Notes:
North Point (obviously) has been a story that has been with me for a couple of months and I have updated the story a little and decided to post on here. I am currently involved with a separate project at this time and this is currently just for feedback. Depending on what kind of feedback that I get I will be pushing forward on this in my spare time to at least write the first two episodes.
- thanks! - The admin team can remove this pitch because I think all the stars are aligning and it seems that I keep getting the same comments about the way I right and no matter how much I try to make it better - I think my brain is unplugged! It's like when I read my scripts they seem okay and then I get the subtle truth 
j/k of course!!
