There's a languages thread here on AW, maybe you could find Latin there and ask.
Cause I'm not gonna be any help, I don't speak latin

I got a full request from a top notch agent
You're on a roll! Fingers crossed!
THIS! Yes. OMG. This is why I married you, Mel. We're so much alike.
Haha. You are my literary wife.

I'm hurling cyber-rice at Dorothy and Mel! Not only to celebrate their nupitals, but also 'cause I agree that since I've learned a bit more about writing, it's taking me a LOT longer to write a novel.
I churned out seven books in two years! But, um, now? I have to rewrite them all (and I've been SO embarrassed as to what I thought passed muster "back in the day").
Congrats Smiley!
You know, I've been avoiding and dreading it (mainly 'cause I didn't want to do the leg-work), but I may have to do the agent querying thing for a new adult thriller series I've completed the first book of. BUT I HATE QUERYING! (Okay, I'm off my whine-box).

I finished up chapter 5, and half way done with 6 (1800 words total). I was going to take a break ad go to bed, but then for whatever reason, my mind thought it would be best to wash the pillows and pillow cases. I'm not one bit tired, either, and I can't figure out why. I just don't have the energy to write. D:

Hey everyone!
I used to post here circa last summer but then writing became an afterthought as I finished up college. Now I'm trying to churn out a first draft between now and mid-April, when I start my first post-grad job! I've been reading the forums a lot in the past several weeks and thought I'd try to up my contribution again. It's so hard to find people who want to talk about writing in my "real" life.
Anyway, I look forward to hearing about everyone's writing goals and progress. If anyone needs beta readers, just let me know Like I said, I am totally free between now and mid-April. Oh, and congrats, Smiley, on that full request. How exciting! I hope good things come of it!

CONGRATS!!!I got a full request from a top notch agent
Happy writing!
*dodges rice* Good luck with the querying, SiK! I know, querying is not the funnest thing to do, but I'm crossing my fingers it works out for you.
In other news: It's not everyday a New York Times best selling author AND a Grammy award winning singer like your Facebook status about your book. Yep, that happened to me today: http://www.facebook.com/dorothy.dreyer/posts/10151446237263006
^_^ Just a little giddy about that.

So, I'm thinking of trying out handwriting (again) or phone for the first CampWrimo as a try out for July - I'm hoping to be in Rome the first few days of that one.
Major problem with handwriting: Keeping track of word count. Major problem with writing on my phone: battery.
