Interested in Helping me With my Book?

So some of you know I'm writing a book, or at least attempting. It's a fantasy book about a boy scout and his grandpa and it's geared towards the younger crowd, but hopefully adults will find it entertaining as well. I know, I know, it must sound comical that I'm writing a book, but please let me explain.

I decided to write a book for numerous reasons and here are a few.

1. My writing skills are beyond poor. Trust me, I know. I've always wanted to be able to write fluidly and expand my vocab. I figured writing a book would help me. It has too.

2. I've always wanted to write a book, after I started reading. I really didn't start reading until my senior year in high school, after that, I was hooked. I read about a book a month now. Although, I'm not a writer, it's been a fun challenge.

3. I'm writing it for my three adopted Russian sisters. They are awesome! I hope they won't want to disown me after reading it. ;)

4. It's about a dream I had. I know, how gay.

5. I always try to rush things. (hence why I have so many mistakes in my posts) And since my writing skills suck, it forces me to take things slowly and be precise.

Anyways, if you are interested please send me a pm with your email address. I'll send you the first chapter. After you read the first chapter, if you are interested in reading more (I'm 200 pages in) I can send you more. Please be honest. If it sucks, it sucks. If you liked something about it, please let me know. Basically just tell me your feelings about it. I also ask you not to post it or the ideas on jazzfanz. If I send it to you, please respect that. It's fair game to make fun of me for it before and after reading it though, and I'm sure I'm gonna get a lot of crap.


thanks,



A blushing Archie

Here's some constructive criticism for you. If you're writing a book for your sisters why is it about a grandfather and his grandson and boy scouts? Wouldn't it make more sense to write about a grandfather and his granddaughters? Something little girls would be interested in?

There's a lot to it, at least the book. I think I used the excuse that I was writing it for my sisters more as a crutch so I didn't feel so dumb. I know, right?

LOL, Archie, you're a trip! Now you ought to feel even dumber, using your poor, helpless, adopted little Russian sisters in such a fashion. This thread is crackin' me up.

Archie,
I read the chapter and it's pretty good.

Anyone else wanna help? Come on, I know you do. Is it pretty sad that I feel more comfortable asking people I don't know to read it from the interweb, than I do asking people I do know?
 
I wrote a book once. It was 8 pages long. Mainly all pictures, which I didn't draw, but I writ the dialogue, ya know!? I forgets mosta it now, though. Except for the first page, where the Babe asks: What do you want me to do first? Then the guy says; "Take out them false teeth, Darlin."
