Oh great tubes of the internet, I beseech thee, send me your wisdom.
1. I totally just realize the last fifty pages or so if what I've been writing on the Tower!Guy novel are so, so, so, so crappy. FRAAAAAAAAK. Frakkity frak frakkin' frakked frakker. There aren't enough made up cuss words for this situation. *headdesk*.
2. Does anyone know where there are some good, quality places to get critiques on your novel? Because hitting up people I know isn't working. The Boy is a forensic scientist. Thus, his literary eye? Does not exist. And not to be elitist or catty, but I need places that are populated by, yanno, writers who can write and who know what they're doing. Because I need someone who can be as demanding and professional about the writing as an agent/editor is going to be.
3. Go here. Tell me the books that I absolutely must have, or at least books that you think deserve to be plucked from the shelf and sampled (btw, I usually give books about the first chapter or 20 pages to impress me). I have a couple of Barnes & Noble gift cards and enough left on my metrocard to get me there.
4. Think of as many phrases, words, cliches, and sayings as you can that contain the word "night". It will be extremely helpful, thanks.
5. Kick me if I don't have at least 1500 words by midnight tonight, okay? Okay.

Critters, The Online Writers Workshop, and Liberty Hall Writers are the three that jump to the front of my mind. I think the Preditors and Editors site might have a list.
