Watching Brad

[DonQuixote]

Hi, Friend.
It is a great tale for our times.

Neil, I am Re-reading this amazing story. I love it so. I wish that they were real. I want to meet them. I just finished chapter 28 where Ted, Brad and Lindsay get to meet you. So well written. And a great story twist. Reading it made me look up Peterborough on the map, and George St., Water St., and Hunter St. I want to visit Toronto/Mississauga/Peterborough so bad... someday.
I hope that you are well. Would love to hear from you, how you are doing, if you’ve written more.
Thanks,
Bill

Thank you, Clover. Barring any unexpected lay-overs in the hospital, there will be a present under the tree this Christmas season. I know, I've said that before, but I'm feeling good about it this time.

Writing is still painful after a time. My wrist doesn't sit comfortably on the keyboard due to the lack of movement and, after about a half-hour of typing, I have to stop. My shoulder is just about as bad. Rub A-535 is my constant companion these days.

So, stay tuned. If DonQ doesn't post a special news report, Santa will leave a little something in your stocking.

I am so excited. Thanks for some good news. I wish I could give you a pain free time as a Christmas present.

I am definitely looking forward to anything that you may or may not be able to do, guy!!

I was pretty satisfied with the status, in general, where Chapter 222 ended - generally the characters were in a good place at that point.

As with other readers, I developed a true fondness for some of the characters, which has never happened for me that much, before, in a book. (OK, the equivalent of a book. A BIG book...)

If only we could all have a Warren or a Brad in our lives!

Neil,
I would GREATLY prefer NOT to have to play Inspector Clouseau and hunt you down in facilities medical this year!
Stay healthy!

^ I should think you'd be an expert by now. Besides, it can't be difficult finding the only person with my name in the only hospital in the city of Peterborough.

That would truly be the most wonderful Christmas gift I could receive.

Neil,
Thanks so much for your reply. So glad that there is a good chance for Christmas this year. Take care of yourself and stay out of those medical facilities. I hope that you have a wonderful holiday.
I’m also writing to continue my admiration for you and your talent. I just finished chapter XXXX. I remember being so excited for Ted, Brad and Lindsay about the twins, but when Justin spoke his first words, “Are you our new Daddy?”, I lost it...again. What great writing!!! I am enjoying reading this the second time as much if not more than the first time.
Bravo!!!!

...when Justin spoke his first words, “Are you our new Daddy?”, I lost it...again.

I just about lost it, just seeing you QUOTE that.

I "lost it" when I first read that sentence nearly two (three? - my sense of time has been entirely distorted since 04 January) years ago, and I still remember it vividly. Never before or since, did I "lose it" (and in the best way possible) more than at that moment, in anything that I have ever read, and I didn't see it coming. Not at all.

 

[clover55]

Yes, frank frank, that's it. Of all the things that Justin could have said, that was the most surprising thing to say. I knew he would have spoken at some time, but to say that...OMG!

Neil,

Sorry. The chances aren't 'good' anymore. They are, in fact, 'excellent'. It is finished and waiting.

I will be posting Chapter 223 (Gee-sus Murphy!! Is it really that many!!???) on Christmas morning, Eastern time.

You can officially start counting the days.

 

[Kyanimal]

YES!!

Love ya, Neil!
Chaz

 

[clover55]

Yeah!!! Hip-hip-hoorrayyyyyy! Three cheers for Neil. That is going to make our Christmas.

 

[gsdx]

^ I hope it's worth the wait. I've given it 3 rereadings so far and will probably give it a few more just to make sure it is worth it. I will tell you that it has everything you've come to expect, especially that emotional roller coaster I tend to enjoy taking people on.

 

[Thanatos]

what a wonderful Xmas gift! So happy you've got so better that you can write again

 

[gsdx]

I haven't, really. It just takes me a whole lot longer to do it.

 

[Scotty0323]

"And God bless us, every one." Holy Merry Christmas! I can't wait.

I am looking forward to this so much. You have talent my friend.....

I've been rereading the story, the first time since I began writing it, and it makes me wonder how in hell so many people got caught up in such schmaltz!? At times, it's worse than a soap opera!
