@dragon-snapper  Still here?

@skredder  Well done! See ya later 😀

Well, I gotta go for now. I reached 10,000 words on my WIP though! 😀

@dekreel @skredder I’m signing out now. I really didn’t get that much done. Wrote about 150 words, read some articles about choppy writing, and resolved I need to read more.

@dragon-snapper  Ohhhh, I see

Yup. Gamma and epsilon are Greek.

@dragon-snapper I’m not really an expert on this, but the thing that’s helped me most is mixing things up — variety.

Variety in sentence length. I like to mix long, short, and medium sentences in a fairly even blend.

Variety in sentence openers. Too many subject openers in a row can get choppy. Try to throw in some -ings,…[Read more]

@dekreel Well, I was going by the military version. Gamma an Epsilon… I think those are Greek? Or some other version.

I don’t know. That’s just what I’m calling them.

@dragon-snapper Ahhh, interesting! 🙂

Why aren’t they called Gamma and Epsilon? (Honestly Charlie and Echo are awesome names, it’s just…)

@dekreel Alpha – 1st readers of unedited work.
Beta – 2nd readers of 1st edits
Charlie – 3rd readers of 2nd edits.
Delta – 4th readers of 3rd edits.
Echo – 5th readers of 4th edits.
And so forth. I don’t know if this actually exists.

@dragon-snapper  Alpha? Beta? Charlie?! How many types of proofreading are there?!

@his-instrument Ah, that’s awesome. 🙂 I’m very proud of you.

@warrenluther04 Lol. *pats shoulder* There there. You’re only ah… two months late.

LOL Yes you can read it. BUT, you’ll probably have to wait a bit until I’m done with this round of edits. Then, I’ll ask for another round of beta-readers (charlie-readers). But I will need that kind of people, so I’ll be sure to tag you if you’re available…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Ah, that makes sense. I sit on my bed, though. It’s a wee bit softer than the floor. And it has pillows! 🙂

@dekreel You’re welcome.
Feel ya there. *concentrates ‘not’*

@skredder I never melt my own chair. Everyone else sits on the floor.

@daeus Thanks! By the way, I went to a writers conference and pitched Prince of the Barbarians, and one of the agents was very interested and asked me to send a synopsis. So we’ll see where that goes. 🙂 I thank you for your encouragement, and for teaching me the importance of body language. It is a lesson I’ve never forgotten. I now own The Em…[Read more]

@dekreel I can’t wait to read it.

Right now, me and my MC are plotting how to sneak a group of people into a fortified castle.

@dragon-snapper Out of curiosity, if you melt all chairs, what do you sit on to write?

@dragon-snapper  Same, though. XD

Thanks for the melt. I needed that. *forces self to return to story* Sheesh. “Favorite part,” I said.

@daeus  HA! Yes, you are SO friendly and kind. As friendly and kind as a lamb. (get it? XP )

(That was perfect timing… X’D )

@dekreel 😀 *melts walking stick* I SHALL WRITE UNASSISTED!
SNAPPER, quit getting distracted.
