I have goodreads but so far its bewildered me and I don't want to sit and fill an entire bookshelf of images that already sit on my actual physical bookshelf.

Re: WIP Playlist share

Charlee, you started off this thread so I have to say...movie scores. Yum! In particular Piano scores. I cannot think of a better mood setter than Desplat, subtle, supple, lovely.

Re: Sold my soul to Twitter

Re: 250 Word Sharathon--post the opening of your WIP

Sladuke, Thank you for sharing your opening. There's really nothing wrong with it as far as setting the situation. But it also feels like we've been here before. And I wonder what makes your story different than others? If this is your first 250 words as a reader I would like something weird or spec...

Re: Hello and How Nice to Meet you All

Welcome! I've only been here a short while myself. Opinion of the week...these forums are less scary to me than Twitter. Also 3/4 of an inch is very important for us short people. I'm 5'3.5" and get very upset when people try to round down.

He continues to ask the same question throughout the beginning of their courtship, knowing it will always get a "no" reply, but once he realizes he actually means it (and would some day like a sincere "yes" from her) he'll stop asking until the time is right. ;) Fantastic. That ...

Re: 250 Word Sharathon--post the opening of your WIP

Aimee,
I enjoyed your opening despite the lacking 500 word confusion. One question I had...does the hyper attention to detail fit your MC? It was wonderful but I found myself wondering how many people take note of cream colored carpet when there's a body on the bed.

I agre with Aimee. I know where the critique forums are. But they just don't seem nearly as useful as the upper sections.
