I know what you're saying.  'Did he say, part *ONE*?!?'

Yes..., yes I did.  I've been reworking and smoothing out the existing parts
of the story before I plunge ahead with part 4.  Don't worry, I've not hit a
stumbling block, or anything like that.  I just figured that after three
months, reviewing parts one and two seemed appropriate.  (Besides, if I went
ahead with part 4, I'd probably never get around to doing my re-edit.)

For those that want to know:  Half of my writing is done in the re-edit
stage.  That's how I was able to quintuple the size of TPATL from its
original size when it was SMendou's story.  The same thing may occur with
Careful Destiny.

The short of it is, I was unhappy with the way the story flowed, so I made
some changes to part one.  I am including the revised part one in this post.
Part two's revision shouldn't be as heavy as part one's, so it should be
done sooner.

For all of those who have written me to submit my next new part, be patient.
It'll be out soon.  For those who haven't read Careful Destiny yet, here's
your chance to read the latest revision.

In any case, I hope you enjoy the story.  C&C of any flavor is highly valued
and greatly appreciated.  Thanks for reading!  <bows, then hits 'send' >

PS, to Bert:  Sorry to hear the $#!t hit the fan with your HD.  Lemme know
vendor, manufacturer, and date of purchase, and I'll see what I can dig up
on it.
