That’s good. I’m not really to the point where I need people editing my story, yet. Although @kate-flournoy reads my current WIP as I go. @jane-maree

I haven’t actually read the books, but I’ve seen all the movies…I tried to read the books, I swear! I was younger, though, and they were kinda…long. @kate-flournoy

@That_Writer_Girl_99 have you read it???

Ah. So…kinda like the editing before the actual editing. The preparations.

How…tedious. @jane-maree

*grins* “Sort of” editing? Hm…sounds suspicious. @jane-maree

This is one of the first forums I commented on, awww….

What is it with you people and being obsessed with LOTR? I just can’t see it…Can someone explain what the big deal is? @ethryndal @kate-flournoy @His-instrument @daeus

I’m here if anyone else is on. @kate-flournoy @jess @winter-rose @jane-maree @daeus @graciegirl

@Ethryndal *eyes you proudly and silently hands you Tolkien Award*

@His-Instrument well @Ethryndal and I discovered recently that I’m Luthien Tinuviel and I have dark hair but I’m not from Rivendell. 😀 The Girdle of Mellian, I think… 😉

@GracieGirl Whoo-HOO! *claps you on the shoulder* It’ll be all right. XD Who was your favorite?
But I’m gonna say, wait till you read Les Mis. It’s even better. (Though a different sort of story, I know.)

@jess I’m back!

I’m going to go, too. There’s a special event goin on in my favorite Xbox game, and I…well, never mind. Bye all!

I’m going to go make dinner now. I edited two chapters, and got an idea for a way to fix the analogy. Thanks everyone!

I’m not really worried about the word count at this point. I’ll be happy if I get the story done… @audrey-caylin @dragon-snapper @winter-rose

Gabby, I’m with you. the first draft is my favorite–I kinda hate editing.

@winter-rose Augh! I know. Writing it was so much more fun that sitting and using red pens.

@audrey-caylin @that_writer_girl_99 Actually, it’s already finished. You could say I’m editing the first draft. It stands at about 83,000 words, though I have major tweaking to do, because like you, Audrey, I have to incorporate some Christian themes into this thing, making it partway analogy. That has to be hardest part of this book. 😛

Your fifth draft?! Did I read that correctly? Oh my word.

I’m on my first as well, and boy is it tough. @dragon-snapper @audrey-caylin

*raises hand* First draft!
