It is always good to have goals and these sound like solid ones for going from hobby to craft.

[tinhutlady]

Many thanks.
I don't know that I'm ready to call writing a craft yet. Still having too much fun with it. But I do want to present the best of what I'm capable of, especially if I want to really get across the characters and story I know I'm capable of creating. Which means I have to invest in myself.
Which is scary.

You're allowed to have fun with it even if/when you are professional. I find it kind of like sewing, if I want to kick it up a notch I need to invest time and better machines. But I'm sporadic because of other interests and until that time I will happily continue to just make things that are wearable.

So good for you for taking that time to make it a priority. All change is scary, but having read your writing I have no doubt you can pull it off.

Congrats and good luck. Was this one I did so miserably on beta reading in a timely manner

[tinhutlady]

LOL Yes. And you did fine. I actually used what you wrote to get it back on track with being a two-book unit. I also revised at least two or three chapters with fresh eyes and they worked much better. So you rock, woman. You are awesome.

Thanks. In January if you want me to look at anything, let me know because in all honesty I know I won't have much time till then but I'll be looking for something to do in the winter!

Oooh. Thanks! I'd like someone to look over the first couple of chapters of a fantasy novel. Let me know if you're interested.

Hallo, hallo!

I'm glad to see you and congrats on getting back into your writing!

I'm glad to see you too! How was the trip with COM? Have fun? I need to go back and see what all you two were up to!

[evil_little_dog]

I have been very bad and not put up much but COM has posted some stuff. :D

The trip was amazing! Ireland really is that green. Wales is fascinating and I wanna go back soooo bad. We saw lots of old (some ruined) churches, a few castles, Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, and a single set of standing stones.

[tinhutlady]

Cool! PLEASE tell me you were inspired to write some things!?!

[perpetual]

That's awesome! And inspiring. Good luck!

[tinhutlady]

Many, many thanks for that. Absolutely love the icon. LOLVery appropriate for both of us.
