    I sent the next 3 chapters of Changing Tomorrow to each of you (I hope!) via e-mail attachment. If anyone in the group does not get the manuscript in an e-mail attachment, send your request to writing4kicks@yahoo.com and I'll add you to my list.

    Nice, Marvin! I've got a few notes, not many, I'll email to you. If I've got a criticism, I'd like to feel what he's feeling. This is some weird stuff he's dealing with. He tells us he's scared and nervous, make us scared and nervous with and for him. Good, intriguing stuff! Keeping us wanting to learn more and get to the bottom of this weirdness!

    Thanks, Ed. I knew I could count on you guys to bring out some important things I missed. Will take a look at your comments in the e-mail.

    Marvin,

    Liked your submission. I have sent an e-mail with comments attached. Your plot is moving a a steady pace, but in my opinion, some places (not many) could be tightened up for emotional afect. I like the story line. Send more.

    Fernando,
    Excuse my ignorance, but what does MOO stand for in your sideline comments?

    I have studied your comments/suggestions and plan to use some of them to strengthen the story and keep it moving. Thanks for sending them.

    Marvin,

    Unfortunately, I didn't get to read your first three chapters. I don't think I received them. However, I did just read 4-6 and I am intrigued by your story. I don't know how it came to be that J.J. can see the future, but I'm totally in suspense about the new neighbors who look like the old neighbors. I think I would like to see more emotion in J.J. when he talks about the new neighbors. I feel like a boy of his age would really be flipping out a little more than I see him doing in the story. I think it's a great story and I am left wanting to read more.
