136264 and counting

That's not even the full story. As you can see, the prologue and first section of my story are rather involved. Heck, to get the writing up another two notches, you can probably add 15% to that word count and be a tad low.

I'm actually looking for a sort of headliner quote for this section, which deals with my substantially broken protagonist and another major character. I already have an idea what I would preface the whole book with, and everyone agrees that it's suitable, but I'd like something that captures a bit of the dynamic that leads to the final scene of this segment of the story.

Unfortunately, my proofreading squad has had a busy month, and I don't want to burden my special forces for trivial matters of consistancy, basic typos and grammar, etc. I'm something like 47332 words behind on making sure the writing is "decent", let alone quality...

Yeah, yeah. I typically hammer these posts out in about 3 minutes and do not bother with the spell check :P

Scheisse, he beat me to it. lol

That "136264 and counting" bit is damn impressive. I really hope you make it somewhere with this and get published. I enjoy what I have read. I admire your style.

I want to write something... I keep leaning towards non-fiction though.

So when are you going to find time for all 13 chapters now that most are substantially different from anything you probably have and/or new? :)

What would you say are the strong points of my style, and what needs to be improved most to elevate the experience? Low self-confidence authors want to know!

(in the meantime, I need to flesh out the first arc, which is what I'm working most on, to the point where I can at least say I've told a quarter of the story)
