Sep. 29th, 2008 04:15 pmNo more being Miss Lazypants for me. I've done the post-novel wallow, and frankly, I'm done with it. Ill-advised sugary snacks have been had, naps taken, interwebs surfed. Time to move to the next stage.
The Tower!Guy story is now resting in the most capable of hands, where it belongs.
However, I would like to have maybe another reader (or more!) for the Tower!Guy novel, but I'm not sure that anyone I know has the free time right now. And, asking someone to read your crappy novel is sort of a big favor to ask. I think most people would just rather help you move a body.
That being said, I'm asking. I am, of course, more than willing to return the favor now or at a later date, anything from short stories to door stopper novels. If that's not your currency, other rewards are to be had, in addition to my undying gratitude.
All I'd really want is for someone to sit down with the novel and tell me how it looks to you, a reader. What works, what doesn't, what floats your boat, what sinks you like the Titanic. Grammar, spelling, and other mechanics need not be nitpicked unless that's your thing.
Also? No time pressure. I mean, hopefully by the end of the year you'd have gotten back to me, but I'm not desperate for it to be done five minutes ago.
I'd also understand if real life got hectic and you had to tap out at any time. No offense taken, no grudges held. And I'd still owe you that favor.
Okay, so there's my plea. No guilt tripping if you can't take me up on it. I understand that right now is not a good time for a lot of people on my f-list, for various reasons.
But maybe if you could? It would be unbelievably awesome of you.
[/begging].
Off to outline the next project and get a-crackin' on it. Like the old proverb goes: "Before Enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After Enlightenment, chop wood, carry water."
