CRITIQUE GROUP

The story I need critiqued is called "All I Want for Christmas" which is going to be featured in "HO HO HO and Mistletoe" series at Cacoethes Publishing. Feel free to check out the site. There is a link provided on the right side of my page for that. I am in the beginning stages right now so I am crammed for time because it is do on Halloween day. I will try to get the rough draft out to my critique group on October 1st. If it is not finished by this time I will submit what I have that way there is time for reworking it.

Here is the synopsis:

Daniel has been in love with his boss Conny Hutchison for nine long years. Back then he was little more then a boy but even as a man grown Daniel hasn't been able to move on.

Conny's wife Marissa is a cheating harridan who trapped her husband with claims of a false pregnancy. Conny has always been a pushover until proof hits him square in the face. He finds Marissa in his bed with another man and finally gives her the boot.

No man should be alone for the Holidays and Daniels spent to many seasons pining for a love that can never be. Resolved to love his boss from afar he is elated when Conny announces his divorce from no good Marissa.

Finally he sees his chance to go after the love of his life. Now all he has to do is to convince Conny that loving him is anything but wrong.


The story is due out for release around Christmas time. If you are interested in being part of my group please notify me at nudjinneration@hotmail.com or sagewhistler@gmail.com. If you feel comfortable enough to put it here you can add your interest in the comments section.

Thanks,

~Sage~

Progress?

Yes. Torn is finished, and though I am fending off anxiety attacks about how it will be recieved I have confidence that my editor will direct me " quite nicely" to correct any large mistakes.

Currently, I am working on a short story for "Ho Ho Ho and Mistletoe" which will be part of the Holiday series.

After that its back to pounding out The G-Stain which is giving me fits with the execution.

I've been asked if I wanted to Publish 'Pet' but I've put a hold on that story so I can work out the kinks. I can't forsee an immediate solution to the problems I am having.

Other then that my old laptop crashed so I bought a new one. I said goodbye to about fifty or so ideas which had exclusively been written on it. Yes, I could find a someone to download my information but I simply do not have the time or money, nor the patience with all the computer problems I have had in the past few months. This new laptop is a blessing and I've got my fingers crossed that it will last for years and years.

I am working on several things besides stories. 1. Promoting myself as a new author 2. College is now back in full swing 3. setting up a website 4. getting my myspace page the way I want it
