@his-instrument Edward III claimed to be king of France and began the hundred year’s war in…1347.

Is that right?

@Daeus I like it! As Kate says… you were born to sell things. Writing about my book is one of my least favorite things. Can’t just writing the thing be enough? As for bittersweet, I looked it up int a thesaurus and it gave me poignant, nostalgic, affecting, touching, and sentimental. Not sure if any of those fit, but…

@his-instrument Well, if you got me started on them I bet I could remember the rest.

@his-instrument The Princess Bride! 😀 Fezzic to Westley.

@his-instrument. Oh, you did classical conversations? That’s neat. I was in it from 8-17.

@kate-flournoy *GASP!* You can’t be a true Les Mis fan if you haven’t read about the sewers!

Yeah. Sure. Whatever. It’s still one of my favorites, so I can forgive you. Actually, you’re totally and 100% right, I’m just righter.

@his-instrument Why rewrite the musical. It’s great the way it is.

Er, yeah, let’s see. I’d pretty much agree. I do think Hugo should have cut down on some of his fluff, but the vast majority of it was great. I have some slightly different personal opinions, such I don’t think I liked Eponine quite that much and Javert’s only in the top five or…[Read more]

The crocodile toe–I was just trying to sell one to Kate. …Though I don’t…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Yeah, I have them italicized where I wrote them, but copying and pasting it here apparently stripped it of its formatting.

@northerner Read it like, “confront everything he fights for being shattered.” I think most people have been fine with the wording, though a few have been confused by it. I don’t know. I’ll consider possibly changing it.

@northerner Good points.

@kate-flournoy Hehe. Thanks. Would you like a crocodile toenail? Just looking at those things whisks you off into a land where the trees rocket into the firmament and the eternal marshlands teem with the untold tales of a thousand deeds the murk has hidden from our annals of history. If I had half a brain I’d charge you $300, but because you’re my…[Read more]

Alright. I’m signing out. Thanks for writing everyone!

@dragon-snapper @graciegirl @winter-rose I’ll be working on my book description. Don’t know how long it will take, but I’ll probably be at least a half hour.

That’s probably about 200 normal book pages, I think.

@northerner Ah, I wish I could. Keep me in mind for the future since I always love beta reading, but at the moment I’m afraid I can’t add any more to my plate. 🙁
