"Lep drew the winds behind him like a theater’s curtain and was gone."

Lep the hyper-villain must be proportionally as dramatic. Found this gem while making edits from #betareader feedback.

Ch. 04: Angel's little trees - 4000 Years of Summer β€œI’m sending her in,” the professor announced. Hayley's back was to the pair as they performed maintenance on the autorobota in the warehouse. Her attention was fixed, or rather, appeared to be fixe...

I know y'all thankfully didn't notice, but I def forgot to post Ch4 of #4000yearsofsummer .. I'm very bad at making routine posts.

I cannot afford pro rates, b2b sales need not apply.

I will gladly do trades. My "notes" are usually a few pages worth, I'm not the best and I dont expect pro work. Just a chill swap :)

#WarpDriveIntoLove needs a beta reader or few.

This #militaryscifi #darkromance pits Capt Emma Stone against a bizarre and hostile universe as she juggles her orders with her conscious.

The task itself is simple: tell me what you think, and let me know if you find clunky wordings or typos.

I appreciate that πŸ™

I mean, if you want another taste, this was a beta read for #WarpDriveIntoLove, and #militaryscifi #darkromance novel :)

Im like, maybe on the low end of intermediate at writing lol , but I appreciate the thought.

Im not even mad, just sad and confused.

I feel I did a similar job, gave a similar amount and quality of feedback and was probably a bit less critical of the manuscript.

But thats *my* perception. I'd have rather had a conversation about it than catch a block :(

Like, bruh, at least finish my book first. Light me up, be mean about it. I got called racist and lazy by a beta for book2; I can take it lol

I just finished a beta read trade with another author who appeared excited about my book.

A couple hours later and I'm blocked. Was my book that bad? Was my feedback too honest? Is this a new kind of scam I'm not aware of?

I can't afford professional betas :/ so maybe I just dont have them?

Ive read a few internet stories that started this way and ended with a diagnosis.

If you can, tell a doctor "it hurts/aches/stings/whatever" and see if they'll do imaging.

Oh and every one of Hayley's follies is from a universe that almost became its own book. Especially ch11.

And could be, given reader feedback.

Most of them are "done" as far as writing. Im waiting for editors and artists now.

#4000yearsofsummer is a fun side project while I get books 2, 3, and 4 published.. and book1 quietly released for free cuz its trash.

β€œSince this is the last letter, I guess this is it. Get your stuff together and I'll see you in like an hour, my time.”
Hayley couldn't believe it.  The last letter. She thought she had many more to go. 
β€œWait.” she said to the scroll.  
β€œSee you soon!”
β€œWhen?!” Hayley said to the scroll.  He did not mention when this was to take place in her time. She had no recollection. She saw so many worlds, so many slices of the ultramundus, but lost track of her real self.  Her follies took over and now she was clueless to a real event.
β€œYours, Lee”
β€œNo, no no no!” she said, looking at the scroll and its cylinder casing over and over looking for a clue.

Time is up for Hayley. What will await her upon her reunion with Lee?

Except the X gene and it the mutations,

I used yWriter to write, LibreOffice to edit. yWriter has a ton of organizational features, most of which i dont use, but as far as outlining and scene organizing, im very happy with it πŸ˜€
