MWAHAHAHAAHA

I have finished my second novel.

The second half sucks ass and a lot of it has to be redone.

But it's FINISHED!

Now I just have to redraft.

This is like the third or fourth draft of the novel, but the first draft that actually works. So, I'm happy. =D

I'm looking for some cold readers if possible. With the caveat that they have to write some fan fiction after reading it. XD

But I'm silly like that.

As we talked, of course.

I'd like to read it, but I don't know if I could write fanfiction. Certainly not fanfiction I'd be willing to let anyone see ... ^_^

Hehe. The fan fiction requirement isn't solid. Just me being silly.

I could try, but the fanfiction requirement is... uhm... peculiar... Not sure if I could do it either.

Hee. Fan fiction's only because I'm silly.

I would love to read it, but I'm still editing the hell out of my book.

About as fun as getting hit with a brick. Only 90,000 more words to read and kill whooo!

Anyway, have fun redrafting your own novel, I'm sure it's really good! :D

At least you don't have to completely rewrite your first novel because you invalidated half the plot with the second one.

Ha, true, I just have to change up some of the concepts I came up with as a slightly less twisted fourteen year old. Good luck validating your first book, though.

I know I'm having enough trouble fixing up inconsistencies, and changing the details of everything. I can only image having to completely rewrite it all again.

Well, time to shovel my fifty foot driveway. Nothing like hard physical labor to make imagination run rampant. :D Good luck with your writing endeavours!

I'd like to read it, but I'm really busy . . .

. . . ah, send it over anyway.

CONGRATS!
How long is it?

About 65,000 words

Congrats! Ahhh, don't you love that satisfying feeling of accomplishment after finishing something?

And I'd be willing to take a look at it. I've been kind of curious about your writing for awhile anyway.

Although I hate asking, but would you care for a story-swap out of it? You're the kind of analytical reader I'd need.

Date: 2007-12-16 09:46 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kippurbird.livejournal.com
Sure. Story swaps are perfectly acceptable.

Harr.

Just finished my own too. Doesn't it feel great?

You wanna swap, too?

Date: 2007-12-17 09:00 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kippurbird.livejournal.com
Yes it does!

Okay. Swappy is fun.

I'd really like to read it! I'm trying to put off reading Cause of Death, and anything is great!

Ooh!

May I? I've been interested in reading your writing.

I so would, especially for fanfiction's sake because someone must. I just started The Lies of Locke Lamora and have a time limit on reading it, though. =(

Ooh! Applause and cookies: that's awesome. :D I haven't even written one yet. Worldbuilding for two parallel universes eats my brain. >.>

Is it too late to volunteer to read? Fanfic... might... possibly happen. Probably Alec/PsychoBoyfriend fanfic. Because that relationship sounds full of win. :D
