Writerly Ways

[cornerofmadness]

really almost nothing to say this week. Not truly in the mood but I did want to give a big thank you to evil_little_dog, bob_fish, seatbeltdrivein & hierath for volunteering to read the still unname Space Pirates (might just title it with the ship's name Ghost of Jupiter)

I truly appreciate your help. No,I don't know where a comma goes and I DO know that chimerae is plural of chimera but for the life of me why I didn't USE it (or in my FMA stories for that matter) I have no idea. Bad scientist.

I'll ready to send it soon.

And for everyone else, this might be helpful. We've seen a lot of these tidbits before but still. 10 things to help your writing career before you’re published

yearly word count -

33582 / 125000 words. 27% done!

Well I broke the quarter mark...remarkably behind time. sigh.

You're very welcome. I hoped they helped.

they did except the whole I'm now even longer thing. at least you didn't yell for description

I knew what the people looked like, and I've seen enough SF to know what a space ship looks like. XD

Truth! XD

No problem! What I've gotten through thus far has been very enjoyable. I hope to get it back to you in full within the next few days. :) And I definitely second naming the story after the ship. It would be very fitting.

I'm glad you like it so far. thanks

I'm very much enjoying it :) Mangaged to get it down to 14,550 so far (and I wasn't sure what the plural of chimera was either! ;) ) Should have it back to you in a couple of hours.

thanks I've been carving it down too. Looking forward to what you have. I'm glad you're enjoying it

[hierath.livejournal.com]

Just sent it back to you with oodles of what I hope will be helpful comments :)

I think I have the first of those ten things whipped already, with three novels in the works, another ready to go for NaNo this year, and yet another all set for NaNo next year. Should probably go post something on my Facebook writer's page, though, on the off chance somebody new actually friends me there.

yeah i need to MAKE FB pages for my two writing personas but Jana has herself a twitter page and a blog
