The link to the Clown Anthology will not work for me. I weep. I really must have a copy. Pennywise was one of the most visually frightening villians ever IMHO. "Can't sleep - clown'll eat me!"

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I'm three pages in, and moving along.
Can I get a couple of betas shortly?

My clowns' names:
They're each wearing hats (symbolising the horses). White Hat is (famine) is Munch-em-up. Red Hat (war) is Uncle Sharpie. Black Hat (pestilence) is Mister CoughNSneeze. And the fourth hat, a pale green that looks like old mould (death), is called Morty.

Deb, what do you require of beta readers?

Um, deb? I have papers to grade. Switching back and forth to clowns will make this experience so much more fun.

OK. Will send what I've got to both.
Katerina, flow of story, consistency, whether it grabs you right off or not, smaller things like grammar and spelling, because I haven't edited any of this yet. It's only four pages right now, but I want to make sure the reader gets hooked early. If it doesn't hook, I need to know.
Sending...

Hey. New board.
NC, your sister doesn't live in CT, does she?
Nope. Virginia, these days.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Must to intercept pestilence people (local Orkin-types), supervise and then pay them, then run to bank, stop at store to pick up new dog harness, pick up Mom's dog at groomer's, drop her off at home and make the PO by 4:45, come home and set up vcr to tape QE4tSG for Matt, and grill, cool, package and find room in the fridge for several lbs of ground steak. But I can read tonight and get back to you late, Deb. Fire away!

deb, back-sent.
And remembering the problems my e-mail did last time we tried anything like this, could you let me know if you got it?
