Hi Shaun
I've made it to no 20 and I'm looking for some support to take me nearer the coveted ED. If you would like to support Mary's Magic Muffins & Other Tales for Children for a while I'd be extremely grateful. I return all reads with an honest feedback, as I think it is better to be honest. If you'd like to read swap let me know. I will be on authonomy here for a long time and will support those who have helped me. Thank you for taking the time to read this message. Hope to hear from you soon.
Brian.

I'm glad to hear that things are otherwise looking up for you, after such a hard breakup. Even if you haven't been together much, it's still an emotional wrench to separate two lives.

It's very wise to not look for someone else yet. You need months, perhaps even a year, to grieve something lost; you certainly don't want to take anyone on the rebound, when you're dealing with too many diverse emotions. You can spend the time concentrating on college classes, volunteering, working on art and writing, and making friends.

I've never been married, and not even in a real "committed relationship", or anything of that sort; but there was one guy a few years ago who'd expressed a bit of interest in me, and I fell for him--hard. I don't really think I've gotten over it yet. I've got lots of guy friends, but no one I've ever felt the same about. And yet it's been great for my writing and music. There are parts within our souls, I think, that never quite develop fully without love and loss. I don't think I'd have made it through some of the great loneliness without my faith in God, though.

I'm so glad to hear that you're giving church a chance again, and I hope you find one whose people don't let you down. I'm praying! :)

Hey, Shaun, I'm SO, SO sorry! I'll definitely pray for you, and if you don't mind I will add you to my church's prayer list also.

I couldn't respond to your last message because of the load of paperwork for getting hired this summer...I was up a creek with a partially broken computer and a dead laptop, and my week ended with lots of symphony practices and a season finale concert.

I'll have my mom pray for you, too!

Thank you for your comments, it would seem that I have uploaded the wrong version. I will check it out. Many thanks for your time Ray

Dear Shaun,
Thanks for taking the time to look at The Path to Survival, much appreciated .

Hi Shaun,
I have just found your thread, Anyone want a free edit. If you do have the time, I would be very grateful if you could take a look at Still Waters.
Any editing help would be fantastic.

Many thanks,

Thanks for the thoughtful crit, Shaun. Much appreciated. You're not the first to mention the over-use of Levi's name...also others have had a problem with the name itself. So then, much editing will be due in that regard on the re-write.

Thanks again. I'll put you on my WL.

Best,

E

hey,
That would be really cool, if you could do like any chapter of mine,
even the shortest.
I'd like to see, what a good writer does with it...

Shaun,
You might want to click on to www.scribd.com/dloganw whereby David Welch interviews me regarding the North Korean situation in "Nuts in the North." This could be a good venue for your book to get Twitter exposure.

Hello, my name is James Revino. I am the author of ‘Hollow.’ I was wondering if you might be able to take a look at my work and tell me what you think, good and bad. Any critique would be much appreciated, it is the best way to improve. Of course, if you enjoyed it, a backing would be great as well. Have a good day, and thanks for your time.

Thank you so much for the backing! Things have been crazy for me, and I've been meaning to email...
Great news, though...a friend on GoodReads asked to to write a guest book review for her blog, so I've been working hard on that. And I managed to get a summer job in Asheville, NC.
How's it going for you?

Hi Shaun,

You very kindly commented on An Ill Wind for me, and the book is much, much better for the comments I have received on this site. I am very grateful to everyone who has given me feedback and have self-published both An Ill Wind and its sequel, Dead Reckoning.

I am now looking for people to review Dead Reckoning on Amazon and Goodreads and wonder if you would be interested? If so, I will send you a free ebook, and would of course be happy to review your book when it is published.

If you are interested, my email is publishing@lionheartgalleries.co.uk and if you let me know whether you would prefer a mobi (kindle) file, epub or pdf I will send this to you.

Thank you very much,

Karen

Hi Shaun!

Thanks so much for putting Catch My Breath on your shelf. It's greatly appreciated. Feel free to leave a comment if you'd like to tell me what you liked, think needs improvement, etc. =)

Take care,
Lynn

Hey Shaun!
Thank you for adding Sapphire to your shelf! It is greatly appreciated!

Hi Shaun, thank you for backing Ebo! I truly appreciate it. :)

Thanks so much for the backing, fellow political junkie!

hiya Shaun, i like your idea about starting with the J captain. let me know when you're ready for a re-read. best, a

hiya Shaun, i took my more pointed feedback off your wall. it seems some people don't like critiques on their wall. i'm not sure if you care, so i edited my comments and am sending this as a message.

i have a very picky thought that may strike a chord. if not, pls ignore. as ever, take what works and toss the rest ;) maybe rework some adjectives/phrases? just a minor thought.

1st para:

'resilient' - not sure reader needs this.

'ugly head' - maybe just 'head'

'upset the stomachs' - seems a bit off. maybe stronger words? maybe the sailors were hurling their last meal, or something like that.

best wishes, a

hiya Shaun, i'll be reading you tomorrow. best, andy
