Hi,

Thanks; I'll look out for it!

Your ability to judge the literary merit of my work before it's even half written is very impressive, but I will find a copy of the Last of the Breed. From the synopsis, I suspect the character is...

Suffer? Yes. Contract dysentery by day three? No.
I'd like him to be challenged, but I don't want to make the task impossible, or turn him into superman to overcome them. The evasion exercise is...

It was a small charter plane, but you're right in that the crash would be a major source of tools and supplies... so i'm going to have to get rid of it as soon as i can; I'm thinking that the...

Hi,

I'm hoping some of you might be able to help. I'm writing a story in which someone ends up lost in the wilderness following a plane crash.

I'd like to start the story with my character...
