Wow, Allyson.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I better get crackin' on the rest.
I'm taking time off at the end of the month to hopefully get it mostly done and out for editing.
Whew!
It's almost real!

Allyson, that sounds like a mandate, if I've ever heard one. Better do it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Aimee, you should be in here, all the time.
Thanks, Cindy. I am usually in lurker mode in here cause, well, still a little shy. :)

Who are you and what have you done with Aimee?
Hee, just kidding. I felt the same way when I first started posting here, which I think was only about 3 months ago. It didn't take me very long to realize that being in here only makes my writing better. There's so much experience here to draw from when you need help. And I don't think you need a whole heck of a lot of help. Your drabbles have been exquisite.

Thank you, Sail. One day, I mightn't feel so intimidated (for lack of a better word) and post a bit of my novel in here.
I only re-started writing a bit ago and the drabbles are wonderful for me (Thanks, Steph).

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Writing is good. Writing is our friend. Or, anyway, it's sure as hell my friend - it keeps me sane.
I am nodding like a fiend over Sail's, but jumping up and down over Allyson's horoscope, because, well, yes.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Aimee, you have a novel? What's it about?
I'm in, um, three critique groups now. I feel like they're all useful, because they're all providing a different type of support and feedback, but if I start making noises about joining another, someone thwap me upside the head, because my days are running out of hours.

Heh. Susan, mine's been on hiatus, because I host them and there was first the thing with the floors, and then two of our group went out and had babies.

They're fun, but I feel like I've reached the tipping point where if I take on any more, they'll eat my writing time rather than spurring me to write more. But I've got one group that sees the rough stuff and let's me know what's working and what isn't, another that looks at bigger chunks of material at once and therefore has a better big picture perspective on the story, and then the newest, which is online and feels like it's going to offer really good give and take and specific ideas for strengthening the story.
