    skinnydragon commented on skinnydragon's story chapter in Late June

    Thanks, Lisa! Toph has a lot of 'finding out' to do before the wedding. I like that you see Toph as strong. It wasn't many chapters ago that several reviewers complained he was following all his friends' suggestions instead of standing on his own. So, he's certainly made progress. Now, is he ready to enter the lion's cage and tame his mother?

    Thanks, CG! Whether she's the root of of all or not, she is certainly complicit. And that little fact will push Toph towards a showdown. Time is running out.

    Thanks, Tim! Yeah, I think Toph is way off-base with his worry about Gary being pushed away by Toph's needs. Toph is going to need to confront his mother though. Someway, somehow he needs a resolution. And time is running out with the wedding looming. So, expect the unexpected.

    Thanks, Parker! Toph is very smart. He's beginning to put the pieces together all by himself. Is he smart enough to be victorious on his own, without even the general at his side? Nothing would declare his independence quite as surely as that.

    Thanks, spikey! Moms little reveal was pretty significant, wasn't it. Up to now, we only had Toph's perspective on Gary's at-bats last fall, and it wasn't very favourable. It's understandable no one trusted him--the readers, I mean. Winding down is right! Only 3 chapters to go.

    Thanks, Lux! Yes, that hug revealed a ton of stuff, didn't it.

    Thanks, Graeme! Hmmm. Toph being studied in classrooms--what a scary thought.

    skinnydragon commented on skinnydragon's story chapter in Early June

    Thanks, Lisa! It's funny, when I read what I wrote for the last scene, I got choked up too--and I hadn't expected it would come across that way. I still don't know why it does.

    Thanks, Randy! There's no doubt Toph has mad a huge move forward. Some is because of Gary, but Toph, too, is gaining confidence.

    skinnydragon commented on skinnydragon's story chapter in Early April

    Thanks, Randy! Yeah, that did seem like an abrupt turnaround. This will develop a little later in the story. Toph processes things slooowwwly, as I'm sure you've noticed.

    Thanks, Randy! That's for sure! Stress and creativity never get along in my head either.

    Clearly, I remember the first time. I remember the first time clearly. I clearly remember the first time. It was a surprise. For me, that is. It was a surprise to me. It was certainly a surprise to him, without a doubt. There were two of us astonished. Two of us were astonished, but for different reasons. The feeling which stunned me was the ease with which it had happened. The feeling which stunned him was the undeniable fact he was about to die. I never did learn his name. I never harbored il

    Parker, you've outdone yourself. I wish I had been on earlier, because when I began to write this review, I saw Gary had quoted the very same line I had copied and was about to paste!! That line tickled me more than most anything every has. Was that the line that wouldn't leave you, or was it my own abode was the open road? Doesn't matter--really entertaining work here, my friend!

    Hoho! Your little bit of introspection has pulled the veil covering the uncomfortable truth which lies within us all! So well expressed, Gary. So many stingingly familiar phrases. But my favorite was unfamiliar to me: "time's balm." Yes, that is what allows us, every one, to survive!

    I begged Gary for a recovery day. Sunday, the sixteenth, was the day after his party; the day after his parents surprised us both with Texas Boys. Those boys will now smile upon us every day from the living room wall. Last night in bed I had intensively grilled him, but Gary professed innocence. He had no idea how his parents knew the importance of the painting, which placed all our suspicions directly on Luke. Reflecting a bit, we realized he was the only one who had known my reluctance to part

    Thanks, Randy! Yeah, it seems we're on the edge of something happening--finally.

    Chapter 4

    skinnydragon commented on mitchelll's story chapter in Chapter 4

    I like Kelly. I think Joseph has been good for him, and we certainly know he's been good for Joseph. This is a very interesting story, mitchelll, thanks for sharing!

    Excellent chapter, mitchelll ! Loose ends ...loose cannons ...and a not-lost Dad. Also, a touch of a cliffie to help keep our attention --well done!

    Chapter 3

    skinnydragon commented on mitchelll's story chapter in Chapter 3

    Wow! I finally caught up with your story mitchelll ! I like it. It's easygoing and flows along with enough stops to look at details which makes itself all the richer. Nice going! Sooo ...OFB huh? I gather that will be the first step on the road to ORB. They seem to get along really well and are surely becoming good friends. Always a nice extra to any relationship which, of course, they don't have.

    I love this story Comsie; I always have. The pace of their little dance is simply perfect!

    An excellent chapter, Rex. Using Willie was perfect!
