I've got to agree with fireflyz, but if you're still wanting to be in a writing group I'm the moderator for my group.  We submit through e-mail once a month and send critiques to each other the same way.  Including myself there's three active members and one part time member.  We've been doing this for about 7 months without any problems.  We try to keep submissions under 10K and we're all writing various flavors of sci-fi and fantasy, both adult and YA.

How was it?

It is much easier to read between the lines when the OP has more than one line :-)

Unless everything we're saying is what's between the lines and the OP is just waiting for the conversation to end so they can bookend it.

Yeah, that's what I love about his books.  There's so many layers.  He puts in the most seemingly innocuous sentences that are actually foreshadowing.  It's brilliant!

Yes, there's less action as in battles and such but there's so much else going on that in my opinion they're just as fast paced as the more tropic fantasy books are.

Brandon's steady stream of updates and tweets are keeping me content for now.  I do have to say that I'm loving the behind the scenes peeks that they give.  It brings a whole new depth to the book.

Flaccid. i love the two c's. or dweomer. that just flat out looks wierd. sigh. there are just too many out there

I love that word too.

The other day one of the gals in my writing group described one of my characters as creepertastic.  I like this word too.

I really like CabbyHat and ulysses sword's theories.  I actually can't decide which I like better but they both leave me wondering about a couple things.  In CabbyHat's theory I'm wondering why the Heralds would make the Oathpact knowing that a thousand years of torture await them.  In ulysses sword's theory I'm wondering what other angle Odium has worked into the deal.  I mean, torturing Heralds and sending out Desolations is fun for him/her/it, but it doesn't feel like enough incentive.
