Yeah, it's a really wonderful medium. It's a great exercise for me because it refines my lyric-writing quite a bit. I tend to sell short lyrics because I feel like there's so little that can be said, but a drabble is even shorter, so I have no excuse not to pack lyrics to their full capacity.
Plus, I just like the drabbles, because there's no intimidation factor. 100 words? Why sure, I can do that. And then of course it's much harder than I imagined, but there I am, writing, and it's off to the races.
erika - Just letting you know I haven't forgotten you and I am betaing your stuff. Just been busy.
Oh, well, hurry... don't wanna disappoint my fan.
It's okay...really need to temper my feedback junkie ways.
I'm looking for a beta reader or two who's willing to take a look at my WIP. It's still rough and 150-200 pages from being finished (it's around 300 pages now), so I'm looking for big picture stuff--i.e. do the characters and story pretty much work, and if not, what might make them work better.
Given the market I'm targeting, I'm looking for a beta who enjoys military historicals and/or historical fantasy, just to make sure I'm hitting that Bernard Cornwell-Patrick O'Brian-Naomi Novik sweet spot.

The new prompt is medium.
Susan, the email link in your profile doesn't seem to be working...
I just fixed it. It should be susansw AT gmail DOT com
Next thread title, can we have "The Great Write Way, Act Four: Where's the gin?", because that's what I've been reading in Message Center for a while now.
And in real life.
Nonsense. A writer always knows where the gin is.
