So I've started writing on my novel again and I seem to be making progress. As a means of keeping myself honest and motivated, I thought I'd post and see if there was any interest among my exalted readership in reading/kibitzing/throwing abuse at the novel and my writing process as I get it done. I know people are awfully busy (because they always are) and I don't want this to be any sort of imposition. If anybody takes part at all, it'll be a welcome surprise. :) Entries related to it will be tagged appropriately and probably friendslocked, just 'cause I don't feel the need to throw those open to everyone in the wide world. If it's any use whatsoever, upon reading over it after a long time away, I think that it does not suck. I don't guarantee that you'll like it, mind you, only that it shouldn't make your eyes bleed.
If/when I do start sending things out to read, it won't be until I have at least the first three chapters completed (I'm about halfway or so through chapter 2 now, I think). There's a fairly big jump in perspective in at least one place, and I don't want to throw anyone off with that by just sending one chapter at a time. I'm not in any sort of huge rush to finish this so it shouldn't be a tremendous drain on anyone's time. It's just something I really need to do and work on.
Anyway, respond if you're interested and email me with your email address (if you're pretty sure I don't have it) for when I get around to sending files. :) If you think I have your email address but I can't find it, I'll post something and let you know I need it.
