kais Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Last minute question, but would anyone mind a 6K word chapter? I’ve cut the prologue from 9K to 6 but it’s not likely to get any shorter and it’ll be weird to do it in two installments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C_Vallion Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Can I have a spot for Monday? I think I've made enough changes to Chapter 1 to give it some of the direction and motivation that it was lacking before, but wasn't sure how to deal with submitting this week. I'd like to do some combination of Chapters 1 and 2 (for those who are understandably tired of chapter 1. I know. I am too), but including all of both chapters would push it up near 6-6.5k words, and the first five pages are similar enough to the previous versions that I'm hesitant to make anyone read it again with critiquing in mind. It's trimmed and refocused, but probably not worth having people read too thoroughly a third time through. My thought is to include the last two-thirds of Chapter 1 (a sort of Chapter 1- Part B) plus Chapter 2 to fit the 5k limit, but wasn't sure if that would be weird or confusing? Or if it would make sense to include a "Fully optional, please don't read this if you don't want to read about birds and deities again" file that just has that first third of chapter 1 in it in case anyone wants the extra clarification. As the people who will be doing the reading, does anyone have thoughts on what the most helpful/least confusing way to approach this would be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kais Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 @C_Vallion I think the last two-thirds of chapter 1 plus Chapter 2 would work just fine. We are all familiar enough with chapter one that I think we can follow along. Also using this post to request a slot for the upcoming week, pending space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to read your sub from this past week (because i am a slacker) so you can send me the full revised chapter one if you want me to give you my thoughts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shatteredsmooth Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Can I have a spot for next week please? Asking early to make sure I actually finish the thing I need to submit because I'm on a deadline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
