The Great Write Way  

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

Well, that makes sense in a weird way. The most I can do is say I'm gonna sit at the desk for an hour. I usually write something. I miss fic, though. But I need to not for a little while longer.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I don't recommend being as unstructured as I am to anyone, but it does work for me.

And if a scene is intense enough to warrant that kind of flow? I go with it.

Oh, hell, I can't take it.

Are any of my angelic beta readers around? Anyone? I need to know if this exorcism scene works.

t pokes head into thread

Hi all. Sorry to just jump right in here and ask for help, but I'm working on an essay and am totally stuck. I'm really not pleased with it and could use someone to take a look at it and share their thoughts. Anyone willing?

I'm here, Deb, vw.

VW, send - I'm heading out but can look at it tonight, and will.

erika, I'll send you chapter 12 (the lead-in to the exorcism) and the beginning of Chapter 13 (the exorcism).

I just need to know if it works, and if not, why.

OK. Great. I've never betaed an exorcism before...

Hee! Insent.

Read Chapter 12 first, though; it gives you the backstory of why they approach the thing the way they do.

Insent to you both. Thank you.

And Deb, I'd offer to read yours, but I'm really having trouble concentrating right now. Maybe that's why I'm having so much difficulty writing this piece. Anyway, I'd love to read it, but probably wouldn't be able to get through it...stupid brain.

VW, backsent. I sat down and read and commented before heading out. Let me know if you want clarification, or if I can do more for you, OK?
