I'm looking forward to seeing it. I think Sam will be a classic.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

“Not dead yet!”
I'm trying something different in forcing myself out of this rut with the current story. I'm just writing nothing but dialogue and will go back and fill in the blanks after I have a complete exchange down.
I've done it before and it's a good way to get the bones of a scene down. Let's see if it works this time.

I hope it breaks the rut.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'd love to read it, Allyson.
And I love that technique, Barb. I'm sure it will help with fresh perspective.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
It's okay to be terrified, Allyson, but please send. We all want to read it!

I'm willing to be an extra set of eyes as well.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
1:53am. Done. Out to betaers with thanks! Too late (or early?) to pop cork on champagne.

erika! Can't find your email anywhere. If you're still up for a beta, have your people email my people!

It looks like it jumps from chapter 7 to chapter 10, is that just a numbering error?
I was planning to listen to it on my commute, but my software recorded using Anna (default voice that ships with Windows) instead of Audrey and I can't listen to Anna for more that a few sentences. I'll start listening on my commute home. I'll delete the audio files the moment I'm done listening.
After listening to the whole thing, I'll start going through it in more detail, but I probably can't be as detailed as usual.
