    3300 words of a new chapter! I'm getting there.
  2. Headstall
    I agree... she's only eight.
  3. Headstall
    Good tidings to you all!

    Hello, earthlings.
  5. Headstall
    Isn't @Drew Espinosa one of your fangirls?

    Another chapter finished. 3600 words before editing. On to the next... but not today. I'm going to nap.
  7. Headstall
    I have been writing for over two hours non-stop. Woot!

    Hello, all. Feel like a human today.
  9. Headstall
    That sucks, Tink. Take care of yourself.

    3000 words of a new chapter... about four days work I think... time has no meaning... need a nap.

    Greetings and salutations.

    Hello, all.

    This epilogue still gives me the warm fuzzies (and Jack is no small part). So happy to hear you enjoyed this story, Benny. I'm working on a new one at the moment, another western, but I never forget about my older stories. I like happy endings, and I love love. Not every story ends with a proposal, but it was right for this one. Thank you so much for reading and commenting. It is truly appreciated as I recuperate from pneumonia. Miserable winter. Cheers, friend!

    Aww... thanks, Benny! I'm pleased you found them so. This story was well received, well beyond my expectations, and was a bout something I wanted to write about for a while. Jimmy and Drake had their obstacles, but in the end, neither was willing to give up. Love is such a wonderful thing. Thank you for taking the journey and giving me a boost. Just the epilogue to go.
  15. Headstall
    Yeah... gut punch for sure. Drake took a huge step, and even faced with Victoria for the first time, he was able to push away those thoughts because he does trust Jimmy. Love isn't always enough, but saying it to the person you love is better than keeping it in.

    I hated seeing Jimmy this way. Our Superman is locking himself away in the fortress of solitude. It's great the Drake has had an epiphany, but is it too late? God bless Callie, though. It appears she is the smartest one in the family.
  17. Headstall
    Callie is the best! Drake has put his foot in it again. I swear he really is his own worst enemy. Uh-oh is right. It would appear Dean is pulling away, and this time he is the one who has his defenses up.

    I let readers decide how they felt about Richard. I gave an honest portrayal of a man struggling to find his sexuality while being in love with someone of the wrong gender. I judge Richard, and how he did things, but to this day I haven't pinned down what my feelings are about him. There is some of my life in this story, bits and pieces... I faced judgement from the community because I took a different route, and had my four kids. There was so much pain during that time.... That kiss, though, that was so not cool. Richard might be happy, but he's messed up too. Sad. Thanks, Benny. This chapter has me in my feelings. Cheers!

    Drake is at war with himself. He has this defensive mode he goes into where he uses his stubbornness as a shield. Hurt people resort to all kinds of defaults. In his heart, he knows Jimmy is genuine, but his head won't allow him the room to evolve on this one point. He does not trust those who weren't always sure of their sexuality. The saddest thing is, it sounds like Jimmy always was sure. Victoria was never going to be a lasting thing. What happened to Jimmy was awful, and highlights the difference in the two men. Drake is not a bad person, but he would do well to let Jimmy rub off on him. Baggage can rob us of opportunities for love if we let it. Thanks, my friend. I am enjoying this.

    I don't even try to use my phone for commenting. It's too frustrating. I'm old, and am stubborn in staying with a 17" laptop my kids make fun off. "Dad, it's too big!" They wanted to buy me a tablet, but I warned them not to.
  21. Headstall
    I love how you give a synopsis in your comments, quoting pivotal lines. Yeah, Drake is running. He's good at it. I don't think I've written another character who shows his love in every word and action, always honest and authentic. Did I already say I love Jimmy? Two and a half years later, and Richard still holds some power over Drake. I know that feeling. Thanks, Benny! Cheers!

    I love cross country train rides. The subway, not so much. Your other comment was for chapter four... chapter 3, the altercation between Preston and them in the kitchen was an important one for me. Maybe it's a bit of social commentary, but it hits at the heart of that attitude gay folk have to face all the time. Sure, sex is part of any relationship, but it's not all we are, and Preston needs to rot in hell for the things he said to his brother. Jimmy, though, deserves a medal. Cheers!
  23. Headstall
    Jimmy is a brave guy, and he's not afraid of anything. He's being true to himself in confronting his feelings head on, and he's being true to both of them whether Drake realizes it or not. The revelations from Dot explain a lot of things in chapter four. I don't know any family, at least in mine, that doesn't have big secrets. Preston's insecurity is kind of sad, but it's hard to feel sorry for him. Thanks, friend. Love being back here with these guys. Cheers... G.

    The finality of it... the loss of opportunities between you... is a difficult thing to navigate. Acceptance is the first hurdle, and maybe the hardest one. Remember to take care of yourself, brother.
  25. Headstall
    Sorry, bro. That is so sad.
