Author Craft / Looking for Critique Exchange
« on: April 04, 2010, 10:01:40 PM »
All right, I'm in a pretty strange position here. I've written three books. I dumped one for the foreseeable future and am heavily editing the second one, because I think I can bring this thing to publication. But it's going to take a serious lot of work.
At the same time, I'm writing one other book, a fantasy novel about a witch hunter, a dominatrix, conspiracies and the end of the world. I have one almost on its way to writeable, a cyberpunk novel about a not-Brazil where an Angel Investigations style team finds themselves up against a corporation who wants to control the city. This isn't counting ... well, several other ideas. Like the cold war of bugs, a vague idea about graverobbers and a manipulative sorceress, and, the newest idea, dark urban fantasy set in Berlin in 1871.
If the ideas sound good, write your own!
I'm looking for someone in the same position - someone who spent the effort to write two or three books, and might be on their way to publication. I'm looking for someone who's aware that it's a long damn process, and it might not even get anywhere for all the work you put into it.
Sorry if I sound picky as hell, but it isn't a search for a beta reader, it's a search for a little more. It's worth a shot. I'm looking for someone reliable who writes completely demented, and dark, books. Reply to the thread, check out my livejournal, or something. Any takers?
