Looking forward to the continuing saga :-)

I have an idea of writing a story about my autistic son and switching him with Wesley Crusher on STNG. Once again, I'm bewildered that not a single character was irritated at Wesley. Therefore, the Federation is so integrated that Collin could pop into the bridge and start pushing buttons. Everyone would just smile tolerantly and say, "What a great kid. He has so much potential..."

Could be hilarious to write this.

OK, I've got my next chapter up (after three weeks 'vacation' at work).  I'll tell you, going to Orlando and paying the mouse tax…followed by paying the piper for consecutive days off in a row…and working 8/11…the combination is bad for creative thought.

Beer. I need beer. Beer is good for creative thought. Just one. It lubes the gears. And number 2 is for no reason whatsoever, but makes Amy happy. When Amy is happy, then so is everybody else. Even my characters, who I love to mess with.

Thanks for sticking your toe into that mud puddle.

I'm on my first day off after working 8/11 shifts. I'm sleeping. Wait, I'm…writing…not sleeping?…zzzzzzz.

Have you found an accountant or are you navigating this yourself? Oh, you poor thing. I'm sorry this is getting so irritating.

Let yourself fall into your book and write a section where C and M have a rip-roaring fight. Then you get to write the make-up sex :-)  You go girl!

Make it so you jump into a space time called the Void...or maybe the Ether. Pop in, see ghostly planets, and then poof...you are pulling into the dock of planet B

I wouldn't spend time trying to work within the current laws of physics because it doesn't work under our current science. Just have a vent hold for a black hole that ejects matter and accelerates you as fast as you want. (You could call it the ass-blaster, but that name is already taken by the monsters in Tremors. Love that series.)

Roman pimples. Pop!

(I caught a splenic laceration at work...Amy reaches out and catches the ball...woot woot! I'm drinking a beer at 9 AM!)

Too much like Stargate SG1. (Alien race star lanes). Consider gravity lanes. It is a concept that is still being understood, so you can make stuff up. Imagine that the sun is like a magnet. Travel away from the magnet and the pull is less, so the ship can be pulled into another star's gravity well. By traveling through the tubes, you can negate the gravity attraction of your origin and be pulled into position by the destination.

Some star systems are better hubs because if their relation to black holes. So it might take you one jump to get to a star 5000 light years away, but five jumps to get to Alpha Centauri.

I should write Sci fi but I gotta finish the next chapter first.

NJC, I'm aiming for a trip to Seattke next year. Work has to cool down first and the new hires have to be trained. God, I can't wait until July is over with...one day at a time.
