@dragon-snapper Okay, well, you can be part of the first round if you think that would be best.

Go ahead and send me the manuscript right away.

@daeus Okay, sounds good. Though do keep in mind that I will be starting school mid-August.
When should I send you my manuscript?

@hope Sure.
@his-instrument While I don’t have time to completely beta read it, I could brainstorm with you about the overall plot, characterization, theme, and stuff like that. I might be able to beta read the first couple chapters too, just for stylistic stuff. I don’t know for sure, but we’ll wait and see.

@graciegirl @hope @his-instrument @emm…[Read more]

@daeus Yes. That’s what I failed to do. As long as you’re working on something, you should be okay. @winter-rose
Don’t be like Dragon Snapper. Don’t not write for more than a few days. Dragon Snapper is being nice and giving you a great example of what not to do.

I half agree with you @dragon-snapper. If you work on a new project during your break, I think it’s fine though.

@winter-rose No. Don’t do it. Do not take a break.
Here’s my logic, cause I know I’m going against practically every person’s opinion in the world about taking breaks in writing.
Personally, when I finished my novel, I was like ‘yeah, I’ll take a break’, so I did. Ouch. I will never ever do that again. It broke me. Yeah. I wasn’t able to write…[Read more]

@winter-rose Breaks aren’t absolutely necessary, but they are really helpful. If you feel like your work is a sloppy mess, it’s more likely that you need a break from it. But I don’t think that means you have to keep it from your alpha reader. What you might do is just let her read it and give you her thoughts, but don’t look at her thoughts until…[Read more]

Hi all, I’ve got a request for my family.
This afternoon we found out that our pup, Jasper, has some health issues. 🙁 We’ve only had him 6 months but we all love his so much! Since we’ve got him he’s had all sorts of problems and even a surgery. Then this happened and it just feels like the little guy can’t get a break. Prayers that he will…[Read more]

Oh, emails. Right. How do we do this again?
I think I gave you an email way back when I read Edwin Brook, but I’ve sentenced it to retirement since then.

And…*drumroll* here is my protag, Nora!!! XD
A few fun facts: She’s ISTJ, annoying as both a person and a character, and nearly impossible to find collage material for. XD

I haven’t found a soundtrack that absolutely screams her yet, but the track starting at the 22:08 mark in that same music compilation manages to at least remind me forcibly of her.

Hi, yeah, me again. XD But I’m trying a different style this time.

Meet Evaleen the Stargazer’s Daughter, a major character from Personification. You’ve seen her a couple times before actually. I posted a sketch of her at one of her rare low moments on the first page, and she can be found in the bottom left-hand corner of my collage from This…[Read more]

@northerner Thanks 🙂
@his-instrument Are you talking about The Prince of the Barbarians?
@lifeofkatie Sure, well, it’s all up to you. At the moment, I don’t feel any particular need for another beta-reader, but if it’s something you’d want to do, I’d be more than glad to get your feedback. Each new perspective notices something nobody else did.…[Read more]

@Daeus By September? WOW. Good luck. I’d want it again, if you can still use more. 😀

@lifeofkatie that’s awesome! Definitely checking it out! 😀

Cool @LifeofKatie! I’ll check it out. 🙂

@ethryndal @that_writer_Girl_99 @daeus @winter-rose @bethanysinkyroses @daughteroftheking @jane-maree I brought ice cream and frozen raspberries. Want some?

@dragon-snapper Yes, that’s fine.

@northerner Eh, yeah. I wish I could. 🙁

Medieval details? Seriously? I would actually love that.
