Hum. That sounds like it makes sense. I’ll try it. And if it doesn’t work, you’ll know, because I’ll be back on here screaming for help. 😛

Never heard of WordPad before but it doesn’t look like an office system so it probably doesn’t have a comments option. If you don’t have an office system, get one. LibreOffice is free. If you have one, but it isn’t opening the file in that office system, right click the document in the email and then select, “open in” and select your office system.

Okay, one more question. I got the document, Hope, and I started reading it, only to discover that I have zero clue how to comment on a WordPad file. Help me please? Anyone who knows how or even if this can be done? I will be forever in your debt…

Wait— you and KP are splitting ways, Daniel? What did I miss?!?! What dreadful things follow such a drastic and astonishing announcement?

I haven’t listened to the podcast yet— maybe you mentioned it there. I’ll probably get around to it tomorrow. Tuesdays are usually it for me.

I have seen that one— and personally, I didn’t like it as much as I was hoping I would. No disparagement to those who do— it just wasn’t as great for me as I was expecting. I liked the book a million times better.

A lot of it probably has to do with the fact that I’m completely spoiled when it comes to actors… my parents have always been…[Read more]

Thank you, Daeus. The… hm… hypothetical guy I referenced is generally a pretty laid back, cheerful, happy personality, who likes to joke and tease and make people look at him like he’s crazy. Not that he doesn’t feel grief as keenly as the next person, but he chooses to make light of it because being grumpy about it won’t change anything. When…[Read more]

Too cloudy.

Sounds good. I’ve probably embarrassed myself enough for the week. 40 kg or so I should think. Right on schedule.

Boy, I was just about to use the forbidden word, but I won’t. Personally, I like it just for the sound and to give the impression of a kinda laid back sort of style which is rather my disposition on a form. Seeing as you dislike it…[Read more]

too cloudy.

Well in your hypothetical scenario, hmm… I don’t experience many hypothetical situations myself so its hard to speak very authoritatively. Of course it depends on the person. In such a situation, I do think one might cry, but you see, to my knowledge (which is very limited. Anyone to second this?) men don’t usually just start crying (when they…[Read more]

Tried the contact page. Did it work?

Okey dokey. I did it. Thanks so much, Hope. I’m really looking forward to this. I read the first paragraph you had up on your blog, and… well… I’m hooked. You caught me. That can be a good thing, or that can be a bad thing. It depends upon your perspective, I suppose. 😉

I like it too. 🙂
Okay, I talked to my mom, and she says we’ll have time for it. I can’t make any promises as to when I will have it finished for you, but hopefully it should be before the end of the year. We’re just starting to get back into homeschool after welcoming our tenth sibling into the home 😀 so the schedule is going to be really,…[Read more]

Thanks for the tips, Daeus. I have an… ahem… hypothetical case to present. Just a question, actually. Say a young man (sixteen, almost seventeen) was thrown into command of a tired, demoralized, losing army, while his father (who had been the commander) and his uncle (with whom he is very close) and his sweetheart (enough said) are captives of…[Read more]

How many people do you want to beta read your book, Hope? Because I can’t say for sure, but I may be able to as well. Considering it is only 125 or so pages (which is an excellent length for a book; how do you do it? Mine end up five hundred plus!) I could probably squeeze it in. I’ll talk to my mom about it, and if she says we’ll be able to do…[Read more]

Ok, wen’t ahead and did that. You should have my email now.

My book’s historical fiction, but it doesn’t have a large focus on the history, more the story. Its a long and complicated plot, so I won’t try to explain it now, but I personally love the plot and only hope my writing may match up to it.

Ooohhhh, well they don’t scream gasp or faint over good books!

Scream? Well, they only scream if they’re being goofy (which is quite often). They might yell a warning or yell in pain. Still, they might make a frightened yellish the thing if they are suddenly frightened.

Gasp? Most likely going to happen when they see somebody about to get…[Read more]

Only the sixth chapter of the first book! It hasn’t even started to get good yet!

Oh, and with the screaming, gasping, fainting thing, I was talking about this topic. What makes men scream, what makes them gasp, etc. Sorry— should have clarified that. 😛

I think I could manage that. Anyways, if I find I can’t, it will do no harm. And I’ll probably take you up on the beta-read exchange deal, though it won’t be for another year probably. I should warn you though, mine will be probably twice as long. If that seems unfair, you may of course temper your offer with a caveat on length, and I will oblidge.

The forth (well now it’s 6th) chapter of the first book.

As to screaming and gasping and fainting, I’m not quite sure what you refer to, unless they be suggested reaction to the demotion of Ben-Hur. If so, I am not to greatly shaken I think. Fourth is still a very noble position. I have no fear at least that any book will ever surpass my all time…[Read more]
