Summary:

I sat down one day and wrote my first science fiction. I PLEASE READ NOVEL INSTEAD: THE MIRACULOUS ---I thought it foolish and pulp-fiction. I sent out a second draft and it was published. http://www.kalkion.com/category/author/max-keanu This is a new and interesting science fiction site with some sharp Indian scientists running the code and strategy behind it. Here is a rewrite I need feed-back on if you have a moment. I am thinking of taking character Captain Guider and writing a story about his first voyage as a youthful space wander in 3910. A.D. I am jazzed and motivated about this and thank Keen for his help. Hey! Thanks Bob.

Thanks to everyone for your very helpful reviews. I revised the story accoringly. Feedback needed: Did I break the dialogue into too many paragraphs? I also combined a couple of sentences. Did that leave me with too many "series" sentences? ie. "She would want to know my new salary, if Mrs.Whipple would still be my secretary, the color scheme of my office, and most importantly, what Mr. Wyatt and his secretary were wearing." Lastly, I'm interested in nits. Your honesty would be greatly appreciated.
