*HUGS* Why do you think you haven't gotten chapter 13 yet? A story is just a story. You, my friend, are much more than a story. Let me me know when things calm down for you and I "might" start chapter 13 and think about handing it off to you. I KNOW the readers will wait. YOU, Wayne, are very important to a lot of people as our friend. I don't know what CIA was talking about because I KNOW everyone that has ever worked with you LOVES you!!!

ghostboy, you are wise beyond your years.

Which voice in my head do I listen to, to answer that question?

editor

I have a excellent editor in Ryan, but he is really busy. It takes a week to get the chapter back from him. I have no idea if that is a lot of time or normal. But I feel I need to post once a week if I can.

Who is looking for chapter 13?

Thank you Wayne You call call me boy anytime you like. Just never call me late for supper. The Doctor tells me I still need to gain 30+ pounds, so I can't miss supper

Trials and Tribulations is being received a lot better than I ever imagined when I began the story. I know the heart of the story is coming from within me, my experiences, love, and desires; but without the work my editors and beta reader have put into this story, I fear a lot of what makes the story what it is, would be missing. When I first decided to try writing a story, I asked people I had met in the chat room and other people I knew online if they would edit for me. Believe me, I definitely needed one. Of all the people I asked, only one offered to help, and that was Trevor. Trevor was as excited about the story as I was, if not more. He was always there pushing me for more and more. He was exactly what I needed. I felt like I was taking too much of his time and decided to find another editor to help to take a little of the work load off of Trevor and give him more time to be young and in love. However, finding someone I could depend on proved harder than I thought it would. After the story started to have a following, more people offered to help, but I never heard back from them when it came time for the actual work. I guess that's the way of it in most endeavors. Yet, in their defense, I'm not all that good in the english department, since I've had no formal training since grade school. So, the task of editing for me is never a easy job. Which makes me appreciate Trevor all the more. In fact, I was right about taking up too much time from Trevor and he asked to be released so he could spend more time with someone. So the search was on to find a new editor. But I did find a really good editor in Fitz. He does a really smashing job. However, because of all the corrections he has to make, it takes a while before getting each chapter ready to publish. Just remember, it's my fault the delays that comes up, and not Fitz's fault. I think I do a pretty job at writing the meat and bones of the story, but what gives the story the twinkle is Wayne, aka ComicFan. He has been my beta reader since chapter 5. I'm sure if you read back or think back, you will observe a mark improvement from that time forward, Wayne is always there to bounce ideas off of and to help me make the story a little better, I can never thank him enough for all the help he has given. Trevor, Fitz, and Wayne aren't the only people that have helped me with this story. Others have helped me with medical terms and legal terms as well. I'm sure those of you that will read this will have read chapter 12 by now and noticed the introduction of the Druids in Andy's family history. I have also had some help from a friend here at GA in learning the history of the Druids and other 'old traditions'. For the time being, I will be posting chapters prior to editing and update the chapter when the editing is complete. However, if this proves to be an embarrassment to me and/or GA, I will discontinue this practice. I owe so much to Trevor, Fitz, and Wayne. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.

I want to know, but do I need to remember the question?

onomatopoeia

WoW I would have to say, everyone of these stories would be movies I would pay to see. How we need is money and an awesome director

So, Ghost and I wasn't invited?

Thank you Steve for a wonderful review Druids, isn't the termed used. The old term used here and isn't spoke of much these days is granny witch or water witch. It's weird in a way that so much has been brought forth in this story in only one week time frame. When I stop and think about it, I don't how normal or abnormal that is for a story. However, I think a lot is going to happen this coming week, only the second week of school. So, fasten your seat belts and hang on

Thank you so much for an awesome review! Joey is a sweetheart that I could have fallen for. Thank you for reading Trials and Tribulations Without you guys, I'd just be writing for my own amusement.

Thank you Conner. Stories doesn't always have to be one bad thing after another. Life is filled with ups and downs. So is this story. Yeah, Druids

Chapter 12 is now posted. I hope you enjoy it

As for the winners, the voting by every member continues through most of the month. I forget the exact cut-off date. Thanks for the site error I took care of it I was kind of concerned that the sermon was going to come across as too heavy, but with a couple of changes, I think I got it just right. I'm sure I did with your reaction. Thank you for a wonderful review. Reviews like yours make it all worth while.

Thanks Wayne, it means a lot coming from you!

Yup, camping I love to camp, so did Brady and Mark As for Roger, he has shared a bed with Andy for most of his life. What's one more cutie? JT and his buddies will be who they are. Thank you for another awesome review
