All Comments on 'A Game for Learning about Yourself Ch. 08'

Thank you for slowing the story down. The side bets are fascinating. I'm wondering if they will get even more extreme in Mexico. Stephanie keeps being told that being sold to a sheik or being sent to a snuff film location won't happen, but I notice there are no guarantees.

Long ago I had the opportunity to interview Isaac Asimov for a magazine article. One question I asked him was whether he had a "process" for writing a story or a novel. His answer was that he wrote the beginning first, then the ending, and then he went back and wrote it sequentially from beginning to end. It sounds like you do the same thing.

cma68 - exactly. Nice to learn I'm in such good company.

Glad to hear you got some suggestions that fit with your vision of this story. It's been a good run so far and I'm sure Level Four will be great.

Come on finish this off

"Stephanie had never requested such a leave."

Ja, so wird ein Schuh draus.

That's the way how to work with the critic. Our protagonist has lost the control of her fate completely. Like a train driver she can only control the speed, the switches are controlled by the dispatcher and he has his own ideas where her journey has to terminate.

I guess one have to know a bit of German history to know who the Fuggers 500 years ago were, their Fuggerei is still in service and has nothing to do with what is going on in U2.
