It made the swelling go down right away and the massive bruise I had was gone in 2-3 days! <br /><br />How big is your basement? Ours is 1100 square feet and my dad helped us so we didn't have to pay someone to finish it. Our basement bathroom was already done, so that made things cheaper, but the material costs weren't bad...around $5000. And the carpet will probably be another $2000. Compared to the $25,000-$30,000 contractors were quoting us, it came out to be a pretty good deal. Good luck with yours when you decide to start on it!Angela Corbetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783274916071300710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908338910530345475.post-78975838733658642722010-05-02T15:28:51.490-06:002010-05-02T15:28:51.490-06:00I hope your ankle is good now.

It takes me about 45 minutes to get to either.<br /><br />I have one reader that just finished. Which he did enjoy and said he wants to read more, but I know it needs more editing and cleaning up. So, for now I'll keep looking and trying to make it better.Shain Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908810007467259885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908338910530345475.post-3378159070158196552010-04-17T14:00:29.791-06:002010-04-17T14:00:29.791-06:00Shain, where are you in Florida?

It was my first trip to Florida but I can't wait to go back! <br /><br />My beta readers were pretty easy to find. I just asked people I trusted who liked the genre I was writing in. My crit partners were harder. I found that beta readers were good for giving me general feedback, but most of them only told me the good things about my manuscript and were hesitant to tell me what they didn't like. As for crit partners, I am VERY lucky that Amazing Ashley is my best friend, but I also reconnected with some old friends who also write, as well as finding new crit partners through online reading/writing networks like Goodreads.com and yalitchat.ning.com. Using online networking has helped me a lot, not only with finding crit partners but also meeting agents, editors, and everyone from novice to bestselling authors. Hope that helps!Angela Corbetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783274916071300710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908338910530345475.post-51221083810417889862010-04-17T07:36:39.129-06:002010-04-17T07:36:39.129-06:00We have had cold winter which is leading into a sl...We have had cold winter which is leading into a slow start to summer, so humidty hasn't been a problem as of yet. Glad you enjoyed your trip and sorry about the ankle. How did you begin putting betas and crit partners together. I am struggling to get them for mine. I could use an Amazing Ash, but who couldn't i guess.Shain Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908810007467259885noreply@blogger.com
