I've got a story I've writen. I was going to sbumit it to lit, but I'm having feelings of wavering confidence. I know they have volunteer editors and all, but I'm not sure if I'm comfortable handing my story over to a stranger who I don't know, or even completely sure if it needs editing (who am I kidding, it probably does). I know Malchah is one of them, I was thinking about asking her to look over my story. Would anyone else here be willing to read it. Not really to necesarily edit it (unless of course there are blinding errors you see that REALLY need to be fixed)..but mostly just to help wth some encouragement?
 
i'm willing to give it a go... Please check your PMs for my email addy, tealsphynx. ;)

I'm also willing if you still need readers. :cathappy:

Catalina :catroar:
The more readers the merrier. I just got back an email reply from Sinn about it, LOTS of encouragement from just one reader!!! I think I may go ahead and submit it afterall :nana:

Having just read tealsphynx's story, it's obvious to me that any waverings are certainly unwarranted.

i know diddly as far as editing goes ... (outside of running a spell/grammar check, and anyone can do that)... but, i read the stories here at Lit, and when they are poorly written, my interest is lost rather early on. my interest was peaked, and i was clicking on the little down arrow of my Word .... LOOKING for the next page. :)

Hot! Hot! Hot! .... loved it ... anxiously awaiting part 2 .. 3 ... 4 .... (infinity ;) )

Thank you for sharing, tealsphynx. :)

P.S. Have you started on part 2 yet?!?
 
I won't have net access at my place for awhile, so I'll only be able to check email/Lit every few days at most, but email me the story! I will definitely give feedback... and I'd love to be one of the first to get to read it. :heart:

Of COURSE you should!!! i've read some of the best ... i've read some of the worst (some which have left me wondering HOW the story was even accepted ... as i clicked on to the next story). Your's is certain to up there with the best, tealsphynx.

You'd be crazy to not share it with the Lit audience.

Hey! Maybe if you submit your story ... i'll finish the one i started a year ago (it's svaed, buried somewhere deep within my PC ... somewhere .. lol) and submit it (totally fictional ... 'fantasy only to me' type stuff ... about a female hairstylist, after hours at the salon ... with a late, male customer .. who seduces her into servicing him with a whole lot more than just a trim ;) )!!! :D (just haven't had time to finish it ... i can't write this type of stuff with kids around ... too distracting ;) ).

I've got part 2 and 3 started. what normally ends up happening is I'll get the hot parts written and things start to flow into a story...then I have problems working into a conclusion, so I've got 2 more that currently have no conclusion, not even a way to work into eachother, yet. All I need is to sit in a hot bath with a sundae and read it over a few times, I'll get there. :cool: Then as they're done I could send out emails to those who have offered to preread...kind of like with the movies. People go and see them before they come out in "selected theaters" then later the movie actually comes out...
 
ooooh!!! ooooh! I wanna read it!!! I can edit too, well, sorta.

Done and Done.
 
I have dispatched an e-mail with my comments, seems quite good to me, although it seemed a bit halty, but that's probably because my writing style is quite the opposite, I prattle without stopping far too much. Heck, look at this post, it's two sentences long!
