I really like the name of the heroine,
Fall seems like a sci. fi. name to me.
Just wondering how did you come up with that name?
I’m always asking people how they come up with good names when writing, sometimes I think it’s one of the hard things.
So, I’m always looking for a new technique.
Also, I didn’t understand that we thought that Mae might be in the Connex box from the first story part.
Not until the ‘if you missed Monday’, paragragh on today then I got that. But, maybe it was just me not getting it.

Thanks, CJ. I’ll look into it and see if there’s a way to bring Mae’s where abouts in earlier. The name came from my husband and it just seemed to fit. I keep a list of names that I like but honestly, I look at the type of story I’m writing and go from there on figuring out names. Sometimes I’ll research names for the ‘feel’ of the story. Western ‘feel’ equals more western names. Sometimes I just make them up as I go. You’re right, coming up with good names can be really hard. =)
Who’s your crawler? Is there a battle going on? Dad
Can’t wait to read the ending!
Thanks for helping me with the story, Leslie. You’ll have to let me know what you think of the ending=)
