Hey, Hive account@ronyxoxo.

I've read both chapters. Very intriguing so far, with lots to reveal. From the storyteller's point of you, that's a good place to be. Write in the present, and then methodically (but not predictably) dole out how we got there.

So far, feeling the loneliness, disorganization, desperation and exasperation of Gladys, the desire of KAI to help when it really needs help, too, and the friendliness of Danny to a complete stranger, which generally sends up warning flags.

Looking forward to discovering why she's trying to contact the past, how she hopes to bring her father back, how he died, who she and her father are and why they've been essentially hiding under garbage crates, how the planet they live on became a planet of rubbish and who Danny is and what his true intentions are.

Congratulations, too, on the curie. Always awesome when they show up. :)

So, how are you approaching this? Is the story basically done (even if only in your mind—you know where you're going and more or less how it ends), or are you going chapter by chapter?
