The thing is I know if I really play with it the idea is great, if written as a young adult novel kids would be clamoring for it but I'd rather write the character as an adult and there in lies my biggest dilemna. Try forcing it? Not a good idea.<br /><br />But anyways I'm rambling... I like your excerpt. It's not woohoo exciting but barring that I have no clue what's lead to it or what the characters look like I could get a very basic visual to work with. I agree with Jamie regarding your ability to write physical action, our duels and chases and such have always been some of my favored bits of our interaction as writers. I think that will be a really important part of your novel considering.<br /><br />You know me though... even if you're like my BFF I'm gonna be critical and say so when I see stuff I don't think works. I think I may have some kind of compartmentalization issue there. ha! I even have to remind myself not to hold back just because I'm scared my own writing would get ripped on. LOL It's a lot easier to be critical and notice issues in someone else's writing methinks.<br /><br />Woot I see a familiar face in them followers!

AND I DIDN'T SAY IT...Damn you for such a tease! AND I DIDN'T SAY IT WAS BORING! BLAH! Well, I can say this little tease makes me look forward to the next chapters/pages leading up to it. I think your biggest strength, which is how it's always been since I first wrote with you on those Star Wars forums way back when, is your action descriptions. Its certainly not easy for me, so I think you do a great job at it and this tid-bit is a great example. Keep it coming man! It's funny, because I'm really looking for things to be critical about, because I don't want it too look like I'm falsely supporting you, but so far, there is no real criticism past spelling and grammar issues, which can all be fixed in editing. I think thats a good thing?<br /><br />Oh and 7 followers now, nice!
