The Hobbit
Luke Callindor– I kind of did that when I left home. Just no yelling and it was night and I did more of a sneaking motion.
Nyx– I was more kicking and screaming.
Delvin Cunningham– The question is more about what we like, which is something we don’t really hear. Most people want to know about our adventures or what we don’t like about.
Nyx– Horses, sleeping on the ground, bad food, nearly getting killed every week, lack of a bath . . . Why do I keep doing this?
Sari– Because you’re destined to keep traveling until the Baron is defeated or you die. I like the stories and meeting new people. Though the lifestyle is rough on my dresses.
Timoran Wrath– It may be smarter to wear more practical clothing. *Annoyed glare from Sari* Or continue doing what you are doing. The point of adventuring is to help those in need.
Luke– At least the way we do it. Other people are out solely for reputation and money. I came close to being like that. Honestly, I like becoming famous for being a hero. It makes me feel like my lifetime of training is justified.
Delvin– Interesting way to look at things. Many of us have spent most of our lives training without knowing what the future held. It’s almost like we always knew we’d end up on the road.
6th Champion– I guess Nyx and I are the only ones who grew up expecting this. It does bring an odd sense to the entire thing.
Nyx– Kind of like it’s a job and fun doesn’t usually factor in. Yet, I do have fun because I’m with my friends. That’s what I like about adventuring. Sharing stories and my life with those I care about.
6th– I’m sorry, but I’m not there yet.
Sari– You’ll get there. I mean, you just woke up a month ago. The author is still trying to figure out how to use you on the blog.
6th– He’s watching this?
Timoran– Who do you think is putting the words on the screen?
6th– What screen? I’m sorry, but I really don’t understand what’s going on here.
Luke– I thought you were going to explain this type of post to her, Delvin. She’s not looking very good.
Delvin– We couldn’t get past her being a character in a book and there being an audience. I thought she’d be fine after being awake for so long.
Nyx– Maybe we should end this before she faints . . . and takes the readers with her.
Sari– To sum up, we like getting the stories, the fun, the friends, and some of us are having a little trouble accepting reality. Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
Finding the right editor is like finding someone to date. It takes patience, resourcefulness, and sometimes, just plain luck. There are dozens of ways to find editors online, and the first editor you find may not be the right fit for your book, or the two of you may not have good chemistry.
