@Daeus What Kate said about ruined and shattered. 😉
For lingering bittersweetness, that works in itself (though somehow it doesn’t seem strong enough for how strong it actually is, in the book…), but doesn’t that make the rest of the sentence kind of redundant? To say ‘a lingering bittersweetness that won’t be easily forgotten’? You judge if…[Read more]

@Christi-Eaton Well it’s not so terrible you didn’t do the musical—regular plays are awesome too—just that I’d thought it was the musical when it wasn’t. 😛 Was it a famous play?
And who were you singing a lullaby to as Cosette…?Yes. So many emotions.

@Christi-Eaton I know! I specifically meant to call you over here, but when I remembered again I was already in bed. *scowl* Rest assured, it was no betrayal.
😉
And yes, you should write something on Les Mis.
Oh, and it wasn’t the musical? 😮 I was thinking it was the musical this whole time (that’s why I thought you’d all be hoarse after so…[Read more] -

@Northerner Ha! Welp, now you know. 😛

@Northerner Whoa you got back quickly. 😛 I guess I’ll just wait until Sarah is available. (Don’t you love how much we depend on you @Spradlin?)

@Rachelle What they said. 😉

@Northerner I e-mailed, but I’ve gotten no return from Sarah or you as of yet…wondering if the transaction has taken place?
@Spradlin I need you!! 🙂 -

Oh and btw @His-Instrument, welcome back. 🙂 Glad you brought lots of truth to whatever galaxies you were in.

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] -

@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, 2 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.

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Call for beta readers in the forum Novel Critique Requests 9 years, 2 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. 😉 ) -
Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Call for beta readers in the forum Novel Critique Requests 9 years, 2 months ago
@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]
