Well, here I am again… My dad has always had eye problems, and he’s seeing a black spot that comes and goes. The last time he saw something like this, his retina was starting to detach. He has to go to the ER today for them to check it out. Hopefully it’s nothing serious, but who knows.
I’ll tag some people, @clairec, @spradlin, @kate-flourn…[Read more] -

Yep. I think we’ll get along just fine. Glad you finally got around to joining! 🙂 I stalked for a long time myself…
Do you have any favorite books, movies, plays, or other forms of literature?
Anyway, welcome to bestitest place on the interweb. 😀 -

Yes, basically. He gets paid and benefits and stuff, and it was longer than he was expecting.

Thanks for asking! He hasn’t found a job yet, but he had an interview with a company that sounds promising. He also got an awesome severance package which was unexpected. 🙂 Please continue keep us in your prayers! 🙂

I will! 🙂
What’s a severance package? By the name I’d guess it’s some consolation you get for being fired? I’ve never heard of something like that, but that’s what it sounds like…-

Jess replied to the topic Attack this, please in the forum Novel Critique Requests 7 years, 11 months ago
I like it. One thing, in here, “Discovering a historic treasure, Mathew returns…” I’m not quite sure what discovering a historic treasure has to do with Matthew returning to wreak vengeance and take on the character of Edwin. Otherwise, it attracts me and I would probably want to read it if I saw this in a book store.

@Daeus, sorry I didn’t get around to the first version, but the second one is better. 😉
Setting out to find new strength, he plummets into struggles for survival, desperate plots, uncertainties, and the vague shadow surrounding his destiny from a dying mentor’s vision.
I agree with Kate, the “into struggles” part is a bit weird. Otherwise, I l…[Read more]

@perfectfifths, I have a rather large and crazy dog, but he doesn’t interfere with my typing. XD I’m signing off too because, as previously mentioned, it’s 11:30 here. Enjoy lunch! 😛

@Dragon-snapper, Okay, I have to leave now. I wrote a couple hundred words and beta-read a good chunk, so I’m happy. 😀 How goes it for you?

@Dragon-snapper, I’ll be beta-reading/writing for about 45 minutes or so 🙂

@Anne-of-lothlorien,
I like it. I would change the first sentence, but I like the rest of the paragraph. Ideas… erm…
I’ve always fancied being able to enter a character’s world, but that was kind of done in Storybound. I like the idea of characters coming into our world, since that isn’t done very often. Or, we’re the ones in stories, and…[Read more] -
Jess replied to the topic First or Third? in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 11 months ago
I prefer first person just because I’m more comfortable with it. I get really into my character’s heads with it. (Which has made for some interesting occasions… If someone interrupts me while I’m writing 1st person, I sometimes answer like my character!) However, third person can be more practical to write. My current WIP is in third person…[Read more]
