writing stuff anf GIP!
May. 3rd, 2007 10:20 amHere's another one for my students.
I'm about to get really serious about publishing my novel again. I've entered two contests since in the last two months and found out two things a) stranger didn't hate it and they had no reason to lie. b) that my hook is getting better and i think i know how to fix it.
I'll be trying out the hook again on the writers group. However, things have changed greatly in the decade since i wrote this novel. The professional editors who helped with the first chapter were just that, helpful. But nowadays there seems to be a real push to drop people right into the action. So I'm thinking of reordering the first three chapters. I was just wondering would there be anyone out there who'd like to look at this when i'm done (it's about 40 pages or so maybe more maybe less depending on what happens when i do this). if so let me know, if not, that's great too.
