So totally non-political, not about any primary, not about any election. But.. I write. I write fiction, truthfully most of what I’ve written up to this point I’m not proud of. It’s not very good. I’m my own worst critic, and to be blunt, it sucks. It’s one dimensional crap.
That being said, what I’m working on now I really like. It’s a combination of story idea’s I’ve had for years now. Jotted down notes and thoughts combined into a story I think works, at least so far in the process. I’m getting about a month out from being done with the first draft. The alpha draft if you will. That leads me to this post.
In an effort to help me clarify the story, and get feedback I’m looking for a few Alpha/Beta readers. You would read the first draft, (most likely in PDF form.) and give me feedback. A few things to take note of:
1) You are not being an editor. You are just reading and giving feedback on the story, what you liked about it and what you didn’t like about it. I have an editor lined up for this book already.
2) You have to agree to taking no MORE than two weeks to read and give feedback.
3) This is not a paid thing, you are just being helpful :)
4) The story is Urban/Modern Fantasy, but NOT YA. (I once tried to write YA fiction, it was a horrible mess, and decided right then to stop, never been happier with that decision.)
5) If you are OK with it, I’ll give a shout out in the book notes to you.
I self publish all this, I do it because it’s fun, creative, and helps me express that part of who I am, in a way that I can do in the middle of the night without bothering anyone.
So if your game, please contact me via Direct message here in the site. First come first serve, and I’ll be looking for 4-5 readers. Thank you, and you can now return to your regular in-party warfare that is called “Primary Season.”
