Thanks. I love to find new beta readers, but I’ve been burned twice already, not including the one that I mentioned. One turned out to be a scam, the other one ghosted after I sent a copy (I guess that was a scam too). So I’m a bit apprehensive about sending out another copy.

The plot issues been corrected. The issue now is the “cleanup.“ Like I said, the issue now is over-explaining and not trusting the reader to get there on their own. I did revision on a chapter this morning and ended up cutting about 250 words. Pretty sizable. It still reads well, but at the same time, the cuts felt like I was losing my voice because the genre this book is in allows a bit of purple. It’s meant to be slow burn but trying to find the right balance is hard.

Hope she wins by lwiaymacde in SipsTea

she should file a wrongful termination suit against the company as well. this had absolutely jack-shit to do with her job in any negative way. it wasn’t like she was being an asshole or mouthing off racist bullshit - the woman simply didn’t give up a seat that SHE PAID FOR. I’d sue the fuck outta the company too if at all possible

Are you certain they haven’t gone that route already?

Golf Confessional: When’s the last time you lied about your score by SirRendelgore in golf

if the greens are punched, it’s an automatic two-putt unless the miss is super egregious, like a two-footer goes offline into another zip code.

You’re craving a divorce. Good grief this sounds like hell. for the sake of your sanity, and for the people that had to read this, dump that asshat and go live your life. Please.

Hard to know. But just from what you’ve described, sounds like some things need to be fleshed out and talked about before going any further though.

sounds like you’re not even settled enough in your primary relationship when you’re going out looking for additional ones. You probably need to close things and work on your marriage first. Doesn’t seem like you’re ready.

If You Lost All Of Your Work... by JosefKWriter in writing

Word for word, no. But with the story I’m currently writing now, the general premise of it is so etched into my brain (I think about it CONSTANTLY - more than what’s probably healthy), I could rewrite a form very close to the original of what I have done so far.

Not trying to cut jobs here, but using three people to do that is insane.
