Gonna finish it!?! YAY! I'm so excited! You don't even know how much I love that story, really. It's prety awesome I think, and if a publisher knows whats good for them, it'll be published into a book and it'll sell 304852448793410987433463242114456 coppies and you'll be a millionaire and I can be all "I knew her before she was famous" even though noone will believe me.

*deepbreath* Okay I'm done, haha! <3

I <3 !

I will put it in the dedication that you DID know before i was famous! XD Thanks again for all the support. I can e-mail you what I have so far if you want and you can give me your input! *begs*

I will never be as good as Michael Parkes, but I can keep trying.

Oooh, you're a writer too, eh? Good for you! What is your book about by the way?

I'm getting towards the end of my novel now; I'm hoping to start agent-hunting next summer. We'll see though, because with the economy like it is I've had to pick up a lot of extra hours at my day job, and finding time to write is harder...

If you're interested, I am doing Chapter swaps with people right now, where we trade one chapter at a time by email and give feedback. I'm also excited to see what other writers are doing - not to mention that feedback from other writers on my own work is always helpful! ^_~ Let me know if it's something you think you'd like to try; so far it's actually helped me quite a lot...

First, you must love yourself...

Yeah, I try a bit of everything! ^-^ And I cook and am a mechanic. XD Throw in a love for games and I've got a full day.

Best of luck with the agent hunting! Tell me how it goes, might need the pointers.

Chapter swapping? Definitely interested. The book is fantasy romance book (definitely pg-13), mostly about kelpies, or at least my take on them. What is your novel about?

Thanks very much!

I hear you! Between the cooking, the day job, and the freelance work - not to mention trying to keep my place clean! - I'm pretty much swamped! Still, I suppose it's good to keep busy...

Yeah, agent-hunting is a big milestone; unfortunately very few publishing houses accept unsolicited manuscripts anymore. -_- I'd definitely say the most useful thing I got out of my Master's Degree was a better understanding of the agent-finding and publishing process. We'll see if it does me any good when the time comes though.

Ah, excellent! As I said, a variety of feedback is good, and it's always nice to get a feel for what the peers in your field are doing. ^_^ Besides, I love kelpies! My novel is reasonably standard fantasy action fare, although I've tried to give it a fairly realistic feel. (It generally floats between the PG-13 and R mark, but nothing too gratuitous.) Heh, it's also a little plagued by my obsession with detail; I've had long enough with the concept to develop a pretty in-depth worldscape and every little bit of information keep trying to force its way in. ^_~

I like it though. If you want to swap Chapter 1, email me at blue_nephelim@yahoo.com with any prologue, background info, or questions you'd like me to keep in mind while reading, and just attach your first Chapter. I'll do the same thing in a reply email.

I look forward to hearing from you! ^_^
