I saw the "light year" use and it threw me out of the story for a second. I didn't want that happening to your readers, or any potential editors.<br /><br />Since his vehicle's a "skimmer," it's probably got one hell of a pickup.

Have a few old west stories on other planet-worlds brewing too. <br /><br />I love it when writers just let it flow out for fun. More real in tone and feeling. Thanks for sharing. <br /><br />Since the editor is kicking in... I read from a western erotic romance author that pickup and truck never go together. It's either pickup or truck in their regional lingo. Of course, on this world that could be different. <br /><br />Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498899580300269250.post-24837954186421803482013-05-25T16:18:12.036-05:002013-05-25T16:18:12.036-05:00Thanks Pat for beta reading.

I can see rewording happening on a couple of places.<br /><br />As to aliens? Well not sure...<br />And to publication not sure. Its for fun right now and entertainment.<br /><br />Pat you rock with your explanations straight and easy to read!<br /><br />Solarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854644549869508791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498899580300269250.post-79515959490131591022013-05-25T12:07:20.226-05:002013-05-25T12:07:20.226-05:00Mmmm ...

If thi...Mmmm ... SF and sex. Will there be aliens?<br /><br />If this is eventually going to publication, and if I may act as beta for a moment, a bit of science: light years are measurements of distance, not time. It's the amount of distance light travels in a year (roughly 6 trillion miles). Not to be confused with Buzz Lightyear, who was in Toy Story.<br /><br />The same is true for a parsec, which is also a measure of distance. That's why when Han Solo says he "made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs," everybody groans.Pat C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531462055912377327noreply@blogger.com
