    Oh, I feel that. I have a small problem with having my writing grow longer and longer as I write. xD

    I have the exact same thing! During the first draft of my first book, a ‘long’ chapter was 1500 words. Now, a short chapter is 4000 words XD

    I have no idea why that happens, but I find it quite funny XD

    Alrighty, let’s plan on the last week of March (possibly the first week of April).

    That’s perfect! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I look forward to sharing it with you 🙂 (Okay, it’s a bit scary but I’ll live XD)

    A few questions: What format/program will the manuscript be in (google docs, word, etc..)? Will you give me a shareable link to the folder or documents? How exactly do you want the feedback? Just answering the beta questions after I’m finished, or is there anything else?

    It’ll be in GoogleDocs, I’ll send you a link to the document (It’s one document, that’s just how Scrivener exports, unfortunately.) I can email it to you or just post it here!

    I have those questions, I’ll send that to you end of next week if that works. Besides that, you can comment in Docs, I’d really appreciate it if you comment on any irregularities and issues you notice!

    Mainly focus on whether the story as a whole is working, like character introductions, anything unusual that stands out, how developments make you feel, anything that surprised you, that kind of stuff.

    I’d also really appreciate your historical knowledge. I’m not trying to be historically correct necessarily, my goal is just for the story to be internally congruent. So, if it makes sense I don’t need it to be historical, but if anything doesn’t make sense, please tell me.

    I’m basically looking for the same kind of feedback I gave you for TTD.

    Oh, no worries about that. I’ll be done revising soon (if my revision can be called revising xD), but I’ll probably wait until summer to give it out to most of my betas.

    That’ll be great! I’m going to have much more time during June and the first part of July, while I’m waiting for the second part of my exams. (It’s a terribly annoying way of organizing it, but that’s just the way it is.) And after that, I have summer holidays, which I am looking forward to more than I care to admit XD

    I’m really looking forward to reading it! Everything you’ve mentioned about it makes me really excited 😀
