      @seekjustice Ah yes, I forgot it was Sunday. 🙂  Listening to Les Miserables and being miserable?  Sounds about right. 😛  Hope you feel better soon, though.

      And tomorrow will be Sunday for me, too. 😉  I think I’m actually going to say goodnight now.  We have guests, and they’re leaving early tomorrow so we have to be up and make breakfast for them.  I don’t know if I’ll be on at all tomorrow or not, but anyway, see you Monday.


      @alia
      I think I’ll let SeekJustice answer that question for you, since I’m leaving now, and especially since I just learned what alpha and beta readers are myself, and am horrible at explaining things. 😛  So, goodnight, see you Monday, probably!

        Hopefully that will work. You’ll probably have to request access.

        I would say the difference is that an alpha reader reads a book as its being written or just after its been written, ie when its a first draft. I’m editing now, and when I’ve finished I’ll ask beta readers to read it, with more of an editing phase of mind, rather than just reading and offering encouragement. That’s my definition anyway.

            @seekjustice, thank you thank you thank you

            so basically one is for while its being written and the other is for after its finished?

                Pops on here (I’m not writing, sorry) to ask @seekjustice a random question:

                Do you get a lot of WordPress followers that are from @outlook.com? What do you make of them? Because I think I have like 20 of them now, but WordPress often doesn’t recognize them as followers.

                  @alia Basically yes. Goodnight!


                  @gh24682468999
                  *double checks the tag is right*

                  My personal opinion is that they are spam followers, since they don’t usually come up on the lists of your followers, as you noticed. Basically, I think they’re robots and i usually just ignore them. 🙂

                  I haven’t seen you in a while. How’s things?


                  @rochellaine
                  goodnight 😉

                    @seekjustice Oh, okay. Thanks!

                    At the moment I’m looking towards a transition to the USA for a half-year furlough. (That means I may actually be able to interact live with you guys more often, instead of posting while everybody is sleeping :P)

                    Writing-wise, I’m thinking about my goal of finishing my first novel by December (I’ll do NaNoWriMo, and then satisfy my perfectionistic tendencies by making the deadline the end of December) and worrying a little bit. But I also have a blog and fun stuff going on the side, so it’s doing fine. How about you?

                      @gh24682468999

                      You live in….*thinks for a moment* Singapore, am I right?

                      I’m actually in Australia, so I think our timezones are pretty similar. But yeah, posting when everyone is asleep is really annoying!

                      Awesome 🙂 I’m currently in the middle of edits for my NaNo novel from last year (so much to work on…) and trying to keep up with blogging and life in general. So yeah… pretty cool 😉

                        @seekjustice *grins* I live in Taiwan, and I believe it’s @valtmy who lives in Singapore. And… that’s right, Australia is only two hours ahead. Keep forgetting 😛

                        That’s great! Keep it up 🙂

                          Ah, I was close! Yeah I thought so. That’s why we’re chatting in the middle of the American night 🙂

                                @seekjustice I’m sorry!! I’d never really been involved in a forum before, and didn’t realize what I was doing when I just entered one of the usernames I use online.

                                If you want a memory tip, it’s g-h, 2-4-6-8 (even numbers) twice, then 9-9-9.
