Writing stories is really really fun. I think I may try doing one in
English next. I'm learning as I go along and I translated some parts
for a writer friend who has been giving me tips, so here's hoping
this the best 'ay''a' yet. It has fewer meetings, less discussion of
error logs, more violent killings and less technical exposition than
any previous one. I made a rule for myself that if anyone started
talking too much, BAM something had to happen. I warn you in advance
that there is blood and/or guts in almost every 'ay'. You're okay
with 'ay' wa': only disgusting food and not thoroughly described, but
after this the verb ghay comes in really handy. Of course the food
*Klingons* find disgusting isn't that bad by our standards.
I'm still figuring out how I will accede to a request to preserve my
self-indulgent comments and footnotes in the blog version at
http://nuqbopbom.blogspot.com I'm also going to write some beginners'
summaries of the 'ay''a'mey. If they prove useful, I might start
writing beginner summaries for all the 'ay'mey.
As you may recall from 'ay''a' wej, the Klingon Scoutship *Dugh* is
badly damaged from an onboard explosion, Captain vajar has a broken
arm, the engineer ghIrel was killed, and yeoman ghutar's hands were
severely damaged in an extravehicular mission. Gee, I'm making
previous episodes sound more exciting than I think they actually
were. They also talked a lot. Ensign Hota'ro' is uninjured by events.
Thus far. :-)
