So here are the options I have right now:
1) Everyone who wants in gets a premium membership ($34 dollars for a full year, $24 for six months) . It isn't really a lot of money, but for some of you who are full time students it is. It's a commitment that I can't ask any of you to make. That would be unfair.
2) We say "screw CC" and go elsewhere. I don't know where to go that will give us at least some way to organize our critiques, nor where we can get that 'inline critique'.
3) Someone tell me or teach me how the heck they can easily do critiques in word with whatever crazy feature they use. (Someone mentioned this to me. This would mean we could just send MS word docs, or RTF files to one another and do it that way. Perhaps start some sort of mailing list or whatever for it. This would mean not using CC of course, but I probably could utilize my premium membership for doing a real good run through of WISB since I am considering publishing it). And there has to be some sort of quick key for this otherwise it will make clicking around take way too much time.
4) Someone give me another idea of what the heck to do about this. I'm a little lost here.
So, does anyone have any ideas?
Well, I can help out in utilizing Word :) I did a simple search in the Microsoft Search Help & found an interesting add-in for writing, editing, & formating manuscripts ...
