Why a sequel to Blue Moon? Why not?

Well, existential questions aside, I couldn't get Richard, Jo, Sophie and the other characters out of my head. They had lots of clever things they wanted to say and stuff they wanted to do. But I didn't have a plot.

Erin pointed out to me that that hadn't stopped me from starting Blue Moon but you can't always depend on a plot just happening along at the right moment when you need one. I needed to have at least a bit of a long-range plot to give me hope of keeping the story moving in some direction.

So Erin suggested the title, a plot, and did the marvelous little cover sketch. This really is all her fault. ::grin::

So hang loose or hang on tight. It's my aim to do about 1500 words a day from now to early December, though some days will probably be much shorter and a few will be longer. Blue Moon, except for the last chapter, all happened in a single calendar day and all within one city. Green Sun will cover more time and space but I hope I can keep it just as exciting.

Oh, Sophie's cheat to get out of the terms of the bet was all my idea; I intended that from the first. ::grin::

Yay Kool!

I've been wondering what you've been up to since Blue Moon. As for Green Sun I love the cover Erin did up. Very nice!
hugs!

I'm not taking all the rap

Donna complained that she couldn't write anything else until she got Jo and Richard out of her head. :) So I had to help out. I'm editing too but this is being played on a very short string so give us a break on any typos. :)

Hugs,
Erin

Just did a drawing of my idea of what Richard looks like. :)

Nice resemblance

I like them both, though I had imagined Richard with a rounder face and Jo with more cheek bones. ::grin:: The coloring sure looks good though.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Hi Adonna,

Well I for one am deliriously happy that you chose to do a sequel. I have missed my friends from Blue Moon and the daily dose of happiness I could always look forward to. So with a big smile on my face I'm getting ready for another great ride.

Kindest regards,

I hope I can stop at just one. ::grin:: For all the satisfaction I got out of the ending of Blue Moon, I still wanted to do this one. Let's hope it turns out to be as much fun as the first.

The green flash?

There is a phomenom where there is a flash of green light around or is it just after sunset. Most easily seen at sea I believe.

Nice the see them back, your characters fron Blue Moon even including the naughty DiD. OH, Donna , two sides can play the creating and loopholes bit. DiD had better be careful and harminf Jo or Richard in any way what so ever will have BIG cosequences.

Wow, toad lickin' time is it? Look at the colors!

Far out dudette.

The green flash can be seen at sunrise, too. It's just hard to be looking in exactly the right place. ::grin::

We'll be catching up with Jo and Richard again but tomorrow's episode introduces another new character. Hope you enjoy.

Nice picture Erin

I wonder where you got the inspiration for them though. They are both very well done and look like they are based on professional photographs. My sister Jenny works in Wal-Mart in the Portrait Studio, and I have seen her at work. Personally, I like them, heck, I wish that i looked as good as he does.

I found some pictures just surfing the web and used them as reference. Jo came out better than I hoped. :)
