Weekly Check-in Post :)

Are you still sitting near that instrument of chaos, now knowing that it's not the keyboard's fault that you're pulling out what little hair you have left. . .

No, it's the beta's fault. . . I mean I sent in a whole bunch of words. . . a lot of them, really, but she sent it back, and she must have bled on it - there was a lot, and I mean a lot of red all over it!

11 words was all I could keep, not even the title, which was probably a valid point as it said title to be determined.

But come on. . . why are they so picky about commas, periods and for heavens's sake, quotation marks, you'd think I had committed hairy-carey!

So while I did have a lot of words typed, I had to cut them down to practically nothing - my beta made me do it.

How are you all doing?


O BTW - I really love my beta

No beta, no story, no words, no hair...

Betas are sooo mean! ;-)

*pats you on the head*

They're just doing their jobs - although, maybe they can sometimes be a little overzealous! ;-)

Changed my idea, started writing and researching, but I'm at work almost every day. Frustrating!

Work does tend to get in the way of things. I guess that's why we go to 'work' instead of going to 'fun'. :-)

Good luck with your new idea - if you have some spare ones hanging around, I could really use one!

(It's a crossover, so unless you are a Frances Hodgson Burnett fan, I'm afraid it's not transferable.)

"hairy-carey"! *dies laughing* You crack me up. Is that Doyle's hair?
