*cough* Of course not. (And yes, the coughing pun was intended)

Derrell... I think it's fantastic that you are so excited about this story. I wish I had that much enthusiasm for my own work. Can't wait to read your stuff. Just send it to the e-mail address in my profile.

larisse, I'd be happy to have you read my story. I'll get it to you As soon as possible. I'd like your input on plot development, character development, etc. You don't have to critique the grammar, unlees you really want to. I have someone helping my fix my grammatical errors.

Noah, I replied to your e-mail. I sent it at about 11:30 PM Mountain time. on the 14th. I add all this information because I don't know when you'll read this post. Don't worry about the grammar.

Again, I would like to thank all those who have given me advice, shared stories, and expressed interest in my story. There are currently 3 Hatrackers who have copies of the story and have agreed to give me their feedback. If anyone else would like to read it, let me know.

The next part of this post is for that certain, special, Hatracker. Noah, i don't mean you. Sorry, but this person is far better looking and is my official proofreader. No, I'm not talking about Jon Boy. [Wink]

Thank you for being my friend and for helping me with the grammar in this, story and the previous piece of writing I sent you. I don't know if words can adequately describe what your friendship means to me. You are the one who inspired me to write the story that spawned this thread. You also inspired me to write the essay I sent you. I don't know if essay is the right word ofr it, but it's not a work of fiction. I suppose you could call it and ode. You have comforted me in times of sorrow and inspired me to take chances. You are my muse, and my friend. If this public praise embarrases you, I apologize, not for the praise, but for the embarrasment.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled post.

This is exciting for me and I'm happy to share the journey with my Hatrack family. I'm up to 3823 words and loving every minute of the time I spend writing.

I wonder if Orson ever visits this side of the river? I wonder what he'd think of the story I'm writing? I've read through the writing lessons, but would love to get personal feedback from OSC. I think I'd be a little nervous about him reading it, though.

Earlier I singled out one particular Hatracker for special thanks. Just in case anybody's wondering, this Hatracker is a Jatraquera. So it couldn't be Noah or Jon Boy.

Thank you all, and to that particular jatraquera, a very special thank you.

Woo hoo! I'm up to 4166 words. For those who are reading the story, take your time. When you're done, I'd appreciate some feedback. You can post it here or send it by e-mail. If you're that certain, special Jatraquera, you can give me your feedback via AIM.

No. Sorry Papa Moose, it's not Pat. I don't know if this person would want her identity revealed. If she doesn't mind, I'll identify her in this thread, or she can identify herself. Thanks for playing, Papa Moose. Johnny, tell him what he's won. [Wink]
