everything is going quite well, and it is thrilling to see that the editing project on 'Taking Chances' is reaching a visible end-point, at which time we are going to have two pieces of material to announce and to attempt publication.  Then things might get very interesting around Bettermost - well, at least I hope they will.

Chapter 80. Fingerprints

http://louisev.livejournal.com/23041.html

A chapter with a classic line:

Carol cut in. “But you do, Joe. You should eat less donuts an get out ridin horses, get yerself in shape.”

“Round’s a shape, Carol,” Joe mumbled as she turned to back to her desk at the fishbowl. Colson sipped on his coffee.

Wee!  Four chapters  ;D

Another great Carol moment in Chapter 80:

“He is. But he’s bringin those to the old folks home. Old folks like plants, unlike stodgy stick in the muds like you Ellery.”   

 :laugh:  Love it - she called Ellery a "fuddy duddy" a few chapters back and now he's a "stodgy stick in the mud."


Yes, Chapter 82 is very aptly titled.

".....his eyes raining tears of relief mingled with despair, and he tumbled, all the way down, into a dark ravine where he hoped he would find Ellery once more, when they both finally stopped falling." 

Wow.

Thanks,
Marie
