Anybody out there in writing.com land have any experience getting patreon subscribers? *Yikes*
Twitter is pretty much dead, and any other place my dark humor coping mechanism gets an "are you ok?" text from my mother. Sooo....yeah. kind of feel I've lost my random thought space.
Not me googling how to organize my writing peojects for the 800th time.
I've been missing this place lately, as well as my old friends on here and, well...I purchased a 6 month membership to make myself stick around for at least that long.

Hello to the void,

And excuse me while I try to remember how everything works. :)

YAY! WELCOME BACK!!! *Hug1**Smile**Hug2*

I assume you recall that you need curly braces to create a link such as {item:2109126} = "The Contest Challenge" . There's item and bitem links. And to tag folks, the main ones are user, suser, and huser. Excuse me if you recall all of this already. *Wink* But if you have questions, feel free to reach out. You answered a ton of my questions when I was new, so I am happy to return the favor. *Bigsmile* I'm just excited to see you back again! *Hug1**Smile**Hug2*

Schnujo is Late to Lannister aww, you're sweet! I've got too many other irons in the fire to skulk around here these days, sadly.

(I seriously can't believe I remembered how to tag people!!!)
Very glad you remember how to tag! *Laugh* I'm sorry you won't be around much, but am definitely glad you popped in! *Bigsmile*

**Door creaks open** *Hand2* Hellloooo! Remember me? I've been away for a while. A lot has happened, I've written almost two other books and have my first off at the editor (I have an editor!!! *Shock2*

Annnyway, I have a few slots for ARC reviewers and was wondering if any of you lovely people would be interested in reviewing a Space-western/steampunk-sci-fi in exchange for a free copy?

I would be happy to provide more of a description for anyone interested!

Ok, I can't come back just yet so....***eases back out the door*** *Whistle*

Sympathies, good luck out there, and know that you will be missed while you're gone.
So, it's been kinda eventful locally and I haven't been around. Unfortunately, we're also about to get massive rain dumped on us by Florence over the weekend and not sure how that's going to go. *Shock* Anyway, if there was something I was supposed to do and am not doing, I likely don't have power.

Be sure to charge your phone, laptop, and anything like a battery bank for your phone, your Fitbit and whatnot. And if you lose power, be sure to put your phone on airplane mode or turn it off when you don't need it--Especially at night. *Wink* Take care!

Hugs, stay safe!
So, I opened my email a couple days ago and found I was...nominated for best reviewing?! *Shock2* Say what? There's gotta be people out there better than me. *Rolling*

Anyway, thanks anonymous for being thoughtful and nominating me! *Heart*

I promise you it's not about being "better than". I was a judge last year, and though I can't speak for all judges, I can tell you it's a brutal job. You sit there thinking everyone should just get the award. The differences (for me anyway) were often razor thin.

Congrats on the nomination. *Heart*
FINALLY did a review! Why is it so hard to get back into the swing of it? *FacePalm*

And who am I to criticize?

I try not to. I try to apply what works for me to the next writer's work. I never comment without encouragement. I never comment without speaking to the good that I see.

And that ends it. If I get back one of those thanks-for-the-review-period e-mails, then look at the piece I reviewed and see that not a word has changed, that's fine.

I am not an editor, not a critic. There's no paycheck on the line here.
Been doing some revising on my WIP synopsis: Which sounds better? Or do either of them make the book sound interesting?

Original:
Rayn’s memories were stolen. The only clue to her past are dreams she is uncertain of and a medallion with a mysterious inscription. With the help of airship Captain, Solomand Black, and his questionable crew, she sets out to discover the truth. As the Coalition closes in, Rayn must choose whose side she is on, whether she remembers or not.

Revised: Rayn works as a gunsmith in the small town of Port Ashbury. She has no memories of who she is but is sure she does not belong in the dull Skyport with its constant stream of airships and travelers. When the haphazard airship pilot, Solomand Black, comes to town and offers her a job, Rayn seizes the opportunity she’s been waiting for to embark on a journey to uncover her past. But Solomand is keeping secrets from her. Is he someone from her past? Or merely a dangerous war criminal called the Black Recluse? As the Coalition closes in, and Rayn becomes more entangled with Solomand and his questionable crew, she must choose what side she is on, whether she remembers who she is or not.

The second reads more "complete synopsis", but the first makes me want to buy the book right now.

The revised one gives me too much to think about, so I'd probably "think about it".
On a personal note, I'd buy book #1 before book #2. Hopefully you can find a balance, and use some of NW's feedback. *Smile*
Elle - on hiatus I'm actually going for more of a blurb, so synopsis is probably the wrong description. I have gotten positive and constructive feedback on the shorter version elsewhere, as well. So, shorter it is.
