A rare update on a sucky new years eve

Dec 31, 2006 19:34

So I decided to give an update here for people who do not read my myspace page.

First of all work is going very well. Was recently promoted. I am still taking calls all day, but I am in a very specialized unit that handles strange things, and is licensed in every state. So I have been getting christmas presents in the form of insurance licenses ( Read more... )

The prologue sommelier0124 January 1 2007, 17:02:56 UTC

First thing first, Scott...Frap has highjacked Crissy's account for a minute so there's some crazy bastard with a big nose in your lj post.

Grats on the promotion, I think I've said this before, but I haven't seen you in a while. Could you really be my insurance agent when I move to Point Barrow, Alaska? Sweet. Are you still working until 630 or did your hours change (I forgot)?

GJ on the prologue. I was surprised there was no mecha. Keep writing it! There were 2 editing things that I wanted to point out to you though. Please don't take this the wrong way.

"Most would gladly go back to the simple people they once were once again in the next life"
- In this sentence I would take out one of the once's. I don't think it would matter which one.

Also further down were the dog saved you from the fire did you really mean to say "much of his fire burned away and his breath coming slowly" or his fur burned away?

anyway... want to play some pool next weekend? give me a call.

Congrats on the promotion. Glad to hear the job's going well for you.

I have to say that after reading the prologue I'm intreagued and would like to read more as you write it.

Sorry I didn't check my LJ all week otherwise I'd have told you to spend it at my place. Anyhow, if you happen to be looking for something to do this Thursday night, we're planning on sitting around and playing video games and relaxing. I haven't gotten to hang out with you in way too long and I think we need to rectify that.

thursday sounds like a plan, I will wander over around 8ish!

I was thinking the same thing too.

And as for new years, I ended up going out anyways and had a pretty good time, so no harm-no foul

Hi Scott, I cam across your LJ whilst reading Crissy's friends page,

Congratulations on your promotion, those are always good.

I agree with Jon, I am definatly intrigued by your prologue. I like the general tone of the narrator. The first two paragraphs are very solid. Nice job! I do, however, feel like the tone of the narrator changes in the 3rd and 4th paragraphs and then reverts to the original tone afterwards.

Anyways, I wanted to say hi and very nice job with this piece of writing.

I am glad to see someone else reads like I do! I always look at the "voice" in writing myself.

As for the narrator's voice, that is my pure writing voice... its the non-narrator sections that I need to come up with one for... and I am writing it in the perspective of a woman in this book, always a challenge!

Now to get the ideas for ch 1 on paper(or digital paper at least)
