Greetings Lance,

Hmm, yes I really want to get into their issues and show their lives before they become a couple but I also have to balance the narrative structure.

Thankfully I think you hit it right up on time. After looking over the threads I have going through the novel right now I believe fifty years will do nicely. Half a century should be time enough for them to really form a strong friendship which will be imperative in getting the characters through  their troubles and into a better spot.

Plus it gives me time to have them building the Fleet of Starships in the background of the chapters. And to get to know the secondary characters.

I hope you get some time to work on your projects. I know how maddening it can be to be swamped in work and not have time to be creative.

I'll let you know how I get on with the next chapter as I get deeper in. By the way thanks for helpingi me with this stuff, I tend to get wrapped up in minute wee details with things like this. (Like 20 years or 50 years) So having someone else to ask is fantastic.

Cheers,

The Weary TimeLord.
