That sounds like a huge book. I'm loving the play by play.

I wrote a thing. Greg said the ending was too abrupt, so I changed it. I didn't like the change, so I changed it back and sent it to Nick. Nick said there wasn't enough conflict and if I wasn't going to change it back again, I should at least get more conflict in the middle.

I changed it some more...but not quite the way either of them wanted me to change it... and I don't know if it's better or worse.

I'm wondering if anyone here would like to read it and comment? It's under 3k words.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Deena, I could take a look and get it back to you this evening. I'm going to be out and about through the morning/afternoon, but can look at it when I get back.

“Not dead yet!”

Deena, I've been gone since way, way early this morning, but I'm planning on reading tomorrow. If you have a more recent version, send, please?

Deena, do I have the most recent one? I have the one you sent on Thursday. Which I read, and will comment on, unless you want to send a newer version.
