whoops, butchered your tag @dragon-snapper

www.jennaterese.com@rochellaine You have NO IDEA how many times I mess up everyone’s tags. Luckily I catch them before I click ‘submit’……..at least, most of the time 😀

www.jennaterese.comIf you go back a bit in the Writers Corner, you’ll find a whole discussion between @rochellaine and myself about Chessy being adopted, and somewhere in there you’ll find the prologue!

@seekjustice Hi there! I didn’t get an answer to my question last night before going to sleep, so here I ask again: Are you able to see my comments on your document, and do you want me to keep doing the same thing, or do you want to do the rest yourself?
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
@seekjustice ooh okay! 😀

www.jennaterese.comOops sorry! Yep, i can see your comments and its up to you. If you’ve got other stuff to do by all means go and do that, but if you want to keep going that would be appreciated. I am considering, though, leaving this competition and finding another one with a higher word count. Still, I think there’s some things that need fixing up.

You might need to go further back. It was about two days ago now. I can repost the link here but to understand the prologue you might need to read through the conversation Rochellaine and I had.

@jenwriter17 I’m going to copy Snapper and go eat dinner. I’ll tag you to see if you’re still here when I get back, though you’ll probably eat dinner soon too, right? 🙂
@seekjustice Okay, I was only doing word count comments, but I could do actual editing comments if you want those too. I thought you had completed the editing already.No, I’d love to keep doing it if you want me to. I used to do a lot of editing for my mom’s books, but haven’t for a while, so I could use the practice! 😀
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
haha…I’d finished editing months ago, but editing is never really done. I’ve already fixed up a few mistakes and typos, but if you catch anymore I’d be super grateful!
Okay cool! I’m torn, because I really wanted to enter this particular competition, but it means cutting so much out….I could wait and look for another competition that fitted the word count better….I don’t know *insert super worried emoji here*

@seekjustice for some reason I couldn’t find the link 🙁 would you be able to re-link it?
I gotta go now, girls! May your writing prosper and your word-count increase! 😉

www.jennaterese.com@Jenwriter17 XD That’s pretty impressive. Draong. 😛 (And I’m glad you’re looking forward to it. 😀 XD *won’t melt your chair because of it*
@rochellaine @sam-kowal @seekjustice @waterlily @whoever’s on tonight.Well, I begin my nightly stuff. Starting out by really finishing the blog post this time. Then I’ll edit. Then I’ll write. Anyone else with me?

@seekjustice I really liked something that Daeus said a while ago about short stories. It was something like “Don’t cripple yourself by trying to get the story ‘good enough’ within the word count. A short story should be as long as it has to be to make it a good story, and if that means it’s longer than the word count you wanted, let it be so.”
So I would say unless you really need to enter it in this particular competition, the story might suffer less by not having it’s hair and toes chopped off in order to fit in the bed. 😀 (I believe some of your morbidness has rubbed off on me.)
If you do decide not to chop it down, could you give me a new document to work with or else delete all my comments? Because some of the things I said could work with less words actually sound better the way you originally wrote them. Then I’ll just edit it for normal editing problems, (of which I did find a couple, sorry. 🙂 )
@dragon-snapper Are you still here? I’m back!"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
@rochellaine Yep! Still here!

@dragon-snapper lol, at least I had the right letters in there 😛
and thank you, I rather like my chair 😉
@rochellaine okay, enjoy! I probably won’t be on for the rest of the night.I'm a Kapeefer 'TIL WE'RE OLD AND GREY!
