My wife, as awesome as she is, is having a few problems with me and my book. Jun 02 05:03:07 2016 <Lucifer_arma> See, I have a hard copy here in the house, and a little over a week ago, I laid it out and said "I need this read!" Both her and my step-daughter promised to read it. Jun 02 05:03:54 2016 <Lucifer_arma> Then they didn't touch it. For a week. now, a week's not a long period of time, but I figured that if, in seven days, they didn't find time to read it, and I wanted to publish it in three weeks, then, maybe I should get someone else to help Jun 02 05:04:24 2016 <Lucifer_arma> Hence my post. And I'm very happy for the help I'm getting, and definitely don't stop that. It's awesome, I feel like my book is getting better because of it. Jun 02 05:05:14 2016 <Lucifer_arma> So we're talking tonight about it, and I can see my wife is having some trouble with it. Like, on some level, she's disappointed she didn't offer the editing I asked for, but she won't talk trash about the editing I'm getting. Jun 02 05:05:22 2016 <Lucifer_arma> So, hard situation for her. Jun 02 05:06:07 2016 <Lucifer_arma> Of course, it wouldn't be so hard if she'd had started reading around the time when I said "I need this read". But she's read the rough draft. She read it as I was writing it, so she's already well familiar with the story. Jun 02 05:06:48 2016 <Lucifer_arma> (when I wrote the rough draft of the sex scene, she read it as I wrote it, literally over my shoulder, and then we screwed, and that's how it was half-written originally) Jun 02 05:07:43 2016 <Lucifer_arma> But now, I have an email from Word, and another one from Convict, both with edits I need to take a serious look at. And she's upset about that. Jun 02 05:08:31 2016 <Lucifer_arma> Not necessarily about the emails, more about the part where I have to pay attention to them. But that's what I asked for, and she knows I asked for that from her and she hasn't delivered. (for the record, she didn't agree to deliver anything) Jun 02 05:08:45 2016 <Lucifer_arma> So, interesting situation. Jun 02 05:09:11 2016 <Lucifer_arma> And I'm dumping here because I find it so interesting, and I'm sure people here will have plenty to say, if they care enough to say anything.
