Yes'm, please send it my way.
Buffy ,'End of Days'
The Great Write Way
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Sent, Bev. Thanks.
Read and backflung. Rubbing hands in anticipation. It's getting good!
Need any more betas, deb?
Yep! Sending...
OK. Will try to get to as soon as I finish a complete rewrite of the Lucy synopsis based on suggestions from writers group tonight. (Want to see that, once it's done?)
Of course. And there's no rush on mine; I'm likely going to get another big chunk done tomorrow, and my gut tells me this one is flowing very smoothly.
Which is amazing, since my brain is tapioca and I fel very vague and dithery.
Wow, you guys. I started copying the sentences I liked best, but pretty soon there were too many to post. I love catching up in this thread.
Will I ever understand exactly what I'm missing out on?
I don't speak Music. I have no better way to explain my lack of ability to, well, communicate with it. Maybe that's why reading this topic is so fascinating for me. I know that there are things that I don't hear, that there are things that are right there, and I just can't grasp - just like looking at a page covered with letters of a foreign language that other people can read, the meaning is there, the layers, the subtleties, the rich field of possibilities, but I just don't speak that language. But I keep hoping I'll one day learn.

deb, so, later, count me in?
Deb, I'll be happy to look at the story the next time you send it 'round.
(adding Nilly and Anne to beta list)
Nilly, which email addy is best for you?

You're in some very good company there, if the school of thought that believes Shakespeare was completely tonedeaf is correct. But music is also about the lyrics, sometimes; do you do poetry?
Also, I don't speak music, either - I can't read a note. I just get naked and roll around in it. Alternately, it serves as a nice proxy for the booze I don't like; makes me very drunk.
