Im not exactly sure but I think sunshine got popped by the law.

you are about the only person that I’ve met in years who has heard of Sunshine…she sold a strain called Hells Angel and it was a 48 day fast finisher that made my socks go up and down….

busted eh….bummer….she sent seeds all over the world…

 

[SubGirl]

Good Morning folks.
The only book I was thinking of writing was to be a technical one on how to acquire free electric for grows.

 

[bigsur51]

here is where Boo and Unca Walt live….

 

[Gray Wolf]

Yeah Unca Walt - them Scott's are mad bastids - one of me best mates is a Glasweigian - and it took me about 2 years to even begin to understand what he was saying - good bloke though - stood by me stalwart and solid - when the shit hit the fan - and even when I was banged up - not knowing how long I was to be detained - he was there in support - making sure my family - kids - wife - could eat and pay the bills - and didn't fall by the wayside for 30 months -

- So the Scott's might be ' Mad Bastid's' - but the good sorta Mad Bastid's - if ya catch my drift -

*BTW - his name is @oldpink

I remember @oldpink spreading the story and leading the charge here to raise funds for your legal expenses and release. I stumbled across that link while looking for other information in the archives, but it no longer works.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is excellent writing, Gypsy. A quickly-painted panorama of the grim, gritty life of Manila -- and with something deeply scary overshadowing all the rest.

I am just now finishing editing a novel for a distant cousin. As I read the above vignette, I realized you should have an editor.

A good story needs a certain kind of light-touch editing. As a f'rinstinks, you have a homonym with "eek a living" <-- S/B "eke".

Paragraphs are good. They are mental breaths to a reader. Lookit this word-for-word "edit" of the original draft above for ease of reading:


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gypsy Nirvana was in an odd time-space-head-space; he was so bewildered by his current situation of not knowing exactly why he had been so politely taken from outside his home, away from his familyx the night before.

The suspense of it all was crippling him. And now the traffic jam was delaying not only all of the travelers around him, it was delaying Gypsy from discovering why he had been detained and brought to this placex under armed guard.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do not have much I can do to give back to this community for the life-changing largess they have shown towards me.

I can offer to edit your story gratis if you'd like.

Yes - I do tend to write as I talk - without the correct punctuation - due to me being a writing minimalist - (well that's as good as a reason as any) - so maybe it might look better with all the comas and what-not? -

If you can get into the VIP Lounge - there is the start of my Smugg'lin Stories book - written in a similar style - that could use grammaring up properly I suppose -

Proof reading and a touch of editing - can be a good thing - I'm always going back to pieces I've written - and seeing the odd mistake and/or correction - that needs sorting -

I think that one of the key elements in good writing - is to be able to paint the written picture indelibly - without having to go too elaborate with the wordage -

Interesting - I didn't know that Unca was an author already - I've only written a few pieces for magazines and online before - but have had everyone and his aunty pushing me - goading me towards putting together a proper book - for some years now - it's about time - and so I have resigned myself to writing just about every day for the past month - and have managed to knock out quite a few pages so far -

What Dogs got to look forward too

@Unca Walt

You should be able to see this thread now Unca Walt - if you have the time - and the inclination - there's plenty there to edit - and brush and polish up a bit perhaps - lol
