All the plates were color-coded by price, and you just stack your plates and the server adds it up.

I amazed at how mild their wasabi was. Usually I can only handle a little dab but I ate almost the whole chunk of wasabi. Weird. England's Chinese food is really different too, it's just kind of there without much flavor, haha.Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271157837542030455.post-83465158620809579522013-08-22T11:59:11.478-05:002013-08-22T11:59:11.478-05:00I love your story idea.

Thanks again for your feedback on my query and pages. <br /><br />I'm also reliant on DVDs for Dexter and I can't wait for the current season to be on DVD.

I could seriously get into that today. :0)<br />It sounds like you're doing an excellent job hitting your writing goals. 40K in a month definitely earns you a girls trip!

Sort of, because it's good to find something redeemable in every book I read, but perhaps this indicates I'm not reading widely enough! I don't know that I could put a book down without finishing it, though. I hope the next set of books are 5-star reads for you, Stephanie. :)<br /><br />And wasn't WriteOnCon awesome? Great presentations, and such good feedback on my query and pages. I enjoyed writing critiques too--not only is this a way for me to help others, it also hones my critical skills that I'll then apply to my own work. Glad you enjoyed it too.<br /><br />Have a wonderful week!Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271157837542030455.post-33783635528893521302013-08-21T18:42:17.479-05:002013-08-21T18:42:17.479-05:00Aah!

I really enjoyed WriteOnCon. The query panel featuring your agent was super informative, plus enjoyable. I want to go to that Sushi place. I embarrass myself with chopsticks while eating normal sushi, so it would probably be a disaster for me to try it in motion, but it sounds fun!<br /><br />Have a wonderful week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271157837542030455.post-3036986602281241622013-08-21T16:23:00.637-05:002013-08-21T16:23:00.637-05:0040k in one month is incredible!

And it's tough not to delve into some of those minor characters more when there just isn't room for it.<br /><br />Sushi served in an automated conveyor tube sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel. I would love to try that! Good luck closing in on 60k by early September!Erin L.

Hopefully, it goes rather slowly otherwise people would get kind of stabby with their chopsticks. :)<br /><br />I'm right with you on melodrama, whether it be NA/YA or adult. I'm so stick of two dimensional couples, in two dimensional relationships that just go back and forth for no good reason. Makes me want to toss the book across the room. (How's that for a rant?!)<br /><br />Hope you have a fantastic week and good luck with your writing goal! :)Kris F.
