Well now that the NCAA "March Madness" is over and my attention is no longer quite so divided, I might do that but first I have to scrub the next chapter before uploading it. And then we're heading toward the NBA playoffs, and it's baseball season again now so I don't know...

by markvanroode 3 weeks, 3 days agoHI Mark, I apologize. I just remembered that in fiction writing, when a character speaks for multiple paragraphs, the proper convention is to place an opening quotation mark at the start of every paragraph, but only place a closing quotation mark at the very end of the final paragraph. This is a new paragraph so this should have a quotation mark at its beginning and so should the next one, unit 117, and then the final quotation mark at the end of that one. How important is it that we stick with that publishing convention. We'd have to go back and change a lot quotes in previous chapters too.

by markvanroode 3 weeks, 5 days agoThis translation is correct, but if it is important to capture the author's style as well as the culture and feel and rhythm of the language, then I would go with "And I can go for many hours and wait and then it comes."
