I was wondering if we were going to hit a cap this week (holiday weekend and everything).  Could we encourage everyone to post early enough on Monday that we can take advantage of the free time (those of us who have it)?

Yeah, now we're scaring everyone off. That wasn't my intent, guys. (It's my CRITIQUES that are meant to scare people.) Seriously, there's no need for anyone to submit less than they'd planned. I just meant to give a heads-up that we probably wouldn't be adding anyone else for this week. :)

In the beginning of Reading Excuses, a lot of people would submit right when Sunday changed over into Monday.

I'll plan to send mine out as soon as it's done, which, considering how much non-work I do (ie: sitting at the front desk writing) today, should be early Monday.

I know this is a couple days late, but in reply to sortitus' comment about the e-mail subject lines and e-mails not getting sorted into the right folder...you should be able to put a filter on the "to" address line. In this case, tell your e-mail to filter everything that has a "to: (insert our mailing list address, since I'm not sure we want that on this un-hidden board)" into a particular folder. That's what I did. Of course, this doesn't fix the whole naming of the submissions problem, but it should fix the filtering deal...

Mmm! Smartness! That would have been a bother before, but with the forwarding it is super easy. :D

As one can plainly see, I have not submitted. In other news, writing while exhausted doesn't work so well.

I would love to be added to next week's submission date. I really need a deadline to give myself some motivation to write something new

Yay, Hamster! Will you be doing something new or are we finally getting more of your first book? :)

Yep, there were a lot of slackers this time. Me thinks we are in need of a better punishment than the evil laughing chorus.  ;D

Tis something from my first book, I don't really want to work on other stuff, too much distraction.

Can I sign up for next week as well?  I've had some complaints about offing my main character in the first chapter, so I kinda need to submit chapter 2 to prove that he isn't dead...
