Aminar:
Still averaging that 1500 words a day of writing and I've come up with two fairly decent short story ideas. One based on a Sonata Arctica Song and One based on A Star Trek episode-specifically related to a casting choice and one of the actors other roles(although the story has a little bit to much sexual exploration for me.)

(I do not mean to suggest I am actually parsing it as such, it just gave me an amusing moment.)

what a riot and NO that was not my intent, only your dedication to cranking out the words!

I'll let you know, but it's at that 'just get it down and stop editing.' I'm enjoying re-reading it too much while editing and not progressing like I should.

ARGH! One of my Beta readers just gave my book to his mom... Normally I wouldn't care, but she was my eigth grade reading teacher and argh... Had to vent. I'd have preferred to wait until I was published to let her read it... If then. Now I'm nervous like its getting graded. :(

You have my sympathies Aminar - because you probably will get graded. ???
I think you need to have a long talk with that Beta. You don't pass on writing unless the author says
so.
Aminar:
Yeah... I doubt he thought much past the fact his mom is almost as much a friend as he is... And we've known eachother for 16 years now... Since we were 10.
