NOVEL PROBLMES

I wrote this novel, (Texas Triangles) while I was still working nights at CPS. I was also substitute teaching at Bryan Adams High fairly regularly and did the writing through a group that met every other tuesday at the Farmers Branch Library Branch. Incidently that is where I met Traveler Trisha, later her husband Jean Francois and Raf and ( Read more... )

You could start a new LJ site called Texas Triangles and just cut and paste each chapter, so they would be separate entries. Then we could read and comment on each chapter.

You could start with a chapter outline? That would let us see the whole at once.

This is a great idea and I am going to open a separate Texas Triangles LJ site. I want to make it accessible to special users only and there may be other things you know about setting something like this up that will make it work in a more useful way. I've already been able to do some really good consultation with Gail and Charla and see this as probably working out pretty well. Not necessarily going chapter by chapter.

Thanks for helping me get started on this and I will call you today.

Hey Scott,

I just got back from The Dominican Republic. I thought of how much you would love it there, the island was beautiful and the people, poor but awesome - some of the happiest people I have ever met! Had a great time and I managed to keep my clothes own! :)
anyway, if there is anything I can do to help with the book, let me know. I liked it the first time I read it...
