Perfect! Thanks, Ginger - it means one small tweak and I leave it at "lack of light", rather than "light from a specific source."
This damned story is sitting at just about six thousand words. Yikes.
Want to beta? Anyone?
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

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

I haven't gotten the last thing back to you, Deb, but I could probably look at it tomorrow.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Deb, I'd be happy to look at it. Tomorrow a.m. okay for return?

Always Anti-fascist!
I'm glad to know...well, ok, not glad, but I am glad it's not just me finding herself writing things she doesn't know.

Ginger, Anne, will send in a bit - I may try to do a bit more work on it, since I'm so close to the end.
erika, my darling, if you want to watch the internet wife squirm like a meal worm in an iguana's terrarium? Watch me when I get started on "Cruel Sister". The UXB stuff is a piece of cake compared to the architecture research I have to do for this one; Ringan's consulting with Penny's brother and megawealthy wife to build wife's dream home, a replica Tudor manor using as many authentic touches as possible, but with all modern conveniences.
I know nothing about architecture.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Deb, I'll be happy to take a look at it sometime in the next 24 hours or so.
After dinner I have to pull myself away from figuring out what Anna does with her pistol and get back to Lucy. Earlier this week I gave myself a swift kick in the rear by reminding myself I told an editor and agent the ms would be ready by the end of December. So I figure it's high time to learn to write to deadline, because I'd sure hate to not be finished on Jan. 2 and have one of them ask for the full.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Ginger, my mom was born in Liberal, her brother in Hooker. My mom lived in Guymon and her mom lived there for years. Nick was born in Guymon and I lived there for a couple of years before moving on. Wow, small world.
I would love to beta, but am still swamped with the paying work. I'm sorry Deb. I hate not having time for everything I want to do.

That's a really small world. My dad was head of the beef department at the Swift plant in Guymon in 1970-72. I lived there the summer of 1971 and took classes at Panhandle State.

Deena, I am all about the paying work, believe me.

DUDES. I finished the damned story. 2200 words tonight, nearly seven thousand words total.
I now definitely need betas. Will send to Anne and Ginger and I know Bev wants, and Susan. Also Nilly?
