Thank you so much! :) She's doing a bit better now, her cough's gone down and her fever's broken, so we're pretty relieved. She and Daddy are out at a local Maple Syrup Festival with friends so that Mummy can catch up with the chores around the apartment and hopefully right this place from its current state of bomb-wreckage-site-itis. ^_^;
BTW, CONGRATULATIONS on the great comments on Ch.10 of CD! :D It looks like it was fantastically fan-received! XD (I can beta Ch. 11 for you whenever you have it ready, now that Ellie's doing a bit better. I'm hoping she'll be back in daycare sometime mid-this-coming-week.)
Good to hear she's out and about and feeling better! (And in a very Homer Simpson fashion-- aaaaarrrrrrgh, maple syrup... *drools*)
As far as chapter 10 goes, I actually started writing it in long-hand (something that seems like such a luxury, as I usually type everything) and am pretty close to finishing it. Since I'm a fairly fast typer, I should have it in your hands sometime soon.
Thanks for the congrats and, of course, thanks for your awesome beta skillz!
I'm here to help any way I can-- it makes me a better/more attentive writer, too! :D
I love writing my stuff out by hand first -- I actually find I get a better 'feel' for things when they're written out in full and then read over them and add little notes like "expand here" or "unnecessary, remove/edit", stuff like that, down on the original paper version. Also, as long as I keep the book out of Ellie's reach, I'm not likely to lose it to being deleted from my computer... (Ellie's quite adept at that one, argh.) ;)
Hope the writing's going well -- looking forward to the next installment! :D
