Fish needs readers
« on: June 25, 2005, 08:14:59 PM »
So I finished my third novel today...

It's contemporary YA and it topped out at 53,000 words.  

Anyone interested in reading it?  

I'm assuming Jeffe wants a copy (check your email) and I've promised a paper copy to Brenna, but is anyone else willing to critique for me?  Chimera?  Old One?  Others?

Yeah, totally, both of you.  PM me your email.  

(Archon, if I have it already, I apologize, but I don't know where to find it.)

Fish have no concept of fire. Think about that one for a second, eh?

Of coure I will read it. I love fantasy, but I've been reading a lot lately--it might be nice to read something contemporary for a change.

Besides, I've been asking for it since you let me read the first half. I *have* to find out what happened to Haley!

Of course I'll read it, but I can't promise timeliness. I finally got my stuff last week, and haven't had any time to unpack. I get home Tuesday night to waist-high boxes, and then it's the 4th of July weekend the next weekend, and I've already promised to read Alcatraz and Blacker Darkness. But do send it along and I'll try to get to it by the end of July.

MsFish,

Would you be doing this book in the writing group we might end up in together?

EUOL--I'm thinking not.  I kinda want my writing group on the same project I'm on.  

Jade and Gopher-- I'll gladly send to you, but I need your email.  

Everyone Else--I'll send you emails tonight.

Mod--do I have your email?


Thanks so much everyone!  You're AWESOME!
