Hate them. I find them very distracting, especially when I have to try and decipher what it is they are trying to say. I'd rather *know* they have an accent and let my brain fill in the rest. THIS. My boss has the same opinion, and whenever she edits a book she makes them change the written out dia...

Haha. My goal right now is just to be in the top 10. And I don't want to post just for the sake of posting!

It's gonna be ok! I will echo the sentiments already written. Good Betas/writing groups are hard to find. Don't be afraid to gently say that it isn't working. I know I've had my fair share of those that haven't worked out. Ladieswhocritique.com is another great resource for Betas/crit partners. 8K W...

Wow, Sommer. That's intense.
