I was going to, but since I was editing my first three chapters all month, I wasn't sure how to do that through camp nano.

However I think the title on the header is a little weird being pushed all to one side? Maybe spread it out so that it's more centered or at least stretches along the whole thing?

But hoW ...Ahhhh, child, this is such a lovely post. But hoW DARE YOU NOT TELL ME ABOUT THIS, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TALK TO YOUR MOTHER ABOUT IMPORTANT THINGS LIKE /BEING CHOSEN/. (And suddenly I sound like a dystopian novel. Huh.)<br /><br />And also, wow, Stan looks fantastic, but if you're looking for critique, he's kinda hard to read on a computer? The font/size/color makes me have to squint to read. Which is sad.

Starting with the fact that I just got all excited again because OH MY GOODNESS YOU WERE CHOSEN!!!! asjdasjdn. But yes, this is totally an issue for me. It's always so easy to tear myself down, especially when I'm showing people something I've been working on, but I just try to remind myself that they probably want me to do well....probably...unless they're just tactless potatoes...and then I just try to not worry about it. But I mean seriously, who sits down, ready to hear what you've worked on, while saying to himself, "Wow...This person's really terrible. I haven't even seen them yet, and I have no reason to be against them....but I really hope they fail." Yah....I have yet to meet someone like that. xD <br />Oh and Stan looks rather dashing today, if I do say so myself. ;) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482194496795774220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326341874458376487.post-46829181470700059232016-07-30T06:14:28.051-05:002016-07-30T06:14:28.051-05:00When I went to my conference, I definitely had som...When I went to my conference, I definitely had some fears about critique group because we had to READ OUR FOUR PAGES OUT LOUD FOUR TIMES!
