Petriesan: almost done with the first set of edits after collecting notes from first readers. I had forgotten how hard it is to do that. I have now read the book four times and with any luck will send it to a copy editor within a week and get ready to start marketing it... |

Petriesan: oddity of the day: two chapters are at the 1st and 2nd spot today?unusual and not likely to last another 24 hours. (Actually, the first time at either spot too. . .I never use that many points, just a fluke |

Petriesan: just a little over three weeks in, two pieces "all time best", which, I think means it got a lot of ratings without too many fours... eye opening so far. SOme of the pieces I loved get so-so welcomes. . .and the ones I was not sure of were the two with the all-time" notations... will need to consider this information |

What's in your wallet? .... - | ||

So you to your portfolio (I think that's where it is), or wherever you find the Create a Novel option, and set it up then you can add chapters (or your long-short's) sections to it. to add a chapter to a novel, esp. the first chapter, post the chapter and then in your portfolio you'll see it and there will be an Add to Book option to find the novel you created and add the chapter. It's pretty self-explanatory. After the first one's in there it's easy to add more just click Add a Chapter from the novel's listing in your portfolio list. I haven't one this for a while so the button names and stuff may have changed but the general method should be the same. - | ||

Petriesan: I am still trying to get the hang of this place, but then, tomorrow is my 14th day. . .so, I guess it will come with time. To those whose work I have left comments on, I am trying to learn how to do that. To those of you who have commented on mine and especially those who have shown me error,thank you. |

Petriesan: Day 12 of this experiment. She has Bette Davis Eyes got All Time Best Status. . .may be no biggie, but it gave me a warm fuzzy to see it |

Petriesan: News ( for me anyway): Why is the Red Fish Being Bad was just awarded with "Recognized" status---first time, one week after joining. Made me happy |
||
|
Petriesan: Just got notices that my piece "Paul McCartney's Hairline" was placed on the well-received listing. How often does this happen? |
||
| ||

|
Petriesan: As bad as this will make me look, the first several times I posted an essay---non fiction---I flat could not find the non-fiction tab on the site. I guess I am older than I had previously thought. But now that I have found it and corrected all my misteaks, all should be well |
||
p.s. Will you be eating all those "misteaks" with potatoes and gravy?? :) - | ||

The well-received notice means your piece has been put on the front page. You need at least five excellent reviews to get there, but, depending on the other posts of the day, it could take more. It's a good place to be if you want reviews. If you keep getting good reviews, you can stay on the front page for as long as 24 hours. - | ||
