Hey Jer, I have to run dear. Catch you another time. I'm going shopping with my kids. They're buying me a bithday present for tomorrow... Aren't they just dears.
Sure. That's nice of you. Just watch out for the spammers.
Hey dear, am here.
Ciao, dear.
Well, interesting is good I suppose. But a great writer I am not. So the story will have to be strong enough, to stand on its own. Without having too many errs. This is the reason for my over editing. I am not very literary inclined and I have had to visit a library or two to get some help with fancy lines and where to place a fancy word, without it sounding like I tried too hard. One line I picked up, which I found fascinating was "I'm as serious as a nun in lent." Actually because of my back ground in the home I laughed out loud in the library I was in when I first read that line. The librarians were not impressed. Ah well, what to do? I think I need to read more to become a better writer.
Oh, well it's fiction. But I used my past as a guide. In fact everything that happened in the manuscript, really happened to me and the other children living in the home. I just added a few interesting moments. Exaggerated the truth - if you will.
I am so intrigued by you Jer, you are very wise. Question (if I may), my novel is 91,165 words... (and still editing) Is that classified a novel... The reason I ask is that I have aimed it towards 10-13 year olds, but a friend of mine said that I would probably need to shorten it as it is to long for a Junior novel. What is your opinion?
I know, can you believe I have edited it at least 3 times and I am still finding errs. It's madness I tell you. But riveting. Tell me dear do I sound silly when I say I am in love with my story?
You're so cute... Still the writer. Classic. I am being naughty again. it's 1.15am here and I am still up. Mind you I have been doing some editing on my manuscript. So I haven't just been bludging on litnet.
Hey Jer. How did you sleep?
