The Great Write Way, Act Three: Where's the gun?

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

“Not dead yet!”

Back to writing after nearly two weeks off between the vacation and RWA Nationals. Three chapters revised with nearly a thousand new words in a scene. Making note of where I'm going to need to cut further ahead, because some of a future scene is now redundant.

It's like playing a game of chess.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yup, I am made of Imposter Syndrome, so I totally sympathize. But you are, in point of fact, awesome, and Agent Kate loves your book. Do the polishing, rock it out, and off it goes!

Yay for Gud. I do the researching thing, like your wife, and I'm glad she's interested, but you should feel free with drawing your own lines, Gud. Also, you should feel free to ask for betas when you're ready for them, and we can be all interferey ourselves. Hee. Because we're going to love your book.

Yay for Barb back to writing! We have an awfully active thread all of a sudden, even without drabbles!

Is that volunteering? I'd love to have somebody else give it a read, but I don't want to ask since this is going to be in the area of 150,000 - 160,000 words.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Go, Allyson!

And YAY, Barb!

Also, I'm in awe of you, Gud. I'd love to volunteer, but that's a big commitment. Maybe three-four chapters? Just to start? Profile addy's good.

That would be awesome. Maybe just the opening chapters, though that will still probably be awhile. I'm still trying to finish off the chapter 1 remix. Hopefully, things will start moving faster after that as I'll start to actually copy and paste parts from the first draft that just need tweaking instead of replacing.

Wheee! That fiction story I was freaking out about writing a few weeks ago? Was accepted by Steampunk Tales magazine!

Oh, and Gudanov, when you are ready for beta readers, consider me volunteered. i can't offer any kind of expertise in the way of feedback, but I have read a fair amount of fantasy and tend to have opinions.
