I don't think I should have to give kids candy if they don't even bother to put on a Halloween costume. >:( Kids these days, don't they know all the hard work and dedication we used to make our parents put in for a little free candy? No respect, I'm telling you, none at all.

Honestly, the only kind of beta work I feel comfortable DOING is grammar cleanup. I crit writing for a living so betaing like *that*--commenting on plot/characterization, etc-- is too much like work!
So if you need a grammar beta and nothing more, feel free to hit me up. (And let me know if you want me to give you a list of goofs or just go ahead and fix 'em all for you.)

Oh, I am glad to hear that! :D I'm much more comfortable commenting on grammar when I do beta work for other people just because I don't feel right questioning plot decisions that other people have thought up, especially something that it'd take a long time to change. And thank you so much for your offer; I really appreciate that. :)

Dude we barely got any. The city and everything does all these stupid Halloween functions and like, trick-or-treating events and ruins trick-or-treating for neighborhoods. >:| what the fuck is "trunk-or-treat". I DON'T CARE GETTING CANDY FROM THE BACKS OF CARS IS RETARDED.
> Anyone else have days like that, and any advice on how to get over them?
:| Good question and I would like advice on kicking that shit because I swear to god I hate everything I make what the fuck.
> ... but I feel like that's being really stuck-up, like "oh my stories are perfectly plotted there's nothing you could possibly do to make them better".No, I think that's fine. o^o I mean, you don't always want to have to chop up something you've written, you just want to polish it a bit. Not everything has to be broken down bit by bit and re-done for BETTER BECAUSE BETTER. it can be a bit disheartening, especially when you're just writing because you enjoy it or whatever. o^o I prefer just haing a ( ... )

Ugh, I know the feeling. Usually I'm okay with what I write after I write it, but sometimes I just re-read it and think about how it should have been better and how I'm not accomplishing anything, etc. And pretty much everything I draw I hate as soon as it's finished. Bleh.
Not everything has to be broken down bit by bit and re-done for BETTER BECAUSE BETTER.You know, I hadn't thought of it that way. I'm always convinced that what I put out there has to be THE BEST POSSIBLE ALWAYS, because ( ... )

also, remember. periods and commas are the salt and pepper of your literary dish.

I am so terribly nitpicky about commas. I need to quit doing that; it's so much unnecessary stress. :(

2) They didn't even wear costumes? Dude, costumes are the best part. I can't believe they weren't wearing costumes.
3) Not just employees, either. :/ But ANYWAY, that's not where you're working, so yay for that, and double yay for potential employment! =D

2. I know! What exactly is the point of Halloween if you don't even dress up? And it's not like a ten-year-old normally has to buy their own candy or anything, so even the "free candy" excuse doesn't hold up. NO EFFORT I tell you. Harumph.
3. It would not surprise me if shoppers had been killed as well. How's that for peace on earth and goodwill to men. :( And yaay, thank you! I just really like the idea that I'll be doing something, you know? Plus then paying for parking won't be as much of a steady drain on my savings.
