James. Thanks for the encouragement. I'll have to give the soundtrack a try... it could stir the creative juices. It is good to hear that you are thinking that it is getting better. I forget the possibility that people might actually enjoy the story and when I get feedback like that it encourages me to keep writing.

Get that computer drawing pad! That sounds awesome. Take all the time you need. Any scene you are thinking of sketching first?

Lord of the Rings soundtrack while I read...

I listened to the Lord of the Rings soundtrack while I read your latest version... and it was incredible! There is a lot of great imagery going on here, and I really like the way you are structuring the foreshadowing. I think in the last version, the reader may have been given a little too much ahead of time. I know that part of that had to do with the fact that you weren't considering the graphic novel as a medium for your story at that time. But now I think you've tapped into the potential of coupling graphic narration with your well-crafted written narration. Keep up the good work... I will try to work on some sketches, but I apologize ahead of time if I don't produce much before the end of the holidays. I'm also hoping to get a wacom digital drawing tablet pretty soon, so that will hopefully light a fire under my rear. I love the story - it keeps getting better!

Thanksgiving was great. How was your holiday? I haven't had a moment to spare lately, but I am actually in the process of reading your new version right now, so I hope to get back to you soon.

and this is me and john mccain

How was your Thanksgiving?

This is Billy

No problem... I understand how the creative process can unfold. This busy time of year doesn't help the endeavor either. Take your time, and we'll pick up when you're ready.

The dream is not dead...

It is taking longer than I thought to write out the description for you. But it is coming...
