You're writing a book? I didn't know that.

 

[Dallyn]

Where have you been? I read the first little bit two years ago.

 

[DarkWinter]

i was just joking, Darth Vader.

[Dallyn]

Everyone have a good weekend?

 

[Soldier_For_Christ]

Yeah.

Umm...that's kind of an interesting thing to mention, Dallyn. I've decided that I need to revise my book...almost totally. I've started from chapter one, I'm revising as I go, but I'm hoping that I can cut-and-paste some of the things from my older script so I'm not having to totally rewrite. I've heard of worse happening, so it wouldn't be so terrible if I could just work up the desire to write.

The main reason I'm rewriting is because I realized that my first copy is very, very descriptive (not in the good way) and there is a lot of bad writing style that I need to rectify.

 

[Dallyn]

I didn't think it was that bad. you need to email me the new one. I wanna read it. I was down this weekend. Mom said you had to do something for the calvarymen. Did it go okay?

 

[Soldier_For_Christ]

Well, I didn't think that much of it either, but...I don't know. I just think there's a better way to write what I had written, so I decided that I would axe the central plot of the one I had and rewrite.

The Calvarymen Homecoming, you mean. It was great. I benefited from ferrying the burgers and hot dogs from the grill to the concession stand...so, of course, I wasn't hungry by the time the grilling was done .

 

[DarkWinter]

No offense, but it was very descriptive. Way to much detail in there.

 

[Dallyn]

I still liked it. The homecoming thing sounds like fun. I took patrick to get glasses and the guy there chewed me out becuase my contacts weren't the right prescrip and I didn't bring them back. So now I have to go back next weekend to get my new ones. he'll probably gripe at me again...

 

[Dallyn]

Wow, does anybody ever log on anymore?

 

[Soldier_For_Christ]

Sorry, I've been busy. I've barely even touched my book! My schedule is a mess.

 

[Dallyn]

You have a schedule? I figured out that if you make a schedule you are busy all day and run non-stop and still don't get everything done. Then you never have time to catch up with your friends...

 

[Dallyn]

Oh, kept meanin to ask and always forget, where's everyone goin to school next year?

 

[DarkWinter]

I think MSU West Plains for 2 years and then C of O

 

[BigC]

Hello.

 

[Soldier_For_Christ]

Hi, BigC!

Probably MU. I need to start applying so that I can get in before the Spring rush.

BTW, Dallyn, I'm so sorry for forgetting your birthday! I wanted to get your phone number from your mother and leave a message on it, but I never got around to it.

 

[Dallyn]

It's okay. Probably a good thing you didn't that day anyway. I had a Calc test and a very bad day. You coming up for a tour?

 

[DarkWinter]

Who's BigC? Do i know him/her?

 

[Soldier_For_Christ]

Possibly, Dallyn. I'm not sure; I can barely find time to do all of things I need to do already. My senior is going to be the year I either grow up or die, lemme tellya.
