GUS!
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Jo told me she broke up with Antawn because she got tired of dancing with his belt buckle.
fwiw

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I could use a beta for a story too, if anyone would like to volunteer. I have no idea if it works. It's one of my favorite ideas I've ever come up with, but the first writing didn't flow right, so I've just rewritten it. Now I'm lost in "was it even worth it?" land.
ETA: I'm 5'7", Nick's dad was about 6'5". My head went right into the hollow of his shoulder. Kissing was better if we were both laying down or sitting. I had a crick in my neck a lot.
(I'm so happy to see a gus post!)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Gus has been in Firefly too. We were bogarting the Gus.
Deena, me?
And Susan, don't forget that taller people are also bigger proportionately. I remember someone talking about having met Andre the Giant, and being just amazed at having his hand swallowed in a handshake, how big around the collar of his shirt was, etc. Comparisons of this sort might help get the size differential across, more than just height.

Also, just a quick thing. I was watching the "date" thing on TLC tonight, and the body language person mentioned a tell to look for.
A visually-oriented person, when asked a question, or trying to talk and think their way through an idea, will glance upward. An audially-oriented person will glance sideways, toward their ears. And a kinesthetically-oriented person will glance downward. I thought these were wonderful character clues to imbed offhand in a story someday.

Mart, she told me she broke up with Antawn because he was a bit of a mama's boy.

I think I may have figured out how to fix part of the pacing problem in Lucy. Unfortunately, it involves starting it around what is currently page 50, and covering the pertinent material from the earlier chapters in dialogue and flashback.
IOW, work.

Will that make it start when Lucy is already married, then? I need to read this.

Susan, that sounds cogent.
