Just a quickie. Some of you noticed, and very kindly commented enthusiastically on the news that I've written a novel. The good news is that I've now finished my own intial proof read and edit
( Read more... )
If I was a native speaker I would love to proof read it. I'm not so I do hope you find people to read your novel. I'm still so excited that you managed to write it! :)
I just talk about writing something but... Yes, I'm lazy - but don't tell anyone. ;)
Thanks honey! I'm really excited - printed it in hard copy today, so I have a really fat bundle of paper on my kitchen table...makes it so much better somehow!
I think we may have gotten off on slightly the wrong foot. I tend to have a habit of sticking my nose in and telling people things they don't really need to hear, at least not from someone they don't even know.
Anyway, if you need another person to read your novel, I'd love to. I understand if you don't want to let me, but I was recently made redundant, so have quite a bit of time on my hands.
Much as I hate to say it, honesty compels me to admit that you're right. However, I have a bad habit of using LJ for my cuddles and reassurance, and my therapist and RL friends for my common sense! I should get the hang of the fact that that's not always necessarily going to be true, and I do appreciate that you spent time giving me your thoughts and advice. I tend to know things are true, even when I don't want to hear them :)

If you PM me your email I'll send the thing over.
