Just going to pop this here for now and reorganise once I’ve worked tour what I am going to do for PlanMo and how many words I am aiming for. Preferably about 200 a day though I can write more than that. (200 times 31 = 6200… might aim for 10 000 or 15 000… definitely has to do with how long I want it to be. I’m going to iron out to 9 000 - 10 000.)

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

@Carlito I hope this is doable. It is mainly in diary format. So I plan to do one entry every day. I just don't know how long an entry should be... it really affects how much I write. Really have to update this...

@AlmostImmortal Aw... thank you! I'm so excited to read Revolutionaries! (I hope you are well! Would love to chat again anytime.)

@Moonglade, that would be great! We can be each other’s beta readers.

@Moonglade It would be! How would you want to do that? We can do it through the NaNo forums or we can send each chapters/parts through PMs.

I'm really up for either, @AlmostImmortal. We can subscribe to each other's threads and do small reviews for every chapter... or we can PM if it is more convenient.

It depends on in-depth you want to go. I like specific reviews, and I tend to ask my beta readers multiple questions, which would be better in a PM. What style of review would you prefer, though?

Though, we should still subscribe to each other’s forums. Maybe post the chapter on the forum, send the review though PMs?

I think it depends on how often we post. I plan to post every day - which could be exhausting for a very specific review each time. However, if you did a short review or a specific one concerning a few days.

But yes... I think we should subscribe to each other's threads and PM reviews, @AlmostImmortal.

If you’re willing to wait a day or two for reviews, I’ll be able to give a specific review for each. I don’t know if you want to do this, but one thing I’ve found helpful is to have a set list of questions for your beta readers to answer. Questions like, “what was your favorite part and why,” or “rate this chapter from a scale from one to ten.” I can show you my questionnaire if you’re interested in having something like that.

That sounds like a great idea. I'd love to see your questionnaire, @AlmostImmortal!

Good luck with achieving your word goals, @Moonglade!

Every time I’ve gotten feedback that was hard to take it was usually hard to take because there was truth in it and I didn’t like that (or didn’t want to receive it). That’s not to say all harsh feedback is good or that we should be harsh for harshness’ sake, but learning to absorb truth without letting it break your inner core/break you is a lifelong skill that keeps your mind elastic and open to learning.
