Dlsharrock,

[sblock] I bow to your superior word usage. Good luck to you. [/sblock]

Back after the weekend, still no internet at home, but judgement on the first story send.

So how is everyone doing?

Glad to be at our final destination! No more driving all day and night!

[SBLOCK=Eeralai]Thankyou, thankyou *grins, bows* and I'd just like to say a big, heartfelt thankyou to my thesaurus for helping me through the rough times. Seriously though, I bow in turn to your amazing ability to write a story on the road! The only other person I know who can do that is a journalist. Well, actually he's a cartoonist, but he calls himself a journalist. Funny too that we both called our protagonist a variant on the same name. May the best wordsmith win![/SBLOCK]

I've got two ideas. Do I go with the safe one, or the strange one? Hmm... Either way, Starman: It's on!

Well, I'm not sure it really matters because I've got one idea and it's the bestest idea EVAR!!1!

Or not, but it is going to be very interesting, nonetheless.

Pfft. 2 > 1, always. Have you never been to a Math class? Plus, my idea involves the four pictures in a non-random fashion. A-ha!

Except that splitting your attention between two ideas is going to weaken each. If we assign a value of 1/3 (giving you the benefit of the doubt) to each of your stories, we end up with a final value of 2*(1/3) = 2/3, definitely less than the 1*1 = 1 final value of my effort.

Plus, my idea involves the four pictures in a non-random fashion. A-ha!

Heisenberg called. He would like a word with you, something about the uncertain quality of your writing.
