  • New Novelist Seeks Easy-Going Feedback... or something along those lines...
    by richrowe at 19:10 on 27 January 2009
    Hello would-be reader,

    This is my first post on here... I wanted to see what the site is like before signing up for real!

    If you could spare a couple of minutes of your time I'd love to get any input...

    Like I say in my bio I'm 22 and am a second year creative writing student, this is a first draft from the opening chapter of my novel which I'm currently working on. It's a thriller-come-surrealist novel aimed at teenage/adolescent readers.... please let me know your thoughts.

    I also meant to point out that it was a deliberate decision not to include wave upon wave of characterisation in the opening chapter... I wanted it to be an introduction to the plot outline. The second chapter is a flashback and will include a lot more info on the otherwise unknown narrator....
