    • ]]>     I submitted the first chapter of Angels Unaware to Critique Circle for feedback.

    Crits thus far can be summed up as ‘Cut this, cut this, this is okay but not really necessary, cut this, and… okay, you just. um. have a tendency to overwrite in general.’

    I imagine overwriting is a common problem amongst NaNoers. ‘Dammit i’ve been writing for three hours, i haven’t slept in two days, and i’ve still got fifty words to hit today’s word count… fine! Make the President’s speech longer!’

It’s… actually really good (says the person who wrote it and is therefore not biased at all… well, it’s good compared to most of my other hacked-out-in-a-month novels).

    It’s still very much a rough draft but i’m happy with it. I can do something with this. I can make it good.

    That said, if any alien biologists, cult psychologists, or world-destruction-ologists know anything about two-hearted knife wound victims, otherwise sensible cult members, and slowly but irreversibly making Earth uninhabitable… i think i could use the help.
