R...which was surprising, but I really proud of it and gonna try it in a different market :)

Agreeing with all these guys. I've never written a bad idea. Usually the ideas I come up with are ones I like to write about. Now, where I have messed up before is the execution, but luckily I have a writing group that is not afraid to tell me straight up that something needs to be fixed in HOW the ...

PM me and we can exchange emails. My story for Q1 is still being grammar checked by someone in my writing group, its a "thinkfluential" sci/fi mystery piece that hovers around 4k I can send your way.

HM for me, 3rd in a row :)

HM for me :)

I finished my Q1 draft last week, it is currently making the rounds in my writing group :)

Finally submitted my Q4 5 minutes ago after arguing with myself for 20 minutes over a punctuation mark. I feel really good about this quarter :)

Submitted 8/21...now to take a nap.

Sure, just drop me a PM when you have time. :)

Hi everyone! My short story that I'm considering for Q4 finally finished making its rounds in my writer's group, and I would like another pair of eyes on it, if anyone would be so willing. Any kind of feedback would be welcome. I wrote it based of a random prompt challenge and I'm really proud of wh...

Looking for 1 or 2 Alpha readers. Grammar should be good, commas, are all over the place, but does the story work? 4400 words. I can return an under 10k swap after Aug 5th. wotf009 I'm down. send me a pm. My Q4 is still running the gauntlet as it makes the rounds through my critique group, so I'm h...

Hi all, I have been wondering what the difference between a short story and a novel is, besides length. What are the main differences? I want to change one or two of my short stories into YA novels, but I don't know how to go about it. Thanks for any help you can give me! There's just... more. Of e...

I just realised my Q2 HM was only a second draft. How many drafts do people do generally? My previous rejections and HMs would have been at least 4 or 5 drafts. It's taking me longer to write stories, but less drafts feels like a good thing! For me, it really depends on the story. Generally, I'll d...

I'll take a look at it as well, PM me :)

I am also willing to take a look. Send me a PM :)

Another HM for me :)

HM 7/14 ... that's two in a row :)

I'll also take a look if you like, pm me.

Usually I just move onto another project, or do something else entirely. This doesn't happen very often for me, but when it does, it means I'm overworked, and I need to let my brain rest. A lot of times I'll read a book to pass the time until I feel like writing again.

I actually just cranked out a story over the past few days that I liked much better than one I started at the top of June, it's going through my writing group now, and I'm hoping to get it turned in soon :)

Any extra room in that pillow fort? I have cookies :)

Submitted for Q3 and already writing for Q4. Phew! What a horrible week this has been. I started on 3 stories until I finally chose which one to send. It feels SO good to have this done! I love the story I submitted! And I am loving my next story. I felt exactly the same way when I turned my Q3 in....

**slowly sips cocoa and waits**

Welcome Steve! :)

Hi Justin!

working on it, I just submitted Q3 after staring at the submit button for 20 minutes...

I've figured out my Q4, but I'm waiting to start on it until i get my last round of feedback for Q3 from my critique partner
