Ah, ok. That seems misleading, though, as the "secret" Nana is telling is actually of the girls' heritage and has nothing to do with dragons. If I flip it around as it is written now, it would sound like she's telling him about the dragons when in all reality, the creation myth is common knowledge. At this point, I'm half-tempted to make the creation myth an "interlude" or something of the sort.

I've been writing lots of tid-bits recently, so a lot of my previously posted chapters will be filled out or I'll be putting wholly new chapters in between. In short, a lot of reorganizing will ensue.

The movie 300 came out 9 years ago, although I didn't watch it until a few years after it came out. I have friends who watch a movie with some guy that's 10+ years older and they "ooh" and "ahh" at him, but I just never understood. I can see why they are attractive, but I couldn't tell you how attractive if I was asked.

Not sure that makes sense, but I've always been that way. Too far out of my "radar" and I just can't give an opinion.

I have two bottles in my fridge... plus loads of chocolate from Christmas. I could celebrate on your behalf? ;D

Yes, I could, but I think I like it too much. The prologue can be skipped without any serious impact on the story itself.

I'll have to cast my vote to Janeway. I've always liked the idea that she's a scientist as well as a commanding officer. Besides, coffee is so much better than tea (earl grey, of course).

Is there a word to oppose "nocturnal"? I feel like there should be one.

Cats are pretty awesome (I have one myself), but I've always loved dogs. In fact, I think my cat might be part dog... Sometimes the way she behaves is a teensy bit suspicious. Like greeting me at the door after work.

*gasp*

Alright, I don't know what the deal is with the review box. It hates me. Only missed one sentence, but oh well... here's the full review.

"Hey Amy! First of all, I really need to learn from your action scenes. Absolutely wonderful.

All of your descriptions are very clear to me except for one small detail. When you say "Alda was frozen...", do you mean that she couldn't move out of fear, or that she was pinned between shields (as these are described in the previous sentence) ? At first, I thought she was pinned, but now that I look back on it, the former makes more sense.

"Tazar was going to climb down here to safety if she had to improvise a corset and put him in a dress." <- This one made me laugh. "

A slight suggestion, based on the actual age of your characters. If the boy asks her to explain God directly, have her ponder it and respond that she doesn't really know. Then, throughout the book, you can have him ask her why she does certain things and have her respond with "Because that's what God would do." or something... Again, just a suggestion. Religion is typically easier to explain through actions rather than words, especially for children.

Yes. At this point, I have characters who are currently teenagers (and a couple adults that haven't been introduced yet) and I know where I want them to be when they're adults (or adultier adults), but the timeline in between is basically one massive ball of scribbles.

Glad I'm not the only one. lol

Ahh! Finally moved, although my desk is literally in pieces. Like a dork, I completely forgot to copy my most recent chapter from my writing software to my Dropbox folder, so I can't work on it from my laptop. I'll get it done soon, I swear!
