Hawes's writing is often like the movie, Inception. :lol:
Thank you, I appreciate that a lot! I guess I noticed that a bit, as his writing is similar to how I think while I'm writing. I know that may sound a bit odd, but to answer in depth it's a bit like how I typically text. I'll use "..." as a thinking spot, or brief pause, and sometimes the dash lines (-), to insert a "or in other words," or second thought. So, I guess I understand his writing as a brain process of a sort, rather than fixing the words onto paper in a well organized way :mrgreen: Also, it's just at that nice pace for me for some reason, just easily flowing when it happens and exactly where my brain sometimes wants to end or slow down a sentence.

I loved the movie Inception a lot, too!

Anyhoo, here is Narrator 13:

Thank you much, ej.

Noticed that your file link is for another project, but I took a chance on your ch. 13 file being named in the manner of the others, and it linked up in the MW appropriately. Ready for PL

I edited that post now. Sorry about that, last project's file was copied instead of the new one at the time of uploading :roll:

Anything - within reason, or without! Chapter 6 is PL OK! :thumbs:
The foreshadowing is real. :mrgreen:
I'll be out for a bit on this last weekend of April, but still checking in as I get the chance. I will try to follow up on Monday, with anything I can't do on the go.

Appreciate it, Elijah

Hey, have I missed corrections for chapter 12? Or are they upcoming?

Not a problem either way, just making sure I hadn't missed your work.

Thanks!
Hi, Elijah! :)

Notes for ch. 14:

We are missing "he said" @2:21
Captain North: "The man's gone and I'm sorry,"

he said;

Captain North: "but I honestly believe it is useless for us to try to help him now."


While you have the file open, it'll be helpful if the not-needed long silence at 3:42 is trimmed to normal length. :)

And at the end, after "End of Chapter 14," we need:

"End of Part 3."


Thanks for all your work :)
