Brilliant minds! I have a plan too, and it involves admiration from all kinds of people as well as a few surprises and Anthony of course - I think if Matthew gives him a solid hiding, there won't be too many readers upset about it! LOL

You're the best Amy, this is taking reviewing someone WIP to the next level (thinking how you can solve someone else's problems and it's appreciated - not only me, I'm sure of that).

I'll get to the reviews after work today! Thanks!!!!!

Nah, I don't think this one was the worse. And I agreed with you all the way, except for one (sort of). Note - this is not to say I want to see a second review, just that you don't need to feel bad about it!

Now for the bad bad news. This chapter has awakened the reviewer beast in K apparently. So I think he's taking care of it good this round around (if I'm very very lucky, he won't get around to doing a NS spreadsheet! LOL). And Amy hasn't been around yet either. So see, I knew I shouldn't have posted the bloody chapter! Dirk just better hope the beast is tired when K's done with my poor Chapter 7 before he does more reviews - it's not pretty (pig with lipstick stuff, I tell ya)! LOL

And thanks for the review njc, it's appreciated as always!

So not true too. I have binders full of inventions by women to choose from. You can keep your stupid circular saw because it is a well known fact (well, to most of the population in any case) that the bicycle has been invented by a woman. Which one do you think saved more lives?

Maybe not K, his plans are all majestic!

Almost done checking it. But it's not going happen tonight. Tomorrow night looks good. [How this for raising tension of a different kind?! hehehe]

Thanks guys!

I honestly thought they would maybe go for half a chapter at most when I started writing the damn thing. I blinked, and then it was (more than) enough words for a stand-alone chapter. So I guess they want to talk (while convincing themselves they don't want to jump on top of each over of course!). I've given it enough time to rest, so hopefully when I review it tonight for obvious mistakes, I'd have a fresh set of eyes to look at it.

There is some exposition, but not overly so and on various things. The only thing I like about the thing is it shows how Catherine handles stress and that Matthew is all worried about her (something he'd never done of course hehehe). Or I think it does, at least. And it's in Matthew's POV - the previous chapter gave me no gap to flip POV's around. Another alternative would be just to give his POV as a flashback, so it will all depend on the reviews - I'll ask the question when I post too.

And just for you, Dirk, I'll keep a few (easy) nits for you to pick on!

I'll probably post it tomorrow night at the latest. Unless I find the Netball World Championship match on-line (for free), then all bets are off. It's one of the things I'm missing most since the move - netball, watching it and playing it. It's like basketball, just completely different.

I'm glad this week is over. It officially ended Friday evening 10pm. The last meeting was ... dinner. I love food (too much to be honest LOL) but even being fed wasn't enough to not make me wish it was over already.

Okay, so I have done a few reviews today at least. Yesterday was a complete loss. Totally. I have NOTHING to show for it. I may have made lunch for the kids. Maybe. I am so good at procrastination, I'm actually tired from doing nothing. All the while I have my next chapter written, I just need to check it and post it, but ... I don't think it's a good chapter. After a WHOLE chapter of Catherine and Matthew talking, I give you another (WHOLE) chapter of ... wait for it ... Catherine and Matthew talking. Granted, I've thrown in some stuff readers don't know about their past and a little peck of a kiss and it's Matthew's POV, but it still feels like too much talking and that I should've somehow combined this chapter and the last one I have posted. But even now, with the second chapter written, I have no way in hell how to do that.

Now, now, I know Amy will be first in line with the rest of you dears following shortly behind her to tell me to just post the bloody thing and see what the reviews come out as and not allow it to keep me from writing on. So I'm now busy to build up the courage to post something I'm not entirely happy with. I know I have to do it. But, but ... Okay, I'll just see if I can fix some first grade spelling and grammar and punctuation mistakes at least, and then I'll go all Nike on its arse. Unless I find something else more interesting (and easier) to do, like reading Gilbert toons ...

Anyways, I hope you at least enjoyed the insight into my current frame of mind and are not too frightened and will still talk to me. Honestly, it's only bad meetings that make me bat shit crazy (stupid/ridiculous/insert any word you were thinking while reading this mess). Really!

The good news is, next week is looking good to get some work done!

$450 is reasonable. Try $400 for two years although it should really be $400 for THREE years, but when you send through the forms, it takes them 5 months to send you the card and then they have also shaved 6 months off the 3 years in addition ... And if we decide to stay another two years and renew my visa, hubby will probably have to send them another $400 .... It may just be cheaper to move to Canada, so I hope K has more spare rooms to spare for a few more curses in about 2.5 years time!

Okay, that's funny!

I'll take it as a yes which makes it 3oo3 (so far). *phew* Thanks K!!!!

It's all yours Dirk! No need to thank me, if you think M is fine so far, what more do I need? Thanks!
