Green Day, Part 3b/3

A/N:  Yay!  I'm almost finished with the rough draft!  One more conversational sequence to go, and it'll be done.  OTOH, I have serious problems when trying to write dialog - but I don't want to talk about it. >:-)

Nice!!! Very nice explanation of everything - clear and concise. Vin's interview is very well done - you did a great job with his conflicting emotions and his doubts. good POV and nicely expressed.

I like how JD did going down the hall, too.

You're moving along nicely! I foresee this being finished very soon! CONGRATS!!!

*grins* you say that now - wait till i send the file to you for beta! word count on the whole shebang right now is ~12,250. I think it'll end up right around 13k for the draft. then i get to revise revise revise until i'm satisified with it.

*hugs* i'm so glad you like it, though!

LOL - NP on the word count - I've read - and written! - longer and with far more to need editing!

Looking forward to it!

[boogieshoes]

yeah, and i really admire your writing skills, which is why i'm excited that you agreed to beta for me. this story just feels kinda huge to me, although it's nowhere near 'novella' length. it's *much* longer than anything i've tried to complete before, so i'm kind of in awe of it.

Ooh ooh - I really like this, and also love how JD just skipped down the hall. I' really intrigued by this, and would like to hear the boys sooner rather than later! :)

[boogieshoes]

thank you. :) my goal is to finish this rough draft version by the end of October, so hopefully you'll get to hear what the boys say to each other in a week or so. my other goal is to finish the beta'd version by the christmas/new year's time frame, so everyone can enjoy this piece at it's full potential.

I don't know anything about Asperger's syndrome, but have heard about synesthesia (mostly with regard to music), but what you've written seems very plausible to me. Don't know if Chris is going to like having to completely change his wardrobe .

Thanks for sharing.

Oops! Just noticed that this is still a draft version - so I'll add that I'm looking forward to reading the finished version once it's ready.

*grins* thanks. i've been doing research and hitting up friends who know the issues, so it's nice to see it's paying off. JD's color->touch synesthesia is based on my own experiences. i don't have grapheme-> color synesthesia like JD does, but i also wanted to make this universe one where people could explore these issues if they want to.

if you follow the Green Day Universse Information, i made sure to put up some starter links for people more interested in exploring Asperger's and some of the other things that happen(ed) in this universe.

thanks again!

Nice work, you definitely got down how a kid feels on a pshrink's chair.

[sparrowsverse]

Wow! I just can't imagine how tough that might be for JD and then with Vin trying to do the right thing. Can't wait to see the last part and then the final copy!

[boogieshoes]

:-D thank you so much for reading - i'm so glad you're enjoying it.
