ARGH and a proposition

cornerofmadnessI finished nano, topped out at over 55,000 words and I can't submit it from here. This cheap ass new Dell can NOT save as txt. Rich text is as close as it comes. I'll have to take it to work and convert it there. Sheesh.
And now for the proposition. I know out of that 55K not all of it will be kept. Large portions yes but not all. AND last year I took my Nano novel and set it aside forgotten. I do not want to do that this year and I'm betting that you all don't either. I propose that we poke and prod each other until we get these novels actually done!
More over, I know a lot of us were interested in a novel trade. How about a first chapter trade? We all would have to look at the first chapters (let's be sane here, if you have a 50 page first chapter some of it will need shaved off for this) and give real constructive criticism. If you want to read more that'll be between you and whoever. This would have to be by email since publishing any of this online could complicate publication down the road. I'd like to throw this open to those on my flist (since I'm trusting most of us to be good and not flame) and to both original and fan fic. if you're interested let mw know.
