Don't bug me! I've done everything Ebony has asked of me! I always try to turn beta-reading around quickly because i know the author is waiting for a response.
But yes, the couple of things I've seen that haven't been posted yet are terrific!

My friend who was going to read for me just gave me back my story.
She says she does not have time. (I wonder if I pushed too hard? She had it for two weeks but .....) So now I am wondering what to do.
Post with the tense errors I think I have, or leave my story until I can find someone else to read it.

Since school/work started I have been staying up much later than usual when I work. Today I nearly fell asleep

I am hoping as work life settles, in a few more weeks, I will find time for everything and not have to spend as many late nights as I have recently.

Originally posted by Transmute Jun Have you been neglecting your DH or has he been neglecting YOU???

I think I got too angsty in my story...it is hard to write at times when it gets to that real angsty point. The only thing that stops me from changing the plot at that point is because it adds so much more impact in the later chapters that are good things...and a reason to try and change it all..oh well it IS a time travel ficcie after all, and so much more to come...

Not in our hose either. But when I'm out of the house, such as waiting around for the kids somewhere, or on vaca or on a plane... the pad of paper comes with me!

ITA about the romantic stuff though. Swoony stuff is easier than really romantic stuff, and the smut is soooo hard...... But Angst is the worst.
Somehow, the joking banter and the action come most easily to me. I don't know why...

We can not have the Gatchamania fic if all the characters are dead.

Originally posted by Tengu just read lightning and I quite liked it. you need to break it up better, switching from scene to scene is confusingThanks Tengu! It was hard to write that part with so much happening in it, but I'll take your feed back into account.But I'm not sure how to do it and keep the effect of what was going on in in parts that had connections,especially during the mission, and towards the end of the first part..mmm...well I'll just have to do more to practice! (I worked on those parts a fair bit with my beta reader to try and keep the impact, but not make it confusing...) The better version of it was put into F.Fiction. I couldn't change anything I found later on in Clubhouse without messing it all up! Maybe I just have to spread things out and not have them happen all in the one day! LOL Well the next part has a lot less of that scene switching in it, it changes tone in Part 2...But then I like to experiment and the books I read change scenes a lot because of the plots. Maybe that is reflecting here. Anyway! Thanks for taking the time to read it so far.

I can see as we get together more, we will get less and less work done. We ended up talking about fics until well after the children left.

Yes, Tim, SJ, Yuki, Cricket, Kimi, and I all live within an hour of each other. If you travel on the highways.
Cricket and I are probably the closest geographically, I think, but I would be driving secondary roads to get to her.

(If it happens, Cloud is a little nervous for tomorrow.)Now for Clouds surprise. I did not get a Condor in my Classroom today. I got another Eagle loving Swan. I met Yuki face to face today. Some of you may recognize her name from the Clubhouse site. She was training to be a teacher before Christmas. Now that she has finished she has agreed to visit me in my classroom occasionally, until she can find a permanent position. So today we had a Swan and and Owl running my class. and much fewer problems, Although that may have been because I was distracted talking Gatch instead of helping and watching the children.

Great chapter Ebony.
So is Ken going to go to the orphanage and meet Jinpei now, in the next chapter?
For a moment, I thought maybe Ken was going to meet Juns mother, just like he met Joe's father, and then Ken would be able to tell Jun her real last name.
