Any idea on when the final version of episode ten will be up?

I got bogged down in some exceptionally large My_Space essays this week, so I took a few days off from Hawaii. The final draft is about 25% done. I hope to get a lot of work done on it tomorrow. |

Okay I have finished all the final draft changes on my printout of episode 10, and now I just have to type them into the html editor. I should be done by the
weekend. Luckily it was a pretty polished episode that didn't need many changes.

And stay away from the Wii. I know it's hard, but you're going to have to try.

Don't worry. It's not the Wii that is hogging my time lately. It's my pop culture blog. I have barely played the Wii at all (especially since I got a nice case of tennis wrist after my first 8 hour marathon). |

I just started reading it, and SenseiKreese, it's wonderful. I'm on episode 8, so I only have 9 left. Please, do more! hahahaha

Congratulations on your writing: the texts may be long, but they are so pleasant to read!

I don't personally think they are long at all. I mean, yeah they are long to write, but from a reading standpoint I think they flow pretty well. I've had way more complaints of "I didn't want it to end!" than I have had "it dragged on too long!" over the years. If you print out the episodes and read them, they don't seem long at all. In fact, for me they seem incredibly short because if you pay attention, I only write about maybe 30-45 minutes of each day! I leave out huge gaping chunks of evening and nighttime. In fact my friend Anna even pointed this out to me one time. She was reading Greece and she said, "Um, why does every day end at about noon? Don't they do anything at night?" In my Hawaii rewrite I have been trying to remedy that. Personally I don't see how you could write ANY Survivor story that was less than 40-50 pages per episode, but then again that's just me. If I put out a 20 page episode I would feel like I was cheating you. Quick trivia: In the original Hawaii story, episode 1 was 8 pages long. See how much times have changed? Nowadays I write entire conversations that are 8 pages long. Oh yeah, in related news, the final draft of episode 10 is 80% done and I will finish it off Sunday night. I should have the complete episode plus the final words up and everything. It is one of my favorites. |

do you have any plans to write something new? New as in more Hawaii episodes? Yes they are coming. New as in new stories? No. Hawaii is the one I am going to retire on. If you want to read more of my work, go read Alaska or Greece or The Funny 115. |

It turns out that "Keko" is an old Hawaiian word that means "Don't unpack." HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW. |

I loved that line too. I could totally picture Kathy saying that.

The finished episode is just great. really top notch. You should be proud of all of this.
I have no clue which direction you'll take in the next installment -so much could happen and it would be justified. I think Gretchen or Alicia will go next the question is how Vecepia and Tina take the risk. My gut with Colleen is she's plotting with John and in her mind thinks she's going final two all the way with him- and while Tina is the one I always thought would work Colleen over, it might be Vecepia making the side deal with her. Watching Amanda bomb these past two season councils, I can completely see Colleen doing the same thing- and John, Vee or Tina reaping the benefits. it will be interesting who wins the spoiler -if Gretchen wins, she won't knock herself out this time. If Alicia wins spoiler, I say she takes Gretchen out for complete survivalist insticts kicking in. Tina, John take out Gretchen if they win. I say Vecepia takes out Alicia as much as she wants to take out Gretchen -Gretchen didn't take Vee out last time, and I believe Vee does have a conscience, and that would undo all the work she did on Gretchen before. Colleen would probably follow Gretchen's earlier lead and take herself out to make it "fair." if not, then Alicia. Gretchen wouldn't take out Alicia based on honor and probably remove Tina for her betrayal or John as the strongest physcial competitor. Wonder if we're going to see some old familiar faces in the reward challenge again. |

Yep, they'll be there. It's always fun to include new characters. Pity I can't use Gabe again. |

Although it will be nice to be able to use Sean Rector this time. I've never written for him before. |
