I agree completely with Matthew, Sol. When I get eight or nine emails in my TNBW inbox it woudl be a good thing to be able to tell who they concern. This goes for Booksie also.

Why not just append the author's name instead of the word "connection"?

The only sticking point I can see is that points garnered here cannot be transferred to anyone else. If they could, I'd be standing in line as I have 850 points.

In the same movie (2001: A Space Odyssey), David Bowman blows the escape hatch of his shuttle and enters a vacuum for around 5 seconds until the ship's emergency hatch slams shut and the air rushes in. Very dramatic, but probably not relevant to what you are asking. I would imagine that a slow leak, plugged just in the nick of time, might cause "the bends" as Vern says. If the leak was small enough, and the air loss slow enough, the humans would eventually lose consciousness, pass out, and eventually disintegrate (ewww) like the scene in Sean Connery's movie "Outland".

Are you ever coming back, Karen? I really miss chatting and reading your story.

I've been writing for quite some time and have never felt the need to get past what I call my "OneCab". It is filled with notes and stuff for each of my stories. OneNote seems nice but only if you are starting out as a new writer. It would take me several months, if not more, to transcribe all the flotsam and jetsam (as Charles points out) into electronic notes. A lot of them are maps which I use to plot travels of my characters. They would have to be scanned in.

If you post in The Next Big Writer Premium, it will be seen by everybody. Not much broader than that.

Isn't it amazing to have chance encounters like that? I was at the Dayton Hamfest and saw a guy who looked slightly familiar. Turned out he was in my radio-oriented Boy Scout troop back in 1958.

Good one, Jack. Back when I was blogging heavily on Wordpress, I used to sign my posts with "T.O.M." which, in my mind meant The Old Man. It sort of morphed into Tom Oldman when I began to write stories and novels.

Way to go, Janet! John Grisham, eh? That's stratospheric!

Sol is referring to a username, Laranice, that got deleted by him as being spam. I got a request too. In fact, I got three such requests in an hour. I denied all three, so my home page is clean.

Hi, John.

Once you edited the new text into the chapter and increment the revision number, you go to the top of the home page and select Portfolio in the right-hand dropdown., Find your story and in the right-hand drop-down of that row, select "Publish Setup". Review the setup and even if you don't change anything, Click the Update Publish Settings button. That should repost your story, deduct points, and put it at the top of the "new stuff" column.
