I’m glad you didn’t quit  

Thanks, B. I remember Morningstar scaring the hell out of me. The idea of it. Like, could I really pull this off? Not only a shifter story  , but a mystery that kept readers interested and engaged? I knew I could write short fantasy stories, but an epic on the scale of Cards on the Table? There were already so many good shifter stories out there, so could I write something different... something unique? Bloody terrifying, but it helped that I had all this amazing support from readers who kept telling me they would read whatever I wrote, so I kept piling up chapters until I really had no choice but to start posting (somewhere around twenty chapters were written before I found the courage. 

I am so proud of the finished product, how I wove it all together and didn't fuck it up. If I never write a Book 2, it won't diminish what I've accomplished with this one story.

 Of course it describes you… she always calls you her sexy lumberjack 

I can't decide who I should be jealous of...  Clo or Gary.

Hey, I'm the one that calls @Headstall Handsome! Clo clearly decided to copy me in giving him a nickname!

Calling me Charles is preferable to 'Drewdo'  

Oh No!  The royal censors missed this.  That word is supposed to be redacted!

Redacting the word would've made my sentence ambiguous: was I talking about the clearly inaccurate 'hobbit' name or the word that describes truth as a lie?

So I chose to make an exception, and not redact anything.

How about a word for both? Drew do do.

Handsome, please think of the sea turtle's wellbeing...

Good Evening All!  I'm glad the world survived the night!  It was very nice to wake up to the sound of birds and bright sunlight.

I've spoken with the sea turtles... there was unanimous agreement that Drewdo was a cute nickname and we're keeping it.  Sorry there was a vote and everything.  Remember how there's supposedly democracy in the Empire and stuff?

Hey Drew!   I hope you are listening to all the advice and encouragement given.  Now get to work and start writing.  

[raven1]

Hey Gary!   With the blacksmith coming tomorrow make sure to have everything ready, especially you and your bedroom.  Be a good boy scout.

The vote is invalid. y'all should've went through the proper channels and received my approval before y'all had a vote.

Hey bro, hope you are recovering well from your adventures last weekend.  Reading all about that made me so jealous, that might have to make it on my bucket list.   

I do my best, honestly I was walking into work with a bit of a case of the "Mondays" and I spent probably more time on the phone then I should have today, but I was smiling all day long.  Still got my work done though.

Hey Terry! I especially appreciated that advice on jotting down couplets for later use.

Careful or you'll start sounding tyrannical.

But it perfectly encapsulates my disdain as an elite to the complaints of the peasantry.

So are you going to be the mean old granny or should be atart calling you Charles? 

Yeah I'm afraid he's planning to use the same one as Charles did...  Guess I won't be getting in a car anytime soon

Congratulations Clo!  I am sure you will manage to make sure the new hubby isn't influenced by an interfering relative.  How old is the husband to be?
