I'm still weighing the "rise and shine". I think it will most depend on my target audience--scifi or romance. At this point, it might be a hard call. But I've left it highlighted in my WIP, so I can rethink it when I'm not so immersed in this scene. I'll do a more of a shoot from the hip type decision. :-) Thanks for visiting. :-)Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696914224277711875.post-59118427347407134662014-06-30T10:53:03.002-04:002014-06-30T10:53:03.002-04:00Thanks, Tina. :-)Thanks, Tina. :-)Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696914224277711875.post-27090433548021407232014-06-30T01:23:54.197-04:002014-06-30T01:23:54.197-04:00I really like the line ""There we are, m...I really like the line ""There we are, my friend. It'd do none of us good to have someone see a row of scales where they're expecting to see hairy eyebrows, right?""

Am I correct? The father claimed the mother must have slept with another to have created this inhuman infant. We agonized over this. Scales? Hmm. I'm on the fence about such a deformity.
