@Dragon-snapper yeah. They said it. 😛

@dekreel @skredder I’m signing out now. I really didn’t get that much done. Wrote about 150 words, read some articles about choppy writing, and resolved I need to read more.

@dragon-snapper I’m not really an expert on this, but the thing that’s helped me most is mixing things up — variety.

Variety in sentence length. I like to mix long, short, and medium sentences in a fairly even blend.

Charlie – 3rd readers of 2nd edits.
Delta – 4th readers of 3rd edits.
Echo – 5th readers of 4th edits.
And so forth. I don’t know if this actually exists.

@his-instrument Ah, that’s awesome. 🙂 I’m very proud of you.

@warrenluther04 Lol. *pats shoulder* There there. You’re only ah… two months late.

@daeus Thanks! By the way, I went to a writers conference and pitched Prince of the Barbarians, and one of the agents was very interested and asked me to send a synopsis.

@dekreel 😀 *melts walking stick* I SHALL WRITE UNASSISTED!
SNAPPER, quit getting distracted.

@kate-flournoy *SLAP* That was for Loki

@dekreel Oh, thanks. Yes, I am friendly to everyone. lol. Perfect timing. 😛

@Daeus

Loki is skeptical.

@dekreel Yep. I’m old now.

@kate-flournoy *mic drop*

@kate-flournoy It’s sap 2.0. It’s the sap of the new age. Loki would drink it.

@Dragon-Snapper *headdesks* :’D

@kate-flournoy

@Dragon-snapper *shakes head* Welp, I mean, you just destroyed my story… everything was on that computer… so I guess you’ll never read it… too bad…

@dekreel On. Sort of. Trying to figure out how to write, because my brain seems to have forgotten.
