Caldain

The writing group is currently full up at the moment. But feel free to make your own!

I'm going to have to object to that one. She's obviously a Time Lord, no ifs ands or buts.

Kaladin might be a smart guy but a politician, he isn't. I don't think he understands or cares about the nuances of Lighteye politics. He generally hates the Lighteyes so I don't think he's subscribing to the Kholinar Times

Hey Ookla, Thanks for the interest. Right now we're at four people and I'm currently checking people's temperature to see if we want to add additional members though we are looking to keep things relatively small. We do submissions every Monday night and feedback every Friday night (generally, anyway). I'll probably post something here in the next few days once I hear back from everyone.

So the Stick is clearly a worldhopper, amirite?

Hey Hawk, Mega... Check your emails.

Hey Megalodon, It doesn't look like it, at least with the people that initially were interested. From the email I sent last monday, I only received your reply and Tyson's. So, I think I'm probably going to start removing names from the shared folder and we'll accept one more person to make our number four. If anyone else wants to make a group of their own, more power to them. However, four people is just more manageable than 7 or 8 and its easier to keep a smaller group accountable. I'd rather not wait any longer to get this started. So if anyone from the original group that expressed interest can respond to my email from last week by the end of today, then I'll keep your name on the list and the group will be maxxed out. If not, anyone else that was interested can shoot me an IM today and I'll go on a first come, first serve basis. As to a google hangout, if its possible we can do one depending on people's schedule and time zone, then great. If not, I'm more than happy with some thoughtful and well written comments. Megalodon, if you want to post something now. Feel free to do so and I'd be happy to read it. As long as we get the group of four wrapped up tomorrow, I'm going to set the submission date for next monday night.

Actually, it just occurred to me that with Blackwood, we'd have 8 so we could potentially split into two groups of 4 which would be easier on everyone. I'm not sure how people break out into different time zones but that might be an idea. Lime, do you have a chart of who is in what time zone?

Hey everyone.... I sent out an email on Monday to your gmail accounts so please sound off and let me know that you're still alive Blackwood, sorry I haven't gotten back to you. I keep forgetting to look at my messages but we're already at capacity. But I'm waiting for roll call to make sure that number still stands. If someone drops out for any reason, I'll let you know.

Absolutely this. I went from pleading to the book to crying (manly tears, mind) and dancing around the room. Such a great scene. Also, the Nightblood reveal made me drop my book and go "Holy F". That was such a big surprise.

Odd, still nothing for me on either my PC or phone.

Agreed. I will admit I had some trouble with her voice at first when I started listening to the Wheel of Time Audiobooks but both her and her husband are fantastic. I've heard some bad ones before but Kate Reading is not one of them. And I might be alone but I rather like Pattern's voice

Yeah, I think with seven people we're officially closed on admitting any new members. That shouldn't stop anyone from forming their own, however. Of course, we may have room as we go forward, depending if people want to drop out for whatever reason. I'd like to keep this group going for awhile because I know I could benefit from a writer's group. As far as what stuff to submit...I'm still not sure yet. I'm working on a book currently but its still in the rough draft phase and I'd like to finish it and let it sit before doing anything with it. I have a couple other story ideas that I might use for the writing group and I can knock out 1k words or so in a couple hours so I should be good. It'll be nice to have something to think about other than my novel. But most likely, it'll be a story rather than a collection of little shorts. I think I drove my friends and family nuts last year with all the little random bits i sent them. They'd want more of a particular story and I had already moved on to something else. What can I say? Commitment is hard work

Sorry it took me awhile to respond, it was a crazy weekend. I apparently cannot hold my mead the way I used to. The life of an aged dwarf. Anyway, we have 7 total people for the group. I am still waiting for Hawke to shoot me a message with his gmail account so I can add him to Google Drive. Lime - I appreciate you being the one to tackle the time zones. That stuff always hurts me brain. With Words of Radiance about to destroy our social lives for the next few days (okay week for those who like to take their time reading), do people want to start next week or the week after that? I believe we were looking at a monday or tuesday submission day. Word limit would be 500 to 1000 or perhaps at most 1,500 words? I'd like to make it manageable as to not overload people with too much to read or critique. Thoughts?

Hi Hawke, go ahead and shoot me an IM and I'll add you. We're currently up to seven members now which is great, going to keep this thread going until the end of the week. Depending on how many we get, we might want to split into two groups based on compatiable time zones. But we can revisit that later. Right now, I think, more the merrier.
