Re: Crossing Thresholds

It's 1976. Everyone looks old to Mary, even the young people. Maybe it's the long hair and scraggly beards of the dirty, bare-foot, shirtless dudes. Or maybe it's the sagging, braless breasts flagrantly flopping like freak flags below the rock star T-shirts of the ironed hair, glassy-eyed 1970s chic...

Re: Mainstream Novel Query - THE DIM MAN

Tim Mann has no soul. Good line. It's nice and straight to the point. Or at least that’s what the latest popular computer application says. I think having popular in there kinda catches the reader, it interrupts the flow of the sentence. Saddled already with a worsening and debilitating heart probl...

Re: YA Fantasy Query -- Glory or Death, 4th rev.

Ayla, A THERIAN Just a notice, but I don't think Ayla's a therian. Notice that she put: When the mageian and therian competitors meet for the first time on the first day of the war, Loran stands on the therian side. Just wanted to point that out, that's all. :) Ayla didn't care that she was created...

Re: Query - Breaking the Rules (Chick Lit)

Dear Ms/Mr X: BREAKING THE RULES is a fast-paced chick-lit novel that tells the story of what happens when you have to redefine the rules of love, friendship and family in order to find yourself. This should definitely be moved to the word count. It just delays the awesomeness of the actual story co...

Re: The Introduction Thread

Hello~ I've been a lurker for the forums for a few months now, no where near the years of some! I'm working on a novel with my best friend (aka the other half of my brain) and I love pretty much all genres. I started writing when I was about seven and luckily my skills have improved. I've had plenty...
