I really thought I had solved the problem. Tell about Chuy, what's interesting about him and his culture. The reason for the book. But I feel I have to tell a little of the story too, and the damn thing is a page and a half without headers and things, and I haven't figured out the concluding sentence or paragraph or whatever. It's 900 words! By dog, that's too many!

Anybody want to take a look at this current version?

Also I keep wanting to mention the hard sf background but when I describe the story it looks soft to me (being that the science is mostly social in the story itself -- the engineering, biology, medicine, and ecology, etc., are in the setting mostly). So it looks like I'm lying.

Not much writing going to happen this week -- the nice fellow's off, and so are the kids, and they demand computer time (yes, Frank does too, apparently he can't be away from the Gaming Den for more than a couple of hours without touching base and seeing how the discussions are developing -- not like anybody we know, right?) and they demand me. But there's a deadline next week and I mean to make it.
