@graciegirl Alright! Read you around!
I wrote 1020.

DAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! *rushes in and falls on the floor in a weepy mess* HOW DID I MISS THIS??? Is it still open? Can I still reserve a slot? Please??? *begs you from her knees*

@Daeus

@winter-rose *staggers* Oh my goodness!!! Ladies and gentlemen, the only word I can think of to describe this is WOW!

@daeus Adios!
@graciegirl I’m still going.

@graciegirl @daeus I’ll be working on my WIP.

@jadamae Sweet! Yes, reviewing is TOUGH because it can get discouraging if it’s been awhile since you reviewed… I’m finding that out. 😀

@Daeus I’m pretty sure I could reasonably manage it. Send it on. 😀

If only I did know some British people. That’d be real fun.

@GracieGirl Aw, poor guy. I’ll be praying.

*cringes at all the beautiful sensible comments and retreats inside her dragonish shell*

@Winter-Rose umm… unfortunately the longest break I’ve ever taken, with all eight* novels I’ve finished, is… um… one night.
Literally. One night between novels and then I can’t wait any longer. I probably should take longer breaks… don’t kill me…[Read more]

@Winter-Rose @GracieGirl thank you both for your prayers, and yes, Gracie— I’ll pray. 😉 I don’t imagine something like that comes without a lot of emotional turmoil in the family too.

@daeus I have sent it to you. Be brutal. Fight hard against poor literature. 😉 May the force be with you.

@daeus Sounds good. I think you have my email from last time.

@daeus No, I can do the second one. At first it seemed like you were going to do three main groups, because you had nearing 9 beat-readers. But the second one is fine. I’ll be on vacation soon anyways, so this works best.
Will do.

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

@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.

@winter-rose Breaks? What are those? Who has time for breaks? XD

I do leave a project for a little bit when I’m done with it, but I never actually take a break from writing because I’ve several projects going at a time. To get a good perspective on a manuscript, yes… taking a break for a few weeks or months (I’ve heard months is good but have…[Read more]

@daeus This book comes highly recommended. 😀 Though… I don’t have time for a page by page beta reading like I did last time. I should be able to read it through in a month and jot notes on each chapter or anything plot or character wise that catches my eye if that works for you.

As for a manuscript swap… even if it wasn’t taken, 170,000 is a…[Read more]

@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]

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

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