Hey there, fellow writers. I need an editor! I have a pretty keen eye for detail, but I'm certain there are mistakes in my latest erotic creation.

I need a taskmaster! I always find that when someone reads over my stuff and says, "That didn't work for me," or whatever, it's usually a spot where I winced too, but didn't do anything about it.

I need a man! Because much of this story is written from the man's point of view, I need to know if anything I've written "as a man" is not plausible or just doesn't wash.

Now, the problem is that my latest novella is 170 pages or so. That's a helluva lot of reading for one person. I'd be grateful if someone wants to tackle it, but I'd understand if people might want to only volunteer to read parts.

Please e-mail me if you're interested, but only if you promise not to hold back on your comments. I want picky. I want criticism. I don't want you to be afraid to tell me what you really think. Thank you!

P.S. It's not quite finished, but will probably be ready within the next month.

Indy, I think your comments are exactly what I'm looking for. Don't pull punches with me in regard to my writing, which is one of the few areas I can manage to NOT take things personally.

KillerM volunteered as well and is working on the first chapter. (Thanks again, KM!!) Indy, send me an e-mail when you're ready to start. I know how it is to put that added pressure on yourself to edit someone's stuff when your offline life is hectic. I'm not in a big hurry. The thing took about seven months to write, so a few more weeks isn't going to hurt anything. Plus, I don't think Laurel is ready for it anyway.

I appreciate this very very much.
