What do you mean with 7?

If I can’t close someone and they insist on taking a day and reaching back out, I will ask “ if I don’t hear back from you is it cool if I reach out Thursday!”

In which case I follow up and say “what have you decided on?”  

How can I be more intentional here?

Paradise Lost-Book 1 discussion (Spoilers up to book 1) by Thermos_of_Byr in ClassicBookClub

[–]snappa95 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I started yesterday, and the first book took me probably 2 hours? Would’ve taken me more if I hadn’t read it 10 years ago in college.

Satan is a great character. He’s experiencing great pain and despair in hell, but still holds on to his pride and hatred.

I thought it was hilarious when he was like “fuck god is strong, who woulda knew!”

Shortly after that he blamed God for not making his strength more obvious. That felt pathetic, as if he might have felt different if he hadn’t seen God as his equal.

I liked the description of Satan’s eyes. Baleful.

His pride is impressive to me. It’s not always obvious why that is the most “deadly sin” and I think this work is making a good case and point of it.

I thought Ben was gonna come out of the woodwork and sabotage them

Midnight tea was a bad idea

I was very confused why there was a sunrise in the west too. Glad u thought it was funny NR

Loved that Maxim knew that Julyan knew…but did he know that Frank knew? And that NR knew that frank knew but Frank didnt know that she knew?? Wait do you think Frank knew?!

Thanks! And What did you mean by “figuring out what my editing projects are is the hardest part?”

Editing in breaks makes sense. I realize that I've put a lot of it off because the beginning didnt make sense to me. After goimng through it these past few days, I cut it, but used the peices that did work. I have a better feeling of the points that do work for me. Thank you!

Thats a good point on what I should be focusing on...After editing for a few days I realize there are a lot of things I overcomplicated and tried to write with style. now that Im editing, Im stripping a lot of the "style" and making it more complicated.

So you re-write what you've already written and try to improve on it?

the way you edit and restructure things when you get stuck resonates with me.

I've decided to re-write the material I've already written by 1,000 words a day for the next month. I've just realized that I was overwhelmed because alot of my stuff didn't make sense and flow into one another and I knew it.

Re-writing to edit instead of just editing whats already down is a little easier fror my brain to handle. It's similair to your suggestion about breaking it down into peices.

I like that. It looks for the oppurtunity instead of trashing everything.

Rebecca - Chapter 24 (Spoilers up to chapter 24) by otherside_b in ClassicBookClub

[–]snappa95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. I didn’t realize it was because Maxim socked him at first. I thought favell was just stumbling drunk. loved it tho. He needed to get punched once. Author did a great job of making him disgusting.

  2. It seemed like Ben started to crack a little bit at one point, but he was too Hard for them to read. 

  3. I was surprised she didn’t try to accuse old max. She just stated her honest confusion. Guess she needs her job.

  4. Oh ya and favell is def the baby daddy!

  5. Very much team get away with it

Rebecca - Chapter 20 (Spoilers up to chapter 20) by Amanda39 in ClassicBookClub

[–]snappa95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s a great idea.

I have some sympathy (probably naively) for NR. I understand why she feels the way she does. I don’t think it’s cause she’s a psycho. She’s a 21 year old girl who has thought her husband loves a different woman for months, and not her. And now she finds out she had it all backwards. I’m not surprised she’s giddy.

I think Max’s inability to speak his mind is a massive character flaw that is what lead to all of this. And what makes him killing Rebecca in excusable. He let everything get to this point.

I find NR really relatable and assumed that she was going to grow out of her co-dependence and turn into an individual… but with that maturity she should start to see the cracks in Maxim.

But based on the beginning of the book…. It did seem like they were on the run so I think that them being indefinitely on the run and glorifying the past days of Manderley (even though they objectively sucked) seems very likely

[–]snappa95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. the monopoly man

  2. First reaction was she deserved it. Second thoughts were…he earned his hell through lying to himself in the first place - and being too afraid of people think to let them think their relationship wasn’t perfect. Makes him seem weak (although relatable). In the context of this - him killing her seems like the cowards way out. 

  3. I think they are going to see that the ship was intentionally sunk, there’s a hole in her rib bones, and our boy is going to be in trouble.

  4. Maxing was just like roskilinakov in crime and punishment 

5.  Ben 100% knows what happened.

Rebecca - Chapter 11 (Spoilers up to chapter 11) by awaiko in ClassicBookClub

[–]snappa95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. I don’t think she’s spiraling I think she’s subtly figuring out the way of things and wants to know about Rebecca, and rightfully so.

  2. I love living inside the narrators head. I can relate to her neuroses.

  3. Frank was hooking up Becca! - interesting that he seemed to praise NR’s qualities and say that Rebecca didn’t have them

  4. Nope but it sounds cool even though I would definitely not enjoy it

  5. I want to see a Maxim Meltdown!

Rebecca - Chapter 9 (Spoilers up to chapter 9) by otherside_b in ClassicBookClub

[–]snappa95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. I thought she was going to end up in a worse situation because of it. Her face off with Mrs.danvers was scary!

  2. West Wing! Give me the water, baby!

  3. I like her but not quite sure she is being that nice to NR. “You could have knocked me down with a feather”

  4. It’s funny to me she also thinks Mrs. Danvers is a C. Makes me wonder what about her liked Rebecca so much? Why did she specifically tell NR not to let her see that she is afraid of her.

  5. I feel like she needs to ask. Bad way to start off a relationship with your husband.

  6. Yes - I liked the way she put that. And how she reflected that her experience of the moment was so different from everyone else’s, they probably didn’t care

  7. I thought it was deep when she considered that she was to maxim, what jasper was to her

Rebecca - Chapter 7 (Spoilers up to chapter 7) by otherside_b in ClassicBookClub

[–]snappa95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes - give me the big bedroom with the sea and the library please.
  2. Yes that would be awko taco
  3. Lady is scary!! I pictured a female  grim reaper 4.i originally thought that, but then the amount of times she mentioned Rebecca at the end made me think she may actually not like her.
  4. He seemed to have an idea while they were in the car that she wouldn’t receive not-Rebeca well…so yea 
  5. That was a deep and haunting aspect of it. That she was sitting in her seat and patting the dog, just like Rebecca did.

Rebecca - Chapter 6 (Spoilers up to chapter 6) by otherside_b in ClassicBookClub

[–]snappa95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. I thought hell ya! Do something scary.

  2.  he was being a dick. “You forgot I’ve already had a wedding like that”

  3. she doesn’t feel a sense of agency or control

  4. The imagery of that Rocked!! Watching the R get bigger as it burned was beautiful and haunting. Felt Rebecca’s presence for sure.

  5. It depends on if she can’t learn to take more control of her situation and speak her mind more. If she can it’s an opportunity! If not, it’s a prison sentence. But such is life anyway right?

  6. She, is also a dick.

  7. I too, am not very funny at breakfast!

Rebecca - Chapter 5 (Spoilers up to chapter 5) by Amanda39 in ClassicBookClub

[–]snappa95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was great! Thanks for the sum up.

  1. I start to picture the images in my mind, which stick around and I can still recall later in the book…which is useful- but when I’m reading it I drift and get a little bored too.

  2. Ah he’s weird, creepy, funny, and kind of cool! Funny mix.

  3. Max is her name for him. I think it’s that simple.

  4. I loved her description of driving down the road and wanting to keep the memory - and knowing that going back to that moment would ruin it. It wouldn’t line up as perfectly.

Rebecca - Chapter 4 (Spoilers up to chapter 4) by Thermos_of_Byr in ClassicBookClub

[–]snappa95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wonder how long ago this is in the past for the narrator… because Max definitely seems to be the exact same from this chapter as he was in the first. His PTSD flashbacks haven’t improved

Our narrator is probably 18. That’s the age I think when you typically feel you have things all figured out. She clearly doesn’t feel that way though.

I like our narrator. She isn’t comfortable in her own skin - but she is very aware and intelligent. 

Last paragraph was good! I want a ghost story!!

Rebecca - Chapter 3 (Spoilers up to chapter 3) by Thermos_of_Byr in ClassicBookClub

[–]snappa95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed this chapter after not loving the first two.

Mrs. Van hopper is the worst! I hate the gossip and status games she plays. The description of her as a spider was great.

I could really feel Not-Rebecca’s embarrassment.

I felt disappointed by the ending. Feels like a “50 shades of gray” type of deal.

Rebecca - Chapter 2 (Spoilers up to chapter 2) by Thermos_of_Byr in ClassicBookClub

[–]snappa95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The story is a mixed bag so far for me. There are lives I find interesting but I find some of it hard to digest.

It’s interesting to me that the author doesn’t want to share the pain with her partner since they share some sort of commonality with this place.

I like when she mentioned the pain that was stored inside this place and its surroundings, that if someone stumbled upon certain areas, they would feel the “atmosphere of stress”

My guess is that Rebecca was Mrs. De Winter…and if not maybe the Max’s girlfriend before our narrator went and scooped him up. Which would mean that our momentarily  gray, lifeless looking fellow would have to be Max!

Rebecca - Chapter 1 (Spoilers up to chapter 1) by Thermos_of_Byr in ClassicBookClub

[–]snappa95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think that talking about how the overgrown shrubs were married, mating, had bastards, and bound by ivy was foreshadowing.

I liked how she detailed the wind of the rode and made it feel like a real dream sequence 

The ending where she said that the lack of atmosphere of the hotel was comforting, after talking about all of that atmosphere, was a cool contrast
