You need to shake it more like a magic 8-ball.
Good luck!
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

YUP! I have data limitations, so it`d be best if I could get the file after the 23rd, but I`d be happy to.

I working slowly on 55. Taxes got in the way this weekend, but at least they are all done.
I got a chapter back from Beta Exchange person two. One of the comments is that it all (the manuscript) reads more like an outline than a draft. I'm a bit like, it's not good enough even to be a draft? Maybe it just means there are too many places where scenes could replace narrative, that doesn't seem unusual for a draft.

I just got an e-mail asking for my opinion on a query. I'd like to help, but I'm not to the point where I've even researched how to write one. I think I'll just have to say, sorry, but I can't give you anything useful.

No progress yesterday, I worked until 9:30pm and by the time I got home, had dinner, and fixed the VOIP adapter; there was no time left. Well, I wrote a couple of sentences after checking my e-mail.
I gave a shot at feedback on the query letter, but I made the caveat that I'm not the right person to ask. Guess I couldn't help giving my opinion.
Beta Exchange person one sent me an e-mail, maybe that'll start up again.
I haven't forgotten about you erika, I've been very pressed for time with work and other things like taxes. When I start getting time again, I'll be looking at it.

It's all right, not like anyone is waiting on it.

I actually made some progress on 55. Not working late really helps.
