I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Okay, so I've decided to polish up the YA novel I wrote at the end of 2010 and stick it up on the Kindle store. Towards that end, I would love to have a few sets of fresh eyes on it, to point out any major holes or lapses. It's 50k and a pretty quick read. Anyone interested?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Gud you are my hero! You went from 0 to 50 with the novel writing!

Um, I'd read it Holli since it's summer and I have time. But I'm not an expert on YA.

I just need someone to tell me if it sucks, honestly. Want me to send the gdoc to your profile addy?

I could read it if the time frame is long enough. I've got a bit of a beta-reading queue.

I'm the guest blogger on my agent's blog today :)

I think I have my storylines for Cog and the Copper Dragon. I still need to assemble the story and come up with a more concrete idea of the ending, but I'm liking what I have. I love my character Essy, but I don't think she's going to get a storyline in this book, it's already pretty full. It would be fun to do something with Arla too, but I think she'll have to be content with being an occasional member of Cog's scooby gang when they need some muscle. Cog will have to deal with a dangerous mystery, betrayal, friends at odds with each other, her Papa's scary new girlfriend, turning fourteen, and a boy.

I getting excited about getting up to some more steampunk fun.
