MJ Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I thought you guys might like a little update on how my progress is going on the Tierra de los Muertos book. 140 pages. 7 chapters. That's right. If we're going based on the radio series... the guys are getting close to Isla Calavera now. Just to keep you guys interested, hers a few quotes... Avegail nodded. ‘It’s down to the three of us now.’ Tulio squared himself up. ‘We few, we happy few.’ ‘We band of buggered.’ Guillermo muttered. Carlos stood up and yelled to the ocean in general. ‘Come on, Poseidon, out with it! Lend me some sugar!

One day, holy zebra willing not anytime soon because then we’ll truly be stuck with him, Number Two will be dead. Just like us.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
