it is hard to get a perspective of the dynamic of an entire day or an entire week reading a story chapter by chapter... but I can't see any of you HOLDING OFF just so you can read a week's worth of chapters at a time... can you?

Good Lord woman, are you mad! I refesh every few hours. Hope my boss doesn't decide to check my internet access logs. Could just imagine his face if he saw the content of I'm reading at lunchtime.  :o

Karen's Boss:


"Give me my SNACK?"  What the hell is this!  Get back to work!

I could almost sense the Junior angst getting ready to make everybody burst a blood vessel...!

I sure felt that way!

Louise - I think about this all the time - how hard it is to have perspective and other oddities associated with 'publishing' one chapter at a time... but you're right, as long as you post them one at a time... that's how I'll read them, as long as life, work, time, etc. allows.

Slightly OT, but The Outlaw Josey Wales has just started on the TV, and I'm havin a good old giggle to myself imaging Ennis's reaction. Or Ellery teasing him.  ;D

Caption for this one:

I developed a lot of muscles in these fingers in X-Men, and that comes in really handy in my upcoming film.

My word! Imagine coming home from a hard days work on the horse ranch to find that on your sofa.

Have to say, the London bobby doesn't really compare very favourably!

I feel a bit lightheaded.  :)

Louise, what a totally perfect picture.
