That was like a "what if" scenario, it won't be Friday unless a bunch of people are like "Friday would be best"

which is why I need to know what would be ideal for everyone

here's a what if scenario for you

also lol at martello trying to shame me about having letters on my keyboard, which i assume matters to some people somewhere, but i'd never associate with those people cause they dumb as fuuuuuuuck

worst part is that i never memorized the f keys or those six stupid keys so sometimes i jab blindly at them hoping it's the right one

i mean obviously i know delete but sometimes the other ones gently caress my brain

however, you overpaid because Das makes awesome mechanical keyboards with or without letters and other cool poo poo and they are only 139

Does anyone wanna swap crits? I can't promise anything very in-depth, but I can read your stuff and point out what I like and dislike and what I think works and what I think doesn't.

I'm down but the only problem is I've written 45k words total and it might be kind of tough for you to crit just the last 5000 this month without reading the stuff that comes before. Some of the chapters I've written in the past are after my current efforts but you have to read about 40k to get to the end of my newest stuff. If you're still interested, let me know and I'll PM you a docs link.

So yeah, did my 5000 words for the month. Definitely keeping this up next month.

53k total by the end of May :toxx:

That's 8000 on top of what I wrote for April.

My ultimate :toxx: is that this novel will be finished, in first draft form, by the birth of my child in the beginning of October.
