gr8shades, I have to admit I was a little nervous posting this chapter. Although there are no *new* names as such, there are still plenty of names and I was worried that you would have some deep rooted problem with the term "freezer breath" or something. But I guess this isn't the case and you were able to enjoy reading the chapter.
And she gets to meet the family! Yay, I've been waiting for that. Jon and Ellie together are so much fun - like best friends, not just siblings. You wrote that beautifully.
Aw, thanks! I had a lot of fun writing it too. I've been waiting for the chance to write present-day Ellie into the story for a long time. She's a lot of fun!
And I agree, poor Clark. I think men do get the short of the stick sometimes when it comes to wardrobe. Women can wear all these bright colors and men are only allowed the occasional tie, and even then it has to be 'tasteful'.
Terry, that was such a sweet story about you and your sister! Thank you for sharing that.
So I'm glad that Jor and Ellie have that easy loving banter going, where they can insult each other and both understand that neither one means any harm by it. It's when they don't call each other names that they'll really be mad.
Hah! So true!
Laura, thanks for your comments! The chapter I'm working on right now is her revelation... and it's coming along good (that's all I'll say about it for now)
Sira:
Loved Ellie (she did inherit that babble gene, didn't she?)
I kinda see Ellie as very similar to Lois, but without the bad experiences with men to make her cynical and guarded. Of course Ellie has her own character quirks (I never saw Lois as "bubbly") but there are a few definite similarities.
Loved Kaylie's realization that she wanted to tell Jor her secret.
I don't know how he'll react to that. But I bet you'll show us with your wonderful writing, right?
Well, I hope it will be wonderful! We'll have to see what I can pull together with the help of my BR.
Thanks again for all your comments guys. I know my posts have been a little sporadic lately. I've just finished up finals, and my BR has been busy lately with RL stuff, but I'm hoping to get some solid writing done during Christman break, which will help if I get bogged down again.
