I think this kind of thread is a first. Your story is that good! I want the book! Keep up the good work and kiss your muse for me. I totally agree with Laura!

Your "updates" are helping and there really isn't any pressure to post another chapter as soon as possible  (there is, but I won't admit that there is so much pressure  ). Keep on writing!

Update - I have 24 written except for the last scene. I'm going to break my normal rule and post 17 before finishing 24. Should be about one hour  Assuming when I read it, I don't hate it Corrina.

Happy Anniversary, Laura. And thanks for the kiss for my muse. It must have inspired him - yesterday I finished 24, got the whole of 25 written and started 26. Thanks!
And Pat - hi! I'm so glad you're still reading. I remember after I posted the Prologue, you said some really nice things about how you figured this story might turn out something other than a torture-fest. I hope you haven't been disappointed.
I'll edit 25 a couple of times, send it to the BRs, and then post 18.
Corrina.

Update - I'm really enjoying the parts I'm writing now. 26 is finished. I should edit it and send it to the BRs, but I'm too eager to write 27. I have a big weekend (footy season starts  ), so the plan is to post 19 on Friday evening and 20 early next week. Latest estimate is Trail will be 30 parts. Story 4 is called 'Highway'.  Back to T27! Corrina. (All times are Australian EDST )

So Lois will be back to form in part 4 since Highway could easily symbolize 'It's my way or the highway' ?

the plan is to post 19 on Friday evening My brain just jumped on the hamster wheel and started thinking, "OK, so Friday evening ... that means Friday morning my time ... it's only Thursday morning ... 24 hours ... I can do it ... just be patient ... arrrrgh!" It's a very, very good sign when a writer is so into a story that she doesn't even want to send a finished chapter off to her BR. Yippee! Glad it's flowing well for you. And now we have a title for the next story. Woo hoo! Kathy

My muse has been in a frenzy the past few days. We've reached the final chapter of Trail (29) - which is why I've been so slack in replying to FDK. Corrina.

I'd rather you finish the story then reply. Awesome job, as usual.

Finished Trail this morning ... (That is written, not edited or made fit for public consumption.) However, I'm excited because very soon, I can start Highway!! Corrina.

I just returned from taking care of my 9 year old granddaughter at the beach. We both got sunburned and worn out so we slept each night. But, I didn't take a computer so when I returned yesterday I had 3 parts to read! I cannot recommend doing it in a lump, because there is such a void left when you get to the end of it. I sit here re-reading all the FDK hoping someone would give me a new idea so I could use my imagination for a while until the next installment comes out.
Corrina, you have taken us to the New Krypton planet, taught us about footy, and now you have us living in the world that Trask built. There were so many others before those that consumed our days, but each stands alone.
Hi, I'm Pat, and I'm still addicted to TMTY!
