@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…

@emma-flournoy Yeah, I have them italicized where I wrote them, but copying and pasting it here apparently stripped it of its formatting.

@northerner Read it like, “confront everything he fights for being shattered.” I think most people have been fine with the wording, though a few have been confused by it. I don’t know. I’ll consider possibly changing it.

@Daeus *gags* No THANK YOU.

Hm… good point. I’m drawing a blank though. I shall return if something comes to me.

@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 Good points.

@kate-flournoy Hehe. Thanks. Would you like a crocodile toenail? Just looking at those things whisks you off into a land where the trees rocket into the firmament and the eternal marshlands teem with the untold tales of a thousand deeds the murk has hidden from our annals of history. If I had half a brain I’d charge you $300, but because you’re my…[Read more]

@Daeus you were born to sell things, weren’t you?
I love it. I think it’s great. Can’t find anything right off the top of my head that needs fixing.
And hey, it’s not flattery if it’s true, now is it?

As for descriptions… solemn?

@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.

I’ve got to go now too, so thanks for the balloons!

Alright. I’m signing out. Thanks for writing everyone!

@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. 😉 )

Btw @Daeu…[Read more]

@daeus Great! Hop in!

@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]

@dragon-snapper @graciegirl @winter-rose I’ll be working on my book description. Don’t know how long it will take, but I’ll probably be at least a half hour.

@winter-rose Welcome!

That’s probably about 200 normal book pages, I think.

@northerner Ah, I wish I could. Keep me in mind for the future since I always love beta reading, but at the moment I’m afraid I can’t add any more to my plate. 🙁
