I’ve been calling this Project 2 for a little bit, at least publicly, but Boat Story is what I’ve always called it in my notes, and when I’ve told my friends about it. I have a couple goals for this story:
- At least 1000 words per post. If a post doesn’t meet 1000 words, even by one word, the next section is tacked on.
- Eventually get up to around 2000 words a post OR
- Post more than once per week.
The last two are less immediate goals, but still, I’d like to be able to produce more than just a day at a time.
There’s a lot going on just in this first section that isn’t immediately apparent, such as this story consolidated three universes (universii?) into one, which made the universe much more history-rich. Which is exactly what I wanted for the planet Ta Ante. We won’t see this for a bit, but Cait’s family can trace their history back a good ways.
But as far as notes go, I really can’t say too much about the story yet. Things are still developing. I do want to thank Erin for taking the time to look over the story for me, and acting as my editor. Boat Story is better because of her. The spelling mistakes are all mine, though.
Anyways, as always, I’d love to hear any questions or comments you have.

I like it already.
Personal note: you described something as “it screamed ____” twice in the same paragraph. Literarily speaking, it made me stop and make sure I wasn’t rereading something.
Well balls. I was sure I had everything. I even caught a little homonym error I had made in the throws of typing. Oh well. At any rate, it’s fixed now. Thanks for catching it.
We watched the new Harry Potter movie last night. There was a line that was all you. …Now ’cause I’m lame, I can’t remember it, but it was a great line that all giggled at–I pointed it out to L as “vintage Grant writing.”
_Sometimes broccoli must dance_
You tease.
Also, how was it? I’ve heard it’s pretty.
