Ok, I need to make myself do some editing here. Anybody want to tag along for a half an hour or so?

Perfect. 😀

@kate-flournoy Ooops, I just realized I didn’t get specific enough with my reply. Basically, it just has to be my story, not somebody else’s. I have to do the work, but there are no limits on help if I want it and I can receive suggestions, corrections, etc.

Okay, great! Thanks. 🙂 *whew* 😉

@kate-flournoy. Yes, the rules have nothing against beta reading. It’s kind of uncommon, but I’m taking advantage of it.

Yyyyyyyyes I did @Daeus, and I had a quick question… this being a contest, do the rules allow for beta reading? I mean, I know feedback and all that stuff is allowed, but how specific are the rules for this particular contest? Or is it just that you have to do all final and actual editing yourself? People can tell you what they think, but the…[Read more]

Ok, you two should have received an email from me now.

Sure, no problem! We’ll do. 🙂

The overwhelming support here is frankly astounding.

@kate-flournoy Sooner is better since the deadline is in eight days, but I don’t expect you to hurry yourself. A couple days is fine.

By the way, if you want to keep your email off the web, you can just send me an email through the contact forum on my website thescratchingquill.com and I’ll…[Read more]

Yikes, I didn’t know it would make it into a link… 😛 sorry, don’t know what to do about that. Just copy and paste it, I guess. 😀

You know, Tessa, that would make a cute children’s book if you put an illustration for every two stanzas or so. And “mad” sounds fine if your audience is younger children.

Well, it’s not published, so no you can not buy it, but illustrating it myself, I have just completed my first children’s book. It is going to be for a friend’s daugh…[Read more]

Wonderful. Thank you so much.

@faithdk No problems. I got a lovely bit of writing done. 😀

Centerburg is literally in the very smack dab center of Ohio. Cincinnati would probably be 3hrs away from it or so and Columbus would be the closest.

Of the towns I mentioned, Washington courthouse is probably the closest to Cincinnati, but still very far away. Kate might know better about towns near Cincinnati. I think she’s closer.

Alright this is great. Now let’s see if I can get across another request. If I was to choose Centerburg which city is the closet to it? Which city is about 3 hours away?
You may/may not be able to do the 3 hour one, but if you can give me a an estimated time that would be great.

(And in case you’re wondering, Ohio is the setting for my next short…[Read more]

I’m back. That was quick. 😀 😀 😀

@faithdk

I’m back. That was quick. 😀 😀 😀

@bluejay Cities: Akron, London, Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati, Newark, Sandusky

Towns: (I’m hoping I get you right. You mean like city districts or large rural communities?) Centerburg, Upper Arlington, Washington courthouse, Dublin.

Does that help?

I’m off for 5 minutes or so @faithdk. But I’ll be back. Let you know when I get here.
