You should be proud of your achievements, the effort you have put in is equal to the reward of completing. No money will ever mean that much I agree. You will also get more satisfaction from the people who read your book when it comes out than you will get from the money you earn from it. ❤️

These scenes certainly show a great deal of progress with Logan and Misty's relationship, but oh so far to go... And Luke couldn't resist giving Logan a hint that comes from his clandestine access to Misty's mind. Of course, once he opens his secrets stash, he can't seem to deny Logan some level of knowledge of where his insight came from. I think there might be some element of braggadocio going on here. And even though he has allowed Misty a quasi family status, it's clear that he would protect Logan at all costs, Misty not so much!

Ok, soapbox time... Going back to your comments in this days intro, your expression of pride in your creation and the effort that you put into it (btw, why not art?) is hardly evidence of someone who is cavalier about the value of hard work! Living on a farm and raising a family hardly immunizes one from hard work and sacrifice, Jenny!

Frank, Frank, Frank... That soap box of yours... So not the point I was hoping to make, but thankyou. As always, you are too kind.

As for the story... Yes, progress! That was the point. Luke is only being his own cryptic self. And I know I cut you off before we got to the good part. Also the point. But to be fair the scene is already over the ten minute mark and the argument that would ensue from this point will take another ten to resolve.

But, you think he's bragging then? 😏 that would be reasonable, considering... But I think not. He's relaying the facts. Also, he's known Logan since birth, and Misty has caused his entire family considerable suffering, so his bond with her is strained at this point. That's also, well noted.

Until next time...

If 3.5 g's feels good to Misty, Earth's 1.0 must feel like she's flying all the time.

3.5g is more gs than Jupiter, which has 2.5.

Wow JW! I did not know that, and I hear you calling me out here. I'll admit, I suppose I could have done a bit more research before adding numbers, but the idea was part of my original draft from my teen years, so I decided to just go for it. I can tell you that the numbers I chose here, are a whole lot more realistic than those I originally envisioned. I'd be embarrassed to admit to them so I won't divulge.

I would like to remind you that these are what we would consider aliens, and their raw energy gives them abilities that may seem strange to us but are so 'normal' to them that they don't feel the need to explain any of it, because, well, why would they? So, sorry if this is stretching it in your opinion, but, well... 🤨😏

It's not. You did well in showing how alien they were. I was just saying that if Misty is used to 3.5gs, Earth must feel like she's floating on clouds.

It also leads me to wonder how Luke managed to walk on Misty's world. The g-forces must have weighed on him.....

Hey I hadn't thought of it that way... But I'm not sure it's that high on Telera is it? did I give you a number for that at the beginning? I'll have to keep that in mind when I compile this into its final form. Also, Misty's experience with high g-force has more to do with the sparring room than standard Teleran gravity.
