@alia @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @sarah-anson @dekreel @valtmy @catwing @sleepwalkingmk
I’ve got here a short story which is actually an excerpt from the novel which most of you have already read. I’m planning to enter it into a competition and I’d love if you guys would read it over and tear it apart if you have to.
I’d also love to know if you think it makes sense as a standalone piece 🙂
Thanks so much and here’s the link

By the way, please don’t feel obligated to edit it! I understand completely if you don’t have time 😀

June 27, 2018 at 6:49 pm #74576@seekjustice Like I commented on the doc, I love it!! It works perfectly as a stand-alone piece, and I think everyone who reads it will love it too.
…unless they’re a thirteen-year-old kid who thinks romance is “mush” even when it’s simple and sweet. 😛
I’m amazed at how often you say you hate romance when you write it so well! 😉 I guess you just mean you hate badly-written and too complicated romance?

June 27, 2018 at 7:07 pm #74577Awww, thank you 🙂 You’re so sweet and encouraging.
Well, I guess for me, writing romance is no different to writing a psychopath like Theresa Caelan. It just requires a lot of imagination. And while I don’t really like reading romance, I may have a soft spot for writing it. Particularly Sapphire and Quillon. They warm my cold, hard heart 😉

June 27, 2018 at 7:30 pm #74578By the way everyone, I would love to stay and chat today but I’m going out with my family and I’m not sure how long I’ll be gone for. Probably I won’t be around today 🙁
May your writing prosper in tue absence of the queen.

June 27, 2018 at 8:12 pm #74580@seekjustice Ooh awesome! The contest wouldn’t happen to be the SE one would it? (or maybe that’s already closed…?). I’d love to read/comment on your short story! 😀
@rochellaine @alia @dekreel @dragon-snapper I think I can be on now. Forgive me if I randomly disappear or my responses are really long in coming, the internet where I’m at is pretty bad.I'm a Kapeefer 'TIL WE'RE OLD AND GREY!

www.jennaterese.comJune 27, 2018 at 9:56 pm #74582@dekreel Hey, Dekreel!! I see you on SeekJustice’s document. I feel like I barely know you anymore, you’re never around! Are you on right now?

June 27, 2018 at 10:37 pm #74583@seekjustice I just realized that the link you gave Rochellaine was the second draft of your first Stars. I’d hate to back out on this, but do you mind if I wait on reading until it’s done (that is, if you were wanting us to read the second draft)? I have two other alpha readings that I’m doing, plus trying to get my website up + life stuffs, and I don’t want you to be waiting for me or expecting me to read it soon. Is that okay? (Trust me, I REALLY want to read it!)

www.jennaterese.comJune 28, 2018 at 4:31 am #74584No that’s fine! I just posted it because Rochellaine wanted to read it. I won’t be looking for beta readers until its done, and you’re welcome to read it then. Of course, if you don’t want to read it again, you don’t have to 😉

June 28, 2018 at 10:31 am #74585@seekjustice Okay, awesome, thank you! And I definitely want to read it when it’s done 😀

@dekreel @rochellaine @catwingAnyone around? I’m editing.

June 28, 2018 at 5:02 pm #74588@seekjustice Hi, I’m here! Possibly working on a blog post, possibly working on my western. 🙂 Neither of which has been touched in weeks. 😛
