Happy Easter!

Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail... :)
   I hope everyone is enjoying your Easter, whether you are religious or not. (I'm not, it's family time)
Okay, on to the news:
   Gord and Jacob passed Princess Rescue Inc back to me, I passed it on to be proofread by another person. That person will pass it back to me for corrections and then I'll pass it on one more time. Hopefully you will see it by the end of April, if not sooner. :)
   I'd like to welcome Thomas to proofreading, he just finished proofing the short story "Nohar" aka "The Adventures of Nohar PI." An immediate prequel to Plague Planet. He said he'd shoot it back to me next week. :)

   Speaking of Plague Planet, I finished the rough draft on Monday, then Tuesday I cleaned up PRI and sent it off, then did a spellcheck of PP. When I was finished I started the read through. I usually take 3 months to do a read through, spell check, edit, read it again, then spell check with Word, then pass it on to the proofers. (I hate it. It takes longer for me to read it and correct stuff than it does to write it)... I really buckled down though this time (with Gord and Jacob asking for it) and got about half way through and then started slipping into scan mode on the third day. On advice from a couple of the proofers, I passed it on to Gord to have a go at it. Like they said, I can always add more later, and fresh eyes will see what I've overlooked.
    Gord of course has already thumped me about how little I did in corrections. Actually the has/had one is the biggest 'oops' so far. lol

   I'm planning on playing Heart of the Swarm later next week, but Friday and Saturday I had a bit of free time and started pecking at Jethro 2, First to Fight. I cleaned up some past tense errors and added 3 pages to it. It's funny, that book is already nearly 80 pages long and it's got a lot happening in it. I'm going to have a lot of fun writing it. :) Even the simulated combat has me grinning. The real combat is going to be... fun. >:D

   Oh, for those of you asking or talking about Irons and why he does what he does, some of the psychology comes to a head in Plague Planet. But I will leave you with these two paraphrased missives.
1 You cannot govern without the consent of the governed.

2 An officer doesn't give an order he know won't be obeyed.

Okay one more,
There is a method to my madness. Muhahahaha....
