LOL So that must have translated into my writing. <br /><br />Thank you for coming by and reading and commenting! There are a lot of "Trekkies" out there!

Yep, I well remember ...Compelling excerpt, Cheryl.<br /><br />Yep, I well remember the red shirt crew not coming back in Star Trek... I'd think, he's probably a goner.<br /><br />While I have used a wounded hero or heroine, if it fits the story, I'm not a fan of hospitals or being anywhere near them. A fear thing I've had ever since I can remember. So, of course, I don't write that as a main plot point. No fun at all, for me.<br />~~~<br /><br />"I use the ploy, like you, to emphasize the vulnerability and make them more realistic (human); one of the things I always detested with the early Bond movies was his seeming invincibility and constant virility." ~ ACTUALLY, this is why I read every novel by Ian Fleming and saw the early Bond films.<br />Only in the novels Bond was never portrayed as invincible.Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350339348313810194.post-53016048623117731202009-08-10T00:42:08.048+01:002009-08-10T00:42:08.048+01:00Hi Loraine!
