It’s new-ish. Maybe a couple of months. WordPress won’t let me be on your reader? I’m using WordPress.org on my own url, they should let me on there. *fumes*

Maybe DK should let us post his resume. He’s got a lot of friends, it could get some attention. Maybe the wrong kind, though. lol

Love the new look, but it’s probably not new, I just don’t get here often since you aren’t on my wordpress reader.

Maybe if all us cyberfriends banded together and posted about the many talents the Darc’s possess, someone will find them and offer a dream job.

I think your editing plan sounds very sensible. I did a total of four passes through my novel, and with each one I felt able to work at a deeper level, as the easier bits were corrected or smoothed out. I don’t know ywriter (?). I tried a program years ago called DramaticaPro which helped me get started because it asked a lot of questions that prompted my imagination, though it soon felt restrictive.
So sorry to hear about your friends. These are hard times.

Thanks for checking in with me, Fal. Here’s to a short time away.

You are a dear. A total, absolute, dear. Thank you for your prayers and support. :)

Darc really likes yWriter — there are a few programs out there that might help you. I like one called TextBlock (I think!) and Bryce has one called TextTree which I think you can find on his website, storyhack.com.

You are so close to being done and I’m so proud of you. It’s been a tough journey for you, but you are nearing the end and look at how much richer you are for it!

Also, thank you to everyone here for their thoughts and prayers. Right now I’m piggybacking on someone else’s network and praying they don’t turn it off, lol. Hopefully we’ll be back online soon. :)

I feel so sad for families who, through no fault of their own, are now scrambling to keep food on the table and the rent or mortgage paid. And so much worse for your friends, who are another family on the verge of losing their house. I’ll keep them in my thoughts.

And thanks for the mention of yWrite. I’ll have to try it to outline with. I hate the Word version as it’s way to cludgy.

I’ve been wishing the Darcs well. They’re going through a rough time they don’t deserve. I’m glad to have “met” them (in that internety sort of way).

I’m wishing you well to on your novel. Go!

They’ve definitely been in my prayers as well.

Sorry to hear about your migraine :( I know how down and out those can take you. Luckily, it seems you’ve bounced right back and are ready to tackle the editing on the WIP. I’m right there with you in making it a fun thing rather than a duty.

Can’t wait to read it!
