I recently had my first novel published and must admit that while there isn't anything artistically wrong with the cover I just don't feel like it properly sells the story.  The cover is for an…Continue

Not really for me. I can't run PC in the heat.

Comment by Kathy Leonard Czepiel on May 24, 2012 at 6:24pm

Good for me most weeks!

Comment by Meg Waite Clayton on May 24, 2012 at 5:17pm

Well, perhaps we should go back to the old time, which was Wednesdays at 1 EST. Does that generally work?

Comment by Danielle Boonstra on May 24, 2012 at 11:49am

I would also love to see the chats continue.  Any day is fine.  Mid-morning to early afternoons are best for me. (EST)

Comment by Andi Buchanan on May 24, 2012 at 10:40am

I'd love for the chats to continue, but Friday is the one day that's impossible for me!

Comment by Kathy Leonard Czepiel on May 23, 2012 at 10:12am

I'd love to see the chats continue. The Friday time wasn't good for me. I'm generally at my desk MWF mornings EST.

Comment by Jackie Bouchard on May 23, 2012 at 8:37am
I would like to see the chats continue. I've joined about 4 or 5 times, but never have managed to be there when you are there Meg! :)

I can't do Mondays at all, other than that mornings aren't great (pup walking time!). I could generally do anything after 10 Pac time.
Comment by Deborah Armstrong on May 21, 2012 at 7:51pm

Meg - mornings are best for me for chats. I'm away from my computer Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays by 2pm. 

Comment by Jennifer O. on May 21, 2012 at 5:46pm

Hey all, my review of Jetta Carleton's Claire de Lune was posted on LitStack today. Come by if you get a chance!

Comment by Meg Waite Clayton on May 21, 2012 at 5:35pm

Ah yes, I do see now the "submission mission" meets at 3:30 EST on Fridays. I'm going to message the group and ask people to weigh in on whether they want to continue chats, and if so, suggesting days and times. Please post your thoughts here.

"Alison - check out She Writes Query Critique v 2.0 group. I've gotten good feedback there in the past. Also, Agent Query Connect is a great source too (but be prepared to pay it forward there and offer others critiques in exchange for your own)."
