  1. Lookee what some lovely person sent me! @ClaraKensie lockerz.com/s/213734285
  2. In other news I ate dinner and I don't have to stand in any more bank lines tonight. I am no longer cranky.
  3. Just finished judging a contest. I think that's it for me & work tonight. At least until I inevitably remember later that I'm a workaholic
  4. I'm pretty cranky right now. Standing in my 2nd bank line post work.
  5. Now that I've gotten THAT off my chest I'm emailing a diff author right now to request a full ms. Really loved the partial I read this AM
  6. @andimjulie it's not you
  7. I should WANT to read your full not just want to satisfy my curiosity with it, if that makes sense.
  8. Anyway, I sort of feel compelled to ask for a full that I don't necessarily even want. It makes me feel forced. And kind of, it annoys me.
  9. Obvs I can just ask for a full & then find out wht happens, but as soon as I do the au is going to get her hopes up. I jst wanted the synop.
  10. I hv concerms that I wldn't be able to break it out b/c of the mkt, curious whether she throws an elbow w/the plot. TOO BAD NO SYNOP TO READ
  11. It is in a genre that is pretty saturated in the market. I like the voice and many elements that don't embody this saturated theme
  12. So, after our longass discussion abt synopses I still don't know what to do w/ the ms that prompted my initial comment abt synopsislessness
  13. I asked if there was a way to search for a tweet by someone specific by timeline. Here RT @lainasparetime: snapbird.org
  14. Does anyone know if there is a way to do a search for a tweet by a specific person by date w/o just scrolling forever?
  15. @TrishMcCallan If I am reading a full & let's say it starts to drag, I might read the synopsis to get a sense of when it might pick back up
  16. The water delivery guy just flirted with me. He's really into how I feel about synopses.
  17. @Miss_Nesha84 Yes
  18. @Scorpedo It wld be the story tht I didn't like then, right? & I wldn't ask 4 more b/c I wldn't be the rt agnt. The synop saved us both time
  19. Did I really just blather on about synopses for an hour?
