesary. I've been juggling so many things since i got stateside that i started drifting away from friends and the things i like doing. It took tripping across some old friends in my favorite hobby to get me to realize how much I was closing off. I've now set myself a new priority list with relaxing hobbies as a part of it.
I won't even go into the look on my face or the language I used when I realised just HOW long it'd been since I sent Mike an alpha draft.
I hope you guys like it. _________________ "Liven a dream, Oh you're on top. My mind is aching, oh it won't stop. That's how it happens, living life by the drop."- Life by the drop. Stevie ray Vaughan. |

It's done! Now I just have to resque it from my laptop and get it to Mike.
I should be able to have it to him later today.
Thank you all and I mean ALL of you, for being so patient. _________________ "Liven a dream, Oh you're on top. My mind is aching, oh it won't stop. That's how it happens, living life by the drop."- Life by the drop. Stevie ray Vaughan. |

Poor Frank...
He has absolutely no clue as to what he's about to experience.
The reception.
I have a sneaking feeling that Frank will be needed by the guy returning home from duty. _________________ "My name's Lion, Anthony Lion"
