Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Punishingly Intricate

So, um, not sure about the etiquette of asking for a beta, but I have a partial draft of a story I'm working on and I've hit well, not an impass, but a point at which I need to decide what to do next. As in, is this a short story? a novella? If someone is willing to read it, I'd be grateful.

Burrell, if you still need readers I'd be happy to help.

I finished the first draft of my book. Next up, reading the feedback from my beta readers, and polishing. But the first draft is DONE.

“Not dead yet!”

Wheeeeee, Jilli!

I know I owe you scads of feedback, but actually, I think this is going to be good-- I'm going to read in order, beginning to end and give you overall impression. Is that good?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Jilli, I'm so "I KNOW HER!!!" about you.
