I calculated the full amount of words in my first series.

Wait for it...*pause for drama*

209,652.

It would cost $1,133 to edit it, according to one editing service I found. Gah.

Book II and V are probably the ones that need editing the most, since they're the longest.

Book IV is basically a novella [17,000 words], and Book III and VI/VII are nearly the same length [close to 30,000 words, each].

In my second series, there's three characters [sort of] introduced in Book I, six characters introduced in Book II, five characters introduced in Book III-IV, and two characters introduced in Book V [one of the characters from III-IV is technically the same character as the hero of V--reincarnation-wise]. Book VI has almost every character all in one place as a 'lash hurrah' kind of thing.

get a couple of good books on editing, then go at it yourself.

What exactly does editing entail ?

Fixing grammatical errors and pointing out plot holes, presumably.

and you could join a writing group or two for suggestions,

I like girls, and I like guys who look like girls. I always thought that asexual = never wants to have sex.

Um according to aven you can touch yourself so I don't know that never having a desire is accurate. Also I don't want to post to explict for the children that might be around but I would for reproduction purposes if the circumstances were all a-ok, married, no stress, and so on.

Asexuals can have a libido, but we generally don't feel a desire to have sex with others.

XH is right outside discussing forms with my son’s therapist. I can hear them. I feel a strong pull of dissociation but because he’s not actually here talking around me I can fight it.

Does anyone else here experience dissociation? (Distinct from Shutdowns)

I’m not sure what the difference is

I've never been able to work it out.

That's easy. just hit the quote button on a post that has one and you'll see the lay out. That's the only reason I know how.

Uh, I did that and still couldn't get it to work, it would just come up with the image in the post.
There's no help for stupid, I guess.

That's just completely out of line.
Should not be touching you, in any way.
Stay far away from that a-hole.

I've had many dissasociative episodes over my state of 'health'.
I think I probably would have died of the fear by now if I hadn't.

Some people like to be touchy and overly "friendly". Some people like to poke and touch shoulders and

Hug

aquaintances as a greeting... a couple guys at work do it but they usually ask first to make sure it's ok. Normal people are weird :roll:

Is saying hi and responding to/asking 'how are you' without actually caring not enough for them? Some people yes *poke* Raleigh

Hi cathylynn, glad your back to posting, seems like you took a break.

Additionally, I am nuking it clean to hell over here on a biblical scale so if the Internets dies, it will probably be me :mrgreen:

L O L

That was not a knock at your generation...

It was totally a knock at your generation

But I mean it in just, better to laugh then to cry, I the the warhead has entered low orbit.

This is when you duck under a desk and kiss your rear end goodbye

I don't have a desk anymore

Once you fall in love with TV you never go back to radio.

If you're referring to talk shows or stories or whatever... I can't pay attention long enough to understand what's being said. My mom is used to hearing "I don't know what you just said" and she will repeat herself like it's a normal thing :lol:

other people get irritated needing to repeat so much. I probably only hear half of what's said and then I may not even process all of it. It happen so with tv too though which is probably why I have no problem with foreign movies and reading subtitles so easily. More engaging?

Who here is visual? :lol:

I came here to say my brain is in overdrive and I can't. Stop. Thinking. About. Everything. Trying to do a word search which normally takes five minutes and umm well I got to the last two words and ten minutes later here I am! Hello :roll:

I'm trying to not ramble, but it is sooooooooooo difficult right now

:wall:
