	In Chapter 7, things are pretty good so far..... I'm missing a lot of commas here and there, but I'm filling them in as I go along..........

	We creative types have to create in order to feel ALIVE... That's why I write. Without my writing, I would not be living, only existing. ~Me~ Music is essential to life. ~Me~ I'm sunny natured with a side of EVIL...

	Start of Chapter 13. Not a lot pressing in the chapters leading up to this one... It's going faster than I thought it would for a first run through.

	Chapter 20... I've been blushing as I've been reading some of the over 18 stuff and thinking, "My mom is REALLY gonna shoot me when she sees it!". Oh well.....

	Note: I may have to add a little bit to a scarier scene in what is Chapter 23 right now............. Hmm....................

	SIGH I had forgotten just how rough Chapter 31 was, and I remember how hard it was to write that one up. It's hard to read it again, despite time and distance from working on that part of the manuscript....

	I'm going to start the next part of the cleanup in Book 2 soon. I'm going to go over Chapter 33 again, to be sure my crossed eyes didn't miss anything, and I'll continue on with it after that, if my brain and eyes hold out... And the power stays on, it's still pretty windy out there!

	I had forgotten about that little bit of humor at the end of Chapter 35.... Some things never change, not even after almost sixteen years..........

	Another major refit done, and the part is done from the POV it should have been from the start....... Eyes hurty. Monitor is turned WAY down and I'm thanking the gods for NATURAL EYE DROPS at the moment...............

	I put it away a while ago. My eyes were crossed and I have a LOT of rewrites, 86ing, additions and other stuff yet to do, and with the guys home, NOT a good idea. Too much confusion....

	Still mulling over how to make a few additions, compressions, etc in Book 2....

	So the major overhaul of the last chapter/epilogue in Book 2 looks good as it is right now. It's more to what I wanted to have there, like tying things up so darn tightly that I can't write any more stories about the families, etc in this one and its predecessor. I'm not saying that writing another book in the series will "never" happen, I'm saying it's not likely because I would like to move on and write stories about other characters that have nothing to do with this particular group of people. Don't get me wrong, I loved writing their stories, but it's time to move on and do something new, and try something else. Who knows, maybe in time, I may write something else about them, as a side thing? Anything is possible in the writing world after all.

	At 5:19 p.m. Atlantic time, Book 2 went into DRAFT THREE!!! Another step closer to "FINAL DRAFT".... Hard to believe................

	Update: I don't have to write up the alternate ending after all. Book 2 will stand AS IS, whether a publisher takes me on or I go with self publishing. A couple of new story ideas are bouncing around in the empty thing I call my brain and I'm praying one of them will turn into Book 3, and NOT be related to the series at all. I'm seeing images but the characters' faces, etc are still in shadow.... Hopefully something for one of them will become clear and I'll get into writing something other than the series. I REALLY want to get out of this dry spell. NOT writing is driving me BAZANKAS...................... BABBLING INCOHERENTLY!

	Closing this thread and starting a new one. This one was mostly about my journey with the last book of the "Legacies" series, and since it's basically done, time for me to start a new thread about other ideas and simpler, shorter stories.
