Great job of including the prayer. It flowed and wasn’t stilted.

Take what Temple says with a grain of salt.Dont get me wrong, the girl has skilz, but she lacks a teaching bug. Take it that you need to work on dialogue and that is all. I usually read my stuff out loud to get the voices right. Then I have the computer read it to me. It lets you hear stilted phrasing and unnatural wordings. It can sometimes be a quick fix

Keep reading and you’ll find out:-)

I have a new chapter published in Mantle of Magic. I got everybody to the Pass. Now I need a beer to celebrate. About time that I published something new.

Oh, it is just a guess, but size shouldn't matter with scurvy since Vit C is a water soluble vitamin and whatever you don't metabolize gets peed out. It just matters when your last dose occurred.

Can someone please tell me why there is a comma in the following sentence: T i a thought they might have more landing areas closer to the centre, but couldn’t make any out. I lifted that sentence from Kdot, so I assume it's correct, but I can't find any online rules about this one.
