Until we were hit by one!<br /><br />You're so good at providing advice regarding blogging and reminding me not to feel bad if you can't do EVERYTHING.<br /><br />As much as I'd love to tell you my plot twist for a Dystopian ending... I'm gonna keep that to myself... :)<br />But if I ever need a beta reader and you're free, I'll let you in on my secret early!LHugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447464817875756643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748397380381164573.post-59939151478517261402012-07-16T21:36:15.074-04:002012-07-16T21:36:15.074-04:00I bet you'd be a great beta reader!

I'm striving to finish a first draft of my Steampunk WIP by the end of 2012 so I can start revising and getting a second round of readers in 2013, so I'll be in touch! Especially knowing you have a degree in English and mad critique skills :)LHugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447464817875756643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748397380381164573.post-49761853477645219932012-07-16T21:34:11.583-04:002012-07-16T21:34:11.583-04:00Your Fast Draft sounds so cool!

I am not a writer at all, but it's neat to read your thought processes here, what your class thinks you're good at, and what you need to improve. I am very intrigued about the ending plot twist for your dystopian WIP that you mention is different from most dystopian endings (you really hit the nail on the head when you mention most end in either revolution or escape - I've never really thought of it before, but you're so right). <br /><br />Hope you keep up the writing and accomplish your goals. Try not to stress too much about not being around on the blog more often. We understand that everyone lives busy lives and it's hard to balance everything.<br /><br />Never heard of an derecho before, but I hope you're all in the clear and you won't have to experience another one!

Seriously, I'm here if you need one! <br /><br />And I totally understand about all the time you have to spend critiquing--I have a degree in English with an emphasis on Creative Writing and most of my classes were centered on critiquing. It's a lot of work! <br /><br />Thanks for writing all these posts about your classes--I love hearing about them!Andrea @ The Overstuffed Bookcasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09536790368678245670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748397380381164573.post-72889002725394325322012-07-06T21:36:23.474-04:002012-07-06T21:36:23.474-04:00I am so jealous right now! It sounds like you are...I am so jealous right now! It sounds like you are having a wonderful summer! And I love how excited you sound about your projects!! I'm starting a class tomorrow call "Fast Draft". Its not really a critique sort of thing, but it's a structured environment to get down a draft in two weeks. Kind of terrified, but really looking forward to it.fakestephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178042157823156839noreply@blogger.com
