Yes @Kate-Flournoy, isn’t it wonderful. Rant threads are nice. *huge grin* I like ranting.

What?! A Les Miserables thread? And dedicated to Jean Valjean no less!! Wow. So you love Jean Valjean as much as I do?
*long sigh* There’s too much! I feel the same as you with most of what you said, so I’ll not waste time repeating it. But first, Javert—I’m not entirely sure of my terminology, but I think he’d technically be considered an…[Read more] -

@his-instrument I had a small baby book at one point in time too, but I copied all the names and their meanings down into one notebook…it took a long time. 😛
Ooh, roots for names, I’ll have to do that too. I love roots. ☺ I have had people mispronounce the characters names, but in my book, it’s pretty straightforward. -

@his-instrument @graciegirl Haha! Yes, it’s Emperor’s New Groove. It’s probably one of my favorites too. 😛

@Daeus Oh yeah, totally know what you mean.

Or ‘wistful’, but that may not be strong enough.

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Book Description Opinions in the forum Novel Critique Requests 9 years, 7 months ago
@Daeus Ah yes, that’d do it.
How about ‘aching’? I looked up synonyms for yearning and that was the only one I saw yet that might possibly sound good…

@Daeus For the [insert descriptor here] you should do ‘tear-jerking’.
No, I’m kidding. It’s true but bittersweet kind of already says that. 😛 Eh…I’ll tell you if I think of anything.And you don’t need to eat your humble pie—how will they know how good it is if you don’t tell them?!
The only thing I’d say to fix is to italicize the book…[Read more]

@Northerner Okay…I’m not s’posed to post the link in a public place, so what should I do? Wait, I can probably e-mail Sarah (Community Happiness Director) and ask her to give you the address. I’ll go do that.

I’ve got to go now too, so thanks for the balloons!

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Call for beta readers in the forum Novel Critique Requests 9 years, 7 months ago
@Northerner Yep, than makes sense. So, even if I notice spelling/grammar errors, should I not point them out?
I think I can manage this. I’m not familiar with working on Google Docs, so I may need some help learning the ropes, but it shouldn’t be too difficult.
Now you need my e-mail address, right? (Mom’s, ’cause I don’t have one. 😉 ) -

@Northerner That doesn’t sound too long…I’m thinking about it, but lemme make sure I understand the schedule better. So, you’d send the document, and then you’d like one chapter a week at least…so I’d make note in the document on anything I notice (in your post here it says not everything, but on your blog it said anything…which is best?),…[Read more]

@Northerner Approximately how long is it? Better tell me in page, not word, number—I’ll understand that better. 😉

@winter-rose I was about to take break as well, but I’ll be back in about half-an-hour. I’m still planning, but its fun, so I don’t mind.
