I know! that's what I said ---

Hmmm... I'm always wondering how is it possible that people are still using IE. Anyway, I'm glad it's help for both of you. Also here is an advise: if it's slowing down, clear it's browsing cache sometimes (Ctrl+Shift+Del and in the menu check the desired part that you'd like the clear), because as the time is passing the cache will store some data from the websites that you visited before. Clear it sometimes, once in a month. It will help if it's slowing down a bit.

Have a nice browsing.

Thanks, I'm fine. Finally I was able to make some progress in my novel's last chapter.

What about you? How your horror project is going?

BTW. I like your new avatar. The proud mommy and her wonderful and beauty kiddo. Lovely!

Cella · 10-25-2009, 07:00 AM

aww, you're sweet

Thanks....

It's coming along....I'm about to make a few revisions and send it to a coupla people to tell me what their thoughts are...that's always nerve wracking....no matter how nice I think they'll be.

Getting that last chapter done is tough. I get nervous because I'm worried about getting it right, then again, I just want to be done with it too....

Freelancer · 10-25-2009, 07:08 AM

Don't be nervous and everything will be fine. Trust in yourself a bit.

Well, if you need an "unfriendly" and "tough" review in the future... well, you know where you can find me. I'm used to be the opposite and that's how my writer friends knows me. I'm always cruel and always telling my... well, honest opinion to point out mistakes, detail problems, etc, etc... regardless how much does it hurt sometimes. But as they used to say, it's always helping them.

Yes, especially if you need to tie up more then 1000 pages of sub-stories and the main arc from the previous and the upcoming chapters as the "last" chapter is not the last chapter in the novel, but it's around the middle-end of it as the last ones are done a long time ago. It's my bad habit and this is my curse. And now, my curse reached me.

It's strange, as I am quite sensitive, but I'm easy to crit for. I don't equate criticism with insults, unless they're aimed at me, rather than my writing.

I can take a rough crit about bad sentence structure, poor grammar, plot holes, etc., but the worst for me is if someone says my IDEA was bad. And that, really is purely opinion--unlike all those "rules".

There is no bad idea, just bad execution. Also, as English isn't my native language, I'm the last one who can criticize anyone's grammar.

You're not sensitive if you already know the difference between the two as... explanation below...

That's a different story. In that case you have the right to scratch out the person's eyes and call it as a righteous self defense.

I like to think I'm a nicer person than that

If I ask for someone's opinion I need to be prepared to take it, whatever it is. If it's unsolicited....there may be a bit of scratching that comes that, then, lol.

when do you think you'll be done with your MS?

MS? My WIP? Good question. I wanted to finish it last year's summer.

But I guess it will be ready around the mid of November, then it's up to my co-writer / editor to finalize it and in the meantime I'm going to start the illustrations for it.

Cella · 10-25-2009, 07:33 AM

So, how do you illustrate a project like that?

Well, I'm also a graphic artist. Not an extremely pro, but I can do what is necessary. If you check the website in my signature, that's my WIP, all the draws were created by me. Now the illustrations will be similar, just in black and white and as it's a unique world, plus the illustrations are connecting the story, I'm the only one who knows how these things should really look like.

Cella · 10-25-2009, 07:38 AM

But, will there be pictures all throughout the book? Or only on like glossy pages in the middle, as I've seen before?

(I'm listening to your music from the website now

it's amazing! Inspiring for horror, too! which I need)

They'll be at the very last pages, around 24 full page illustrations, right after the story ends. When the reader reaches the end to the story, they'll understand why I put them there.

your art is really neat too! My favorite is the one with the girl looking at her reflection in the water.

Thanks. That one was one of the hardest. But as I finish the novel itself, there will be more. Now, I gotta go. It's 3.15am. I should sleep a bit.

Have a good night and sleep and dream well.

Cella · 10-25-2009, 07:46 AM

good, can't wait to see them

If you get a .wav file of a toilet flushing, then yes. yes you can.

If I remember it right, its only about five commands. You can google it and it'll tell you step by step how.
