or maybe i'm just being rhetorical. (rashomon) wrote, @ 2012-02-04 20:11:00
SO. i have been bitching and whining about having a horrible case of writer's block for like a million years. So today i thought "maybe I just need some encouragement/feedback from the lovely people I like all right"~ GOOD PLAN RIGHT?
So, if any of you want to help me out/read my stuff like a pal/etc, I have two things that I kind of want to show off/get ideas from.
1) Current WIP: ~35k done out of ~75k. YA Fantasy 'Dystopia'. A girl is forced out of her insular home country after witnessing something she shouldn't have, getting wrapped up in the lives of three young superpowered vigilantes. Also government conspiracy, kidnapping and etc. etc. (This is a terrible summary).
(there would be roughly 25-30k of this to read, there are missing scenes/deleted scenes that I have not strung back into the main narrative >.>)
2) Secondary WIP ~4k of ~40k done. YA Sci-Fi. A girl moves to a new city as an apprentice mechanic for the leading company manufacturing flying vehicles. There she meets the head of the company's son, a cold young man, and strikes up a friendship. Unfortunately, the relationship complicates and obscures her true motives for moving to his city; to find her missing heart, stolen and replaced with a robotic knock-off heart. (ALSO A TERRIBLE SUMMARY)
(the whole first chapter is what I want read, which alone is about 3k)
This is all very convoluted, basically. IF YOU WANT TO BETA-READ FOR ME/HELP ME IN SOME HELPFUL WAY, pick one of these and I'll send it to you (probably tomorrow after a quick run through). I really just need uh, positive reinforcement/constructive feedback/happy kitten gifs?
