Hey Janet

Check your Email re backup/archive site.

I'll do. I use my phone for this e-mail and it doesn't update automatically when I get new messages. So every time I send a bloody message, I all of a sudden have tens of emails to check. grrrrr.....

I'll get to it today! Thanks.

Consider it done.

Really?! Really?!

Whoo-hoo!!!!!!!

I've started revising. Writing a whole new chapter 1 to take one tiny step back and ground readers first before flinging them head first into the chaos of Catherine being shot and Matthew meeting her again.

How does this sound? Keeping in mind that I'm very happy after a couple of (big) glasses of Bailey Irish Liqueur. It's almost as good as Aussie wine! tongue

Her brother had lost his mind! Of all the reckless, foolish plots ever conceived on the border, this one surely took the prize.

If not in all of England.

Also, do you guys think it's a good idea to take this step back... It will reveal so much about Catherine and Anthony it's not funny. Not sure why I haven't done it earlier, but rather late than never I say.

Re: NorthernSkies or NS - Janet

Janet, do you know of Aussie words for nutty or daffy, or nut (noun)? I'm tweaking chapter one.

Thanks

Re: NorthernSkies or NS - Janet

Dirk, as in crazy?

Couple of suggestions that could work, but there's not really anything unique to Aus (I know, a grave oversight for which I apologise, we're usually on top of this game).

Feral
Loose cannon
Mad as a cut snake
Off your head (although this is more when someone is on drugs)

If you give me a little bit of context, I might have a few more suggestions.

ps - these are the more polite ones. smile

Hope this helps!

Re: NorthernSkies or NS - Janet

It's the second exchange with Windsor about becoming a drag queen: I gather you were unimpressed with my last request. Perhaps you are right. Jangaroo is cookoo for cocopuffs.

The last bit needs replacing. Thanks.

Re: NorthernSkies or NS - Janet

ahoy! Backup's not complete yet

Re: NorthernSkies or NS - Janet

Okay, premium expired, and I HAVE to renew as with basic membership, you lose access to ALL your in-line reviews. Even though you received them when you've been been a paying member... Not nice at all.

I've upgraded for the next 3 months - I don't want to lose anything because I've received so much help and good suggestions, it's probably worth paying for it again. smile

Just reminded of a Romance lesson from GG.

Janet are you out there? We're missing you! (Namely, I'm missing you!)

Re: NorthernSkies or NS - Janet

Aussie has masterminded an attack on the Royal Family, resulting in 12 dead Royal Guard officers.
She's about to plan an attack on a parade of teenage cadets. In v2, it was a slaughter. Not sure how to write it for a PG audience.

No wonder she's been busy.

Re: NorthernSkies or NS - Janet

Any word back from Aussie?
