    [​IMG] Ok, people, as a few of my fellow SPers would know, I intend to submit an entry for the WOTC open novel call for a story entitled Maiden of Pain.

    It will be about a cleric of Loviatar, Faerunian Deity of Pain and I do need some criticism, since I can't possibly post it here.

    Those interested can respond to this topic or PM me and I shall email my intended entry sample to you by this weekend.

    I've just read through your Shura tales to get an idea of how you write, (I've never kept up with the Creativity Surge Forum, but I will now :grin: ) and I must say, color me impressed :)

    I'd love to proofread your tale. My email is in the button above this post.

    Perhaps I could take a look at it... It might even prove to be entertaining. (And maybe you could do in exchange something for me... ;) )

    I have in the past made some feeble attempts at writing. I think that I would be a very good writer if I actually put a great deal of time into it, but I never can find all that. Any way, send it to me at kj7687@hotmail.com please. My mom is like the best editor around and get's paid up to 40 bucks an hour for doing just this sort of thing. I would like to get a chance to try it out myslelf. And besides I could "always use something good to read".

    Aye, I've gotten responses from Virne and Tal...much thanks to the two of them for their criticism. Gave me many a thoughtful nod as I looked over my work again and racked my brain for ideas.

    I await the views of the rest eagerly so that I can drag Eonidas and gang back to the drawing board with better ideas.

    Once again, I thank you for your time. :wave:

    Methinks that you should lead it in a bit more. A bit more at the begining to intrtoduce the setting and everything. Plus a better description of the slaughter and well as more useless and irrelivant information.
