Re: Viewing reviews for inactive chapters? (13 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Hi Vern. I totally understand the frustration getting around the site sometimes. And I'm sorry I didn't get in here sooner. I had the same issues and finally figured it out. Here's what I do. First, go to your portfolio (upper right hand button) you see your works listed under two tabs, click on the one that says 'Statistics'. You will see a little green + beside each work which contains chapters. Click on the green+ of the book you want to check to see the inactive chapters. You will see all the chapters pop up below. The number of regular reviews and inline reviews are in the last two columns of each chapter. You can click on those numbers to see the list of reviews given for that chapter. If (like I had) you didn't change any of your chapter names when you published the newer version, you may have trouble figuring out which is which, but the first title of each similar chapter is usually the inactive one. It would be a little easier if each of these was tagged with either 'active' or 'inactive'. Anyway - I hope you find your lost reviews this way.
Write On!
Hi, Mrs P, thanks for coming in, but it was Norm needing the help. As I was telling him, I've had no trouble finding the inactive chapter reviews much as you describe. Thanks for verifying I'm not hallucinating, lol. Take care. Vern

You're definitely special, Vern. ;-)
I tried what you said. Only the active chapters show up on the view screen. The inactive ones are not visible from there. I decided my readers can wade through the active versions for a while until I'm done with the reviews. In other words, screw the reader. :-) They'll figure it out.
Thanks for the suggestions.

You must have some kind of glitch. I just checked again with several different inactive items, novel and short story, and they all show my reviews. Good luck. Take care. Vern

I just checked an inactive novel and my reviews are there. Go to your portfolio and click on your work and then click on "view" from the menu. Works for me, but then I could be special, lol. Take care. Vern

Re: Ha! The monsters are real! (14 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
is that if anyone has watched, or watches the movie ‘Eye in the Sky’, would they please explain which of the seven plots (that cover every story ever written), it fits into?
If we must ram it into the 7 plots, I would suggest Tragedy because of the way Powell's plan --er -- blows up
It doesn't have to fit into "one" original plot as most stories employ elements of more than one to include sub-plots. But merely bringing in various combinations of plots doesn't make it any more "original." The googolplex plus of ways to present the same plot - whichever you pick and whatever number you assign to the stack of original plots (one, eleven, twenty-two, ?) - is what makes the difference. Take a hypothetical "boy meets girl" plot (included in some lists of plots) and you can have many billions of combinations just dealing with the living without ever going into the realm of imagination or fantasy. A similar incalculable variety could be presented within the parameters of any original plot chosen. It doesn't change the basic plot, only the portrayal. Take care. Vern

Re: Ha! The monsters are real! (14 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
There is no original plot, but there is original presentation of that plot. A novel way to tell the same story is the best you can hope for; however new presentations have been succeeding since the dawn of writing. Take care. Vern

I swear by my chiropractor. And I can't sleep sometimes because my damned characters keep having conversations in my dreams. Does this happen to anyone else on here?
It used to, but now I just write in a bottle full of sleeping pills and they all go to sleep and let me do the same. Take care. Vern

They're round....they roll....but it takes a bit to get then moving. Lol!
Many years ago, we were driving past a field full of them and one of my nieces (we raised two) yelled out, "Look at all them Jelly Rolls." We've called them that ever since. Take care. Vern

If they're wanting to meet you and discuss something important and you've never heard of them, it's a good bet you should delete immediately. Unless of course you like Russian roulette with five chambers loaded. Take care. Vern
