and yeah that does sound better, I will bring the story up and work that part in rather than what is written. I am used to having a beta reader to give me pointers but most of my beta readers are busy as of late |
Hello, Question are you using Word?? When you say the format they are in?? Sorry I work in Pagers which is only available on Apples Macs. All I can say is yeah try it and see what happens.
Sorry I hope you don't mind me pointing out bits which makes the reader go, "Hold on, did I miss something.... that didn't really flow, humm, I'll read it again... No that still doesn't work... and so on.... If you would like me to point out any more, which I have spotted, and please don't fret as they are only small ones, just ask and I will be more than happy to help a fellow author perfect her work.
Wait until you read the first eight pagers of my book giggle, as I am not as good as I am with other peoples work, I just don't see the mistakes which I see in others... How strange that is? Oh well there we are...
Anyway where was I... Ahh, yes, chuckle  (embarrassed now) I am over the moon to see, that you understand what I mean. I have helped other people in the past and they have just dug their heels in and won't allow anyone to help them.. And I am glad you have taken it on board, you don't have to as at the end of the day it is your story.
Catch you later and happy writing  |
I am working in micorsoft word processor. since this computer has it In was used to working with Microsoft word. so its a different program.
I have a yahoo group that also helps writers but I've been so busy looking for work I haven't had the chance to keep up on it. |

Hello Victoria, cool thanks for that, if you have any more problems when you load up your story, just drop me a line and I can ask a friend of mine as he knows how to save something in Word better then I do, (giggle).
Don't hesitate as you can always ask me to take a look at your stories. The one problem with Lulu is you have to ask someone to give you a hand, no one stands up and says, 'Would you like a bit of help with your story as I spotted some spelling mistakes etc'.
It is up to you? And I would be more then happy to take time out from Guardian and my up and coming publishing company, to help someone who is in the same boat as me, no one to turn to, for help, I hope you understand what I mean? OK bye for now and good luck in finding a job:) |
