@skredder Actually no, the paragraph before showed they were separate. Sorry, maybe i should’ve included that paragraph 🙂

@skredder ooh, nice! Casse is definitely a risk-taking person 😉

Okay, here’s mine:

Jax paced to the lone window in his cell, clenching his jaw. He looked up into the faint grey moonlight, then glanced back over his shoulder at Rin, her back to him. You realize that wasn’t a very smart decision now, don’t you? He wished he could’ve yelled it ac…[Read more]

@skredder You wanna exchange small snippets of our WIPs? 🙂

@skredder Yup!

@skredder Tomorrow’s fine then 🙂

Okay, bye!

@skredder Oh, dear, Casse….

Whatever works for you. Was it supposed to be today?

Evie waved a shy hello 😉 She says she likes your profile pic.

@skredder Yeah, I’m nervous and excited at the same time. At first, I wanted to try a literary agent, but this being my first novel that I wrote since getting serious about writing, I wanted to wait a little while.

How’s Casse? 😉

By the way, Evie is here, sharing a bowl of chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips and chocolate syrup with me (we…[Read more]

@skredder Awesome! 😉

I’m working on my dystopian WIP, hoping to finish the first draft and edit before the Realm Makers conference. I hope to get an editor to take a look at it there. 🙂

@skredder I think so 😉

@alia @rochellaine @seekjustice @skredder Anyone on for a bit?

@rochellaine Yes, @seekjustice will simply have to visit us here in the States so we can show her our ways. 😉

@jenwriter17 Yup.  Apparently it’s only an American thing.  No, I don’t think it’s weird, it was @seekjustice who originally said she thought it sounded weird.  But I guess it would be hard to picture if you’ve never seen it.  I know that it’s actually hard for people from other countries to get because we had a family from Canada stay with us a l…[Read more]

@rochellaine You mean the thing guys mostly do, they handshake then use their free arms to hug? If that’s what you’re talking about, I don’t think it’s weird. A lot of people do it. I think it’s kinda a guy thing. 🙂 very American @seekjustice 😉

@rochellaine I haven’t set up myself for the author account thingy (yet!), so I wouldn’t be able to tell you exactly how it worked. But I copy/pasted this here for you, maybe it’ll help:

Follow these steps to apply for the Author Program:
1. Sign in or create an account, and then search for your most popular book via ISBN, ASIN, or title.
2. On…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh yeah, I was thinking about young people a bit older, I guess.  Kids up until they’re about sixteen or seventeen don’t shake hands with each other, though always with older people.  (The older initiates, though, unless there’s a precocious youngster. 😉 )  When they get to their late teens they start shaking hands with each ot…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Thank you! 😀  I was so sure, but then, trying as one American to state a fact about our huge country was kind of intimidating and I wanted to make certain. 😛  @seekjustice needs to come to America to see just how normal and not-awkward the handshake hug really is. 😉

@seekjustice Oh my goodness!  The awkward head nodding thing with male friends! 😛  Sometimes the guy is confident and just goes out to shake your hand, but if he’s not sure if you want to and you’re too shy to initiate the handshake, it’s kind of awkward.  Especially if you just hugged his sister or something… 😉

Um…hmm…of course! 😀  Wha…[Read more]

@seekjustice It’s about the least awkward greeting I can imagine, for men.  They won’t go in for a hug usually, but a handshake is never awkward.  Then they can show they’re a bit more friendly by adding a half hug on to the end of it.

Women do it sometimes, but it’s mostly a guy thing.  And a guy greeting a woman will usually either shake her ha…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 No, I do not. 🙂  How does that work?

(I do know what Goodreads is, of course!  I use it all the time to look up books.  I’m just not sure what an author account would do or how you would set it up.)

@ariel-ashira I’ll be praying!
