Oh wow, TOTALLY meant to reply to this when I got home (read this at work, heh!), and instead I came home and fell down in bed and that was that for the evening. *sheepish*
Anyway! Don't worry about the time--I don't have any "deadlines" coming up other than self-imposed ones, and we all know those are just...guidelines, really... *grins* If you get it to me on Monday, I'll do my damndest to have it back to you by Thursday at the latest--that way, if you want to send it back to me a second time for another look-over, you'll have time to do it before posting! And hey, I've got Wednesday off, after all, so even if you get it to be Tuesday night, I don't think Thursday will be a problem. *hearts*
That said, I'm going to show how incredibly selfish I am and say that if I didn't already like the way you write, I would never have offered to beta for you in the first place, even if I do consider you a friend. But but since I do know and like your writing, I feel like I know what I'm getting into and that it's going to be a lot of fun and not painful at all, for either of us! (And if it's possible to be more self-absorbed than that, don't tell me, I have too many unfulfilled goals as it is...) o.O
Wanna hear a fun trick I read about checking your dialog? Try reading it aloud--if it feels clunky to say, then it's probably clunky to read, but if it trips lightly off the tongue, then you've got a winner! I do that myself if I'm not sure of a passage...and I'm so glad I live alone! *snickers* Hey, I look crazy enough as it is, right?
Anyway, yeah, just hit me when you're ready--and send it to my gmail account, cos I never check any of the others! I carry my laptop with me everywhere, so even if I get it while I'm at work, I can just start on it then. Woo-hoo! *beams* Looking forward to it!
