Good news, thanks to my implemented regimen of finding time to write 2 pages every day (this is going week 4 now), I can schedule Blizzard to post for Monday. Also, I have a volunteer who has agreed to Beta read, he's starting on chapter 1 of Blizzard today hopefully I'll be able to show the fruits of his labor, if not by Monday than for soon after. So thank you, b0b.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, I'm starting to see why most stories boil down to two people talking in a scene. It can get crazy having all of the action and dialog criss-crossing with ten or so people. Halifax is fun to write, but I try not get to overspecific about it. Beaverton is just cookie cutter small town Canada, not quite rural Ontario.

Hey man. This is great stuff. I've just blitzed the first 30 chapters of Monkey Wrench, hadn't seen it before. Your stories are inventive and interesting, characters are charming, and the dialog is snappy. Just one small frustration: pretty much every chapter you write there's at least one line of dialog or bit of action where I can't figure out who said or did it. :) Oh, also it's fun seeing Halifax get weird in stories. (I'm not sure if you've dropped any hints where Beaverton is supposed to be.)

You sure? Always time for a good panic. Glad you liked it!

Ha! I was sure this week was a Monkey Wrench week. Well this week’s update addresses one of my worst fears. But no need to panic yet it seems. I look forward to the next instalment.
