king007 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) I have a 4-page scene that I'd like some input on before continuing with the rest of the chapter. Would it be okay if I share it this week along side the other members? I don't want to take anyone's spot though. Edit: After waiting for 24 hours, I'm just gonna go ahead and do it Edit2: I realized i did not wait for 24 hours lol but more like 12 Edited January 19, 2016 by king007 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinski Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Slacker! I was 75% of the way through an edit and realised there were issues I wasn't happy with. Ho hum - darn that quality control ;-p 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't always have a chance to check the threads early in the week. Shrike, king007, smgorden, AuthorityHellas We also have a new member joining us this week, but not sure yet if they want to post right away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormlessFox Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hello, I would like to submit for Monday 2/1 if possible. I have the first chapter of a story I have outlined but I am fleshing out a lot of the details as I write and could really use some input. If I have to wait until next week that is no problem at all. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smgorden Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 The slots are filling up quick, lately. I'll have a submission ready. Count me in, if there's room. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisenheim Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I have story ready to submit that comes in a 6,463. I'd love to submit, and also to take people's temperature on just sending the whole thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormlessFox Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I only have one submission (5k words) and wont have another for some time if the time it took me is any undication. So if someone is consistently submitting and doesnt want to break their momentum I would be happy to wait a week. I havent been critiquing as I felt weird about critisizing the writing of others so I dont want to steal the spot of someone who regularly critiques/submits to the group 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 I havent been critiquing as I felt weird about critisizing the writing of others so I dont want to steal the spot of someone who regularly critiques/submits to the group Critiquing others' writing can feel foreign at first, but it's an important part of the process. Don't worry about feeling "weird" about it--people expect you to do it. It looks to me like that's our five slots for tomorrow: Formlessfox, king007, Shrike76, smgorden, and Eisenheim. Given that it's a full story at that length, Eisenheim, I'd be fine with you submitting the whole thing--assuming those who are most active at the critiquing right now are fine with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my part, I have no problem with that - shame to break something up that clearly is meant to be read in one sitting. One vote 'for'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marci Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hello there! I'd like to put my name in for submission, whenever there may next be a slot available. This will be my first time submitting/participating with the group. I've kind of been hanging back to get a feel for how things work around here. I'm quite a ways into my current novel. Two chapters are in decent enough shape to share, I think. The chapters are long, but split into multiple scenes/sections, so it should be easy enough to feed them to the group in 5K word (or less) increments. If something runs longer, I'll let everyone know ahead of time. Part I of Chapter 1 is just under 4K words. Please let me know where I fall into the queue. I'm nervous, but looking forward to being an active member of the group. Thank you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrike76 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Welcome to Reading Excuses! Have you asked to be added to the distribution list to receive all of the submissions? That would be step one, and then it looks like you're first in line to submit for next week (Monday), but Silk can confirm that when they poke their head back into this thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marci Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Yay, thank you! And, yes, I've been a part of the distribution list for a while now. I've just been keeping a low profile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Yay, thank you! And, yes, I've been a part of the distribution list for a while now. I've just been keeping a low profile. Lol - well that's not going to last much longer Looking forward to reading your stuff, and feel free to jump in and critique everyone around here has pretty thick skin! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
