I would never have guessed, I was going for belated Christmas lights or something because you can.  But this is much nicer, hats off to you!

It would've been handy, but way less exciting/challenging! 

Not sure if you've mentioned this already, if you had, I missed it.  But where do you intend to use this?

amy has trained you well!  hehehehe

Intent is to kill.  And the victim will not make it as part of the story-line.

njc, tread carefully calling it bolts when someone is close with a crossbow, apparently they get really upset if you don't call it arrows as bolts imply it's not archery.  Go figure.  Lengths vary, but were up to 14 inches long, so more than enough to pin someone in place through a not too thick body part.  But even if a shorter one was used, I don't think you'll be lifting your head soon anyways.

Thanks for this!

amy!!!!!!  I need help please!!!!
* crosses fingers and toes hoping amy can hear me shout her name desperately whereever she is *

At some point in NS, someone is going to be punched hard and will land flat on their back.  The puncher will then shoot the punchee with a crossbow through the neck/throat, pinning him to the ground basically.

So now I'm wondering, apart from the entry and exit wounds, would blood also come out of the victim's mouth like you see in the movies?  And how long would the victim suffer before he eventually dies?  I'm also assuming speaking would be impossible.

Yeah, things are going to get worse before it gets any better!

Much appreciated!

I'm assuming you still can i.e. it's not in print and you have a trillion copies ready to sell.  Then yes, I would, irrespective of whether my writing is good enough.  I would not be able to leave it.  Now, if it's been printed and I have a trillion copies to sell, that'd probably be my last book.  I'll then take up painting.

Jack, I'd like to know what the minor plot hole was in "Teammates"?!  Wow, and even your editor missed it.  Makes one wonder why you bother with TNBW and editors, huh? 

oops, sorry, I forgot about max!    *blushes prettily*

In all seriousness, I agree with your last sentence - keep on writing no matter what your "speed" or ability!  This is what the site is here for, not to break down, but to improve.

Hope you keep on improving on your typing speed!  All the best, and it's great that you're keeping at it! 

We're professional and focused like that! 

You're too busy!!!!  But I'll add it to the list! 

I'm easily distracted, so njc made me forget about men and chocolates and all that, and made remember my all-time favourite ice bear joke:

Mommy Bear and Baby Bear are walking.
Baby Bear asks Mommy Bear: "Mum, am I an ice bear?"
"Yes, honey, you are."
Five minutes later.  "Mum, are you sure I am an ice bear?"
Mum frowns.  "Yes, honey, I am."
Five minutes later.  "Mum, are you really really sure I am an ice bear?"
Fed-up, mum raises her voice.  "Yes, I'm sure, you are an ice bear.  What's with all the questions?"
"It's just that I'm fucking cold."

Which makes me think of my favourite ice joke:

Eskimo digs a hole in the ice and drops his line.  After ten minutes, a deep voice from above says:  "There are no fish under the ice."
Eskimo looks up and around, and decides to try another spot.  Digs a hold, drop the line, and once again the same deep voice says:  "There are no fish under the ice."
So once more the Eskimo moves on, dig a hole and drops his line.  Five minutes later, the deep voice says again:  "There are no fish under the ice."
Eskimo looks up, and asks:  "God?  Is that you?"
"No," says the deep voice.  "This is the ice rink manager."

And now I'm get back to reading, reviewing and writing!
