I agree, Ani! My favorite read this year was the small press book, "God of Animals" -- if want a different and well received novel, you might enjoy it!
Montana Press, but it was so well received that you should be able to get it from your local library. (Warning, it will keep you up nights for several weeks as you work through all the angst, but it is great. I swear she grew up in my old neighborhood.)

Hey Guys
I'm Alex.
I'm currently dabbling in the writing field, in my spare time from my studies.
My current work, the first "chapter"(its really just the first scene), as well as the teaser/prologue, can be seen in my post in this section.
The story, which im calling "Fallen" for now, is an urban fantasy. I don't want to spoil any of the plot right now, so if you want, you can read the posted stuff.
Please, if you don't mind, I'm thriving on criticism on my work, so if you feel like doing some straightforward (but polite) criticism, hit up my work.
Thanks everyone!

Okay, here goes,
I'm also an aspiring writer, but I've sort of lost my motivation after a few rejection notices. The problem is that I'm a good enough editor that I look at the stuff that I write and look at the stuff that my favorite authors write and I sort of realize that I'm a long way off.
I've written about fifty to sixty short stories, mostly for my circle of friends consumption and to add flavor for the roleplaying games that I run. Most of these short stories are unpublishible, because roleplaying games tend to become full of very inside jokes which would not go over well in the mainstream. I've finished two novel length stories as well, within the science-fiction and fantasy genre. I'd love to post a link for everyone to my writing, but none of it is published to the web atm.
I read what Jim and other authors had to go through to get published and it leads me to think that maybe I don't have the patience and willingness to take leaps of faith necessary to get published, even though I love sharing my stories with others. For now, I'm content to share these stories via my RPGs, which I usually design and run myself without using published systems.

have you thought about making your stories into game modules and getting them into print that way?
