Inky, I was giving a chance for the others to respond with their thoughts. I certainly didn't mean to ignore your question. The answer is: Shouldn't be a problem. Submit what you need help with or want feedback on at the time, regardless of what you've submitted previously. It wouldn't even have to be the opening chapters.
If anyone does submit non-opening chapters, you may wish to give us a short description of what's come before, though. |

I received a question through the European crit circle. I have not laid down a lot of prerequisites for participating and don't intend to do so, but you do have to be a registered member of AW to join in. You can have one post and no more, that's fine, but if you want to participate in any of the crit circles using AW's resources, you must first register with AW.

The chat room was created yesterday and all sorted out. I've given Lori the info (the room is called AWCritCircle) and the passwords and directions of how to get in. As I don't know who has signed up I will let Lori sort out sending the passwords out for all of you. I'll also plant myself in there later (probably after 11:30pm GMT) if anyone wants to practice gtting in, then, if any problems you can PM me and I'll try and sort them out.

I understand, but the best I could give is a list of everyone who has registered. I'm not really keeping track of everyone's schedules or asking everyone to report who will and will not be there. That would be micromanaging and the death of me. Plus, you're all adults. You know what your priorities are. |

Birol, I'm currently with the European group. So, you can remove me from your list.

oh, and make sure you type the password/key correct as a few have had problems.
It's birolsangels not birolsangles. I'll give reps for those who can tell me the difference

Ok, it seems I'm going to run about 20-30 min late since I get off of work at the time this starts.

Ready here. I'll have some other people around at 9, but they're used to my computer appearing at odd times. Notes typed up and everything.
The 350-character limit helps with concise writing!

I hate to be a pooper, but I won't be able to make it tonight. I have comments ready for Shea, though. I'll PM her and ask how she'd prefer to handle it, unless you have a protocol you'd prefer to follow, Lori.
Sorry to bail so late in the game. I plan on making the next one, so don't drop me yet, please!
