It sounds very intriguing. I guess I'll have to get farther around the blogsphere than three or four blogs a day in order to keep up, huh? LOL *wink* Thanks for enlightening me Jordan.

But in this case, it's true. It was my first attempt at writing (not counting the ol' school time fanfics), and I really did a lot of things wrong. The sucker is in for a <i>complete</i> rewrite, and of the 125K maybe 30 will survive with 'only' editing. The rest got kicked for good. Lol, I know it’s natural to think that.

It's only after you've been away from it for a while that you can actually look at it with a clear vision. As for those movies, I think you have a while to wait. The one doesn't come out until 2007. :/ Gabriele, It’s natural to think the book sucks. It’s only after you’ve been away from it for a while that you can actually look at it with a clear vision.

I do like the two authors you mentioned though. Charlene, I’m reading Nightlife by Rob Thurman and LKH. I do like the two authors you mentioned though.

You'll have to come out and play more often. :) The book is about a woman who sets out to solve a murder and ends up stopping a war. What makes it different from my other work? The main thing is it's not really a romance. It is a near-future paranormal suspense with romantic elements. The focus of the story is on the quest for truth, the adventure. It's written in both first person and third person point of view, which I've only done in journal form before. So it was a challenge. I hope an editor likes it. :) Anne, LOL!

I wish I'd know that feeling (the only draft I finished was of my first novel and I immediately felt it sucked, all 125K of it) but then I'd better not spend so much time reading blogs. *grin* <br><br> I want <i>Beowulf</i> and </i>Alatriste</i> to hit the theatres, dangit. :) Yay for the finishing.
