CJ, I won't. I need to write an introduction before it goes to press, and I'll be busy with taxes this weekend.

Gacela. I think it's perfect that Helga speaks Brit and Athens speaks Yank. Just be sure they are consistently separate. Maybe have people wonder about the switch up.

Re: In-line vs Regular Review (20 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)

What I like best are responses to my in-line comments in addition to a closing response. Only a few authors do that, and unless they specifically respond to my in-line comments in their closing response, I have no idea if my comments were worthwhile. A "Thanks for the review, I appreciate your comments" is pretty worthless to me as a reviewer. Accordingly, I try to respond to in-line comments of my own work when appropriate.
I try to respond to in-line reviews to let people know that their comments are worthwhile. Sometimes, because I disagree, especially on the technical issues.

Re: In-line vs Regular Review (20 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
They both receive the same amount of points. Can't speak for everyone, but I like to receive in-line reviews. It helps me with the technicalities. There are no protocols for responding to in-line remarks. I do, in order to be polite. If the person took the time to write them, it's the least I can do to answer them, if only with a one-word response. If x-line refers to regular review, the benefits are only there if the person is talking about the big issues you're copy has raised--theme, characterization, setting, etc.

CJ: Soon. You may have just a couple of weeks. But hey, it will be free for Kindle Unlimited customers and only $1.99 anyway, so don't rush yourself. That cup of coffee isn't that important. lol

Re: Bookshelf publications have gone missing!! (35 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
That's ridiculous and I'm sure they just had a bad morning when they thought of that one. Their success rests on the success of the authors, and this is basic self-promotion.

Mine seem to have gone missing, too. And when I try adding, absolutely nothing happens.

Gacela. Oh, oh. lol You'd understand that quip if you read my latest story. There's a refresh button right about the list of reviewers. Slightly to the right. You can refresh your list, get the latest listing.

Re: ANY BODY ELSE HAVE REVIEWER PROBLEMS? (6 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I now have to press the reset button every time I get a new review. And if I have several, after replying to one, hit the reset button; hit it again, for the next guy, and the next. Good way to get my exercise.

Topic: ANY BODY ELSE HAVE REVIEWER PROBLEMS? (6 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I see that I have three new reviews. Only when I go to look at them, they aren't there. I also notice that old reviews that I've responded to or marked replied, aren't marked as read. I supposedly have 4 reviews on "Parallel Construction," but, like my m/c's, they seem to have gone into a parallel time track. What gives?
