@daeus No, I can do the second one. At first it seemed like you were going to do three main groups, because you had nearing 9 beat-readers. But the second one is fine. I’ll be on vacation soon anyways, so this works best.
Will do.

@daeus Okay, sounds good. Though do keep in mind that I will be starting school mid-August.
When should I send you my manuscript?

@daeus Yes. That’s what I failed to do. As long as you’re working on something, you should be okay. @winter-rose
Don’t be like Dragon Snapper. Don’t not write for more than a few days. Dragon Snapper is being nice and giving you a great example of what not to do.

@winter-rose No. Don’t do it. Do not take a break.
Here’s my logic, cause I know I’m going against practically every person’s opinion in the world about taking breaks in writing.
Personally, when I finished my novel, I was like ‘yeah, I’ll take a break’, so I did. Ouch. I will never ever do that again. It broke me. Yeah. I wasn’t able to write…[Read more]

@lifeofkatie, I’ve just had a look and looks good!! congratulations on starting a blog.

@winter-rose I think breaks are great. A break for a month or so has worked for me to get a new perspective on things. It really helps to leave something alone for a little while because you can start afresh. But, this:

Don’t wait until your story is ‘ready’ to share it, or it will never be ready.

As Brandon said, Alpha and beta readers are there…[Read more]

@Winter-Rose I’m kinda busy and I didn’t bother to read the previous comments so hopefully I’m not repeating them too much. XD But I’ve found breaks incredibly helpful. You finish a novel. You set it aside. You either take a break from writing, or work on something new that you’re inspired about (whichever you prefer). This helps avoid total…[Read more]

@daeus –

Okay, gotcha. Thanks for helping me to understand. 😉 Sure, I’d love to be an “early reader” and leave a review. I think that would be my forté at this point. 😉

Praying for Jasper and you all 🙂 @graciegirl

@winter-rose Taking a break is a good idea. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a month, but you should definitely have some time between finishing the first draft and beginning to edit/proofread/rewrite (if you leave it too long, though, that’s procrastinating, and you should make yourself do it. Personal experience 😉 )

As for your dilemma with…[Read more]

As for your dilemma with your Alpha, I don’t see why you can’t send it to her in the meantime. She may be able to give you some insight on how to…[Read more]

Hi all, I’ve got a request for my family.
This afternoon we found out that our pup, Jasper, has some health issues. 🙁 We’ve only had him 6 months but we all love his so much! Since we’ve got him he’s had all sorts of problems and even a surgery. Then this happened and it just feels like the little guy can’t get a break. Prayers that he will…[Read more]

@daeus @graciegirl If you want, love, you can just DM it to me on Insta and I can give it to him? Unless Daeus has a better, more efficient way.

Oh, emails. Right. How do we do this again?
I think I gave you an email way back when I read Edwin Brook, but I’ve sentenced it to retirement since then.

And…*drumroll* here is my protag, Nora!!! XD
A few fun facts: She’s ISTJ, annoying as both a person and a character, and nearly impossible to find collage material for. XD

I haven’t found a soundtrack that absolutely screams her yet, but the track starting at the 22:08 mark in that same music compilation manages to at least remind me forcibly of her.

Hi, yeah, me again. XD But I’m trying a different style this time.

Meet Evaleen the Stargazer’s Daughter, a major character from Personification. You’ve seen her a couple times before actually. I posted a sketch of her at one of her rare low moments on the first page, and she can be found in the bottom left-hand corner of my collage from This…[Read more]

@Daeus By September? WOW. Good luck. I’d want it again, if you can still use more. 😀

@lifeofkatie that’s awesome! Definitely checking it out! 😀
