Ok, I am going through chapters 11 and 12, reviewing them, detail by detail, with my best friend. Apparently, too much detail on the Vorpol Sword. And not the right impression on coming out of the mind maze. We are still on ch 11. But those two details are fixed. I hope it makes a good job and better deal on the book. <Sigh...> its a long and slow process. But that is ok.

I am now up to 55 pages. But that is the un-edited version, with all of the line breaks in Notepad (which doesn't have spell check). I so want this to be a real novel. I am slowly getting there. Ugh. Wish it would go ffaster. But I have to get it just right. And that is not easy.

I know you are all probably wondering, "What's with the platypuses?" Well... Honestly, I couldn't tell you. I felt there had to be a creature in the Mind Maze. Platypuses kinda just popped up in my head. So I took the Idea and ran with it. Albeit, I did not run far with them. Haha. Ah, well. I was going to have them interact more directly with Alyssa, but I thought better of it. I am told, its a 50-50 thing, it could have worked either way. I decided I should just leave it. (Obviously).

Any questions on Alyssa? I'd be happy to answer them (without spoiling it for others). You will see that in due time. Haha.
