@Hannah-C I’m so sorry. I think losing a story is even worse than getting rejected. That happened to me once; well, I’d backed-up fairly regularly so I only lost a few chapters but still…it was several days worth of work. And I discovered several other things I’d lost in the computer crash weeks or months later when I went looking for them. ;( I…[Read more]

@Daeus that’s sounding more and more like a very wise idea. 😀

Oh no, @Hannah-C! That’s awful. I’m so sorry. *weeps in sympathy* Thankfully nothing this dire has ever happened to me. It almost did once— I accidentally hit ctrl-A (highlight) instead of ctrl-S (save) then continued typing before the command had fully gone through… and you know when you highlight something and keep typing, whatever you keep…[Read more]

I’ve got a bit more editing if anyone is interested???????? 🙂 Anyone????

Hey, @hannah-c , do you want to continue our conversation from Writer’s Corner here? I’m worried we might get on the nerves of the more serious-minded writers on that forum topic, but I want to ask your what the age group for your story is … 😉

You’re welcome, @hannah-c . 🙂

I really don’t know … not super young, but old people are welcome to read it too. 😉 I think I’ll evaluate it once I’ve got a first draft complete. I’ve already figured out the style, (through prewriting) which is sorta humorous and quirky. I think really young kids wouldn’t get all of the humor, and might…[Read more]

I got my editing done earlier @daeus. I’m not sure how many words, but I got a short story fixed up. 🙂

For me, what makes a story re-readable is the right combination of humor, allegory, description, friendship, terrific characters, action, satire, wit, adversity, and a good cause or purpose … whatever Chuck Black’s Kingdom Series has. I have re-read, re-read, and re-read those over the years, and the story only gets better with time.

@Jadamae she’s a bit of a perfectionist… 😉

@jadamae

Hmm…I honestly don’t know if I’d like to be a paid beta-reader. The only books I beta-read are @kate-flournoy ‘s, and I know I wouldn’t want to be paid for doing that. It’s too fun, and besides if I were getting paid I might get too stressed out about finding every single bingle little detail that could need correcting, because I’d…[Read more]

For me, I think it would be the refreshing simplicity of the style coupled with the strength and complexity of the allegory. There’s always something you didn’t notice before; always something else to remark on and think over. And it doesn’t require say, two weeks of commitment. Like the Count of Monte Cristo would. 😛 It can be read through in a…[Read more]

I’ve got some editing to do if anyone wants to tag along. I’ll be jumping up and down as I have stuff to do, but I’ve got some spare time to write.
@kate-flournoy, @hannah-c, @daeus, @jadamae

Oh and a frowny face is done with : ( 🙁
