GOAL!

I'm at 50,998. Through the part where Mina has a breakdown and tells her best friend what's up. Either 4 or 5 more 'scenes' to go. I will finish this darn thing by the end of August.

Anyone want to be a reader for me? You just have to promise to be honest. And like YA. I'm making my husband read it, but if he totally hates it, I'm sure he'd have a hard time saying it. And his normal reading are books about Chess and Chess Openings and How to Do Something-or-Other in Chess better. I don't think he's read a YA book maybe ever. Even when he was young he read non-fiction stuff.

Anyway, mom-in-law about to arrive. Gotta go.

Please let me read, I have wanted to ask you since i started reading your blog. I will give you honest feedback, and will make lots comments for you.

I used to read alot of Allen Dean Foster, Anne McCarthey, and Melanie Rawn, also Orson Scott Card.

Just let me know when!

Hey Muhammed! Sure! If you want homework -- since what I'm writing is YA fiction -- check out Nicki Burnham or Meg Cabot. Then you'll have an idea of what kind of feel I'm going for. I WILL be done by end of August, so it'll be soon -- you can either send me your email address (to kim@yabookscentral.com) or I can get it from Pam. I love Orson Scott Card (got to meet him once! He was very cool) and the rest you mentioned, but I'm definitely not writing in that style (at least, not for this book)!
