Post the opening to your novel! Allow others to crtique the voice, the interest level, etc. Maybe even find a crit match!
Pendragon is a great YA story

Are you still looking for a CP? I read your excerpt and enjoyed it imensely. What are you looking for in a CP? I was intrigued by your story which made me want to follow the protag along on his journey. Detailed imagery -- very impressed! Let me know if you are still interested. You can meil me at Ejogo1@aol.com. Although, we write different genre, I beleive this can only add to our strengths.

- Completely derailed at the moment due to flooding. Yup. I live in the middle of that mess that hit the Tennessee Valley and Atlanta. Drying out basement. Keeping an eye on my crumbling driveway. And thanking the higher power we didn't suffer more. However, my NaNo projects are well under way. Should be able to get back to character development by end of week and then it's onto rough outlining. November is just around the corner!

- Very interested. Give me the skinny when you have a chance. At the moment, I'm working on an Southern fried paranormal romantic suspense for adults. I write stories in the age group/genre dictated by how it unfolds in my head. Kind of makes for strange fun but I love it.

- I found you going through the members and looking for other children's writers. I have tons of projects going on and am always on the lookout for people to trade with. Most of my YA stuff now is contemporary but I'm getting ready to start one that has a fantasy twist. It's set somewhat in the future and involves a world where magic is accepted until the two ruling families get upset with each other. The fallout leaves only the kids from these magical families and they have to rebuild their lives in addition proving to non-magicals they can be trusted. Currently, I'm planning to do this one during NaNoWriMo in November - that's where you write at least a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. This will be my fourth NaNo and I've always finished.
