Commas are so commonly used, yet they are such a pain!!!!!!! And some writers seem to be comma fanatics while others prefer unending sentences 😛

For The Point of Travores, I think I have the skeleton down, though I’m missing a few bones and basically all of the flesh 😛 I’m going to re-do the entire thing, now that I think I know what I’m doing. And yeah, you feel sorta like you gotta get every little detail in; but I’ve found that if you just sit on it, things pop into your head unbidden, and you start to get some bones or at least a couple ligaments. Or, like Andrew Peterson did, starting with a map might be helpful; although I’ve never drawn a map from imagination and I have no idea how big the paper would have to be 😛

And, actually, your story sounds really engaging (and it looks as if you’ve got at least the entire skeleton)! Don’t laugh at it; if anything, you could keep it in mind and maybe after a while you’ll see it from a different perspective and how you could write it again. That’s what happened with The Point. I love the idea of Sahina being his brother, and that word: Katir’kar. So cool! But where does Evlarin fit into all of it? I’m just curious, bc it’s got to be something interesting 😀 And shadow wolves were once people? What?……

Yes!!! It’s amazing how long it takes to do ONE LONELY PAGE!

And thanks (about the quote)!

I’m so glad you didn’t mind the length!! And don’t all fancy instrument instructions use uncanny and unnerving words? 😛 How much instruction does it take to use a microscope!? Now, I’ve never had to use one, so I don’t know.

I love your moon-man and sun-boy idea! Personally, I love making things that “aren’t” things that “are”, like making Life a person. They’re such fun concepts.

Thank you! And it is fun; it makes things come alive….

I only noticed one typo:

“She was no brave person; not like Sam, who had insisted in sleeping downstairs on the couch.”

Aha! Thank you!

I can’t say anything about commas, I’m terrible at them. Though, if you and Thwapling are comma happy, am I comma depressed? My poor commas…I will have to get them some therapy or something.

Ha ha, you are funny. Comma therapy…. 😛 Commas are such persnickety little things. And thank you for the suggestion on Holly and her sister! Looking back, yeah, that was awkward 😛

And you guys are into Greek? Super cool! You might be able to read an original Bible someday, lol. I’m doing Latin, and love in Latin is “amo,” if I remember right. Actually, it means “I love,” so yeah…. And then you have all these different forms and stuff…… is Greek like that?

Sorry it took me so long to get back to y’all! Thank you, again, for you time 😉
