Do they send you a notice when somebody says a review is not helpful? If not then I think I may have gotten one or two of those. I tailor the reviews to reflect what stage I feel they should be focusing on a rewrite. I'm reluctant go deeper and unnecessarily overwhelm people, but don't know what people are looking for in those cases.

I'm trying to work on a story about a huge acid dealer, kind of like breaking bad stuff but I don't know anything about distributors who work that high up on the chain except how paranoid they would be all the time.

Guys who make it that far up the chain aren't paranoid because they've got it clamped down.
At least that's how I was before I became an ascetic monk.
Then the guys from Fat Tire stole my beer recipe.
After that I went to work for Goodwill industries.

4.40 PM. The time of day when I wish I had a Tardis that I could hop into and fast foward myself to 5.30. Then I'd take the Tardis to Taco Bell's drive thru, pick up some dinner, and go home. All in about 10 minutes time or less. Because it is a Tardis.
I'm really sleepy. Work day, when will you end?

If I have something I need to do, i.e: write, go to work, etc, I can pull myself away from games. It's feeding myself that gets complicated. Why nourish myself when I can be absorbing dragon souls?

I haven't started my week two assignment yet. For some reason I'm having a really difficult time even coming up with a basic plot. I blame the fact that I have two jobs: one of which involves managing small children for four hours everyday. Skyrim doesn't help. How's your piece coming?
.
November 18, 2011 - 11:37am
Wow your a busy person! It's coming along great actually. Mostly because Skyrim isn't in front of me though. The deadlines are much more hectic in this class though. I'm not sure if their shorter than Mark's class but it sure feels like it. You better get to it! Deadline is Sunday.

Charles, I don't care for the figgy pudding either. It certainly isn't something I would hold people hostage with my singing in order to obtain.

Yeah Rae it doesn't sound like you have the greatest boyfriend but who does I guess.
If I started a book club with only men then it would probably be us killing beers.

Avery and Dakota- Ha! Yeah, I guess I haven't painted a very nice picture for him. He's extremely sweet and I'm just not saying all of the nice things he does. Here's one: Two days ago I forgot to bring a lunch to work. He showed up with a tablecloth, candle, rose vase, and take out from one of my favorite restaurants. It looked pretty silly considering I work at a yogurt shop, but it was still very nice.
The reason he doesn't want me in the book club is because they're all his friends and it doesn't make sense for me to join. Also they're not really having discussions, more just recommending books to each other. So even if I'm not in the club, every recommendation people make I'll hear about anyway since I live with him.
