I just emailed the first seven chapters of my novel to everyone who agreed to give it a look. If you didn’t receive them, then I must have accidentally overlooked you or didn’t have a valid email for you (when you comment, I’m the only one who sees your email). Thanks to everyone who is participating!
get back to the World Series
You sent me a copy of a baseball game! It was boring! I hate you!
Hey, Texas won! SarahK must be happy – but she probably woke Frank on the couch with her cheering. More coffee during the day, Frank.
Is this a ‘humorous’ sci-fi novel? I can’t imagine you writing any other kind of material. The British would love you.
I deent git no steenk’n book.
Wassup wit dat?
I’ll wait until after it’s published – then I’ll criticize it.
If it’s Science! Fiction, I’ll probably not read it. Unless it’s funny Science!
Jimmy,
It is not a comedy. I plan to write a science fiction comedy novel eventually, but it’s not this one.
If its not too late, I’ll take a look at it. I would hate to miss out on the beginning of something big. I still regret snubbing Tom Clancy.
That’s good, Frank. Because you’d have to go a long way to beat stuff like this:
“Is this a dead man, doctor?”
“Very dead, Mr. Spock.”
“He’s not only dead, his brain is gone.”
But I bet you could.
Would you send me the Cliff Notes? I’m fairly busy at the moment.
Whee! I’m a beta-tester! I justified the right margin and added page numbers to make it look more “booky,” and put the whole thing in an official-looking notebook. The actual reading will commence during lunch hour.
I’d love a chance to review it. I may have to give it only 3-1/2 stars though because it abruptly ends.
Congrats, Frank! I don’t read much fiction, sciencey or otherwise, so I wonder if I’d be helpful. Is it a “good story” kind of sci-fi or is it a “his oiqij lfewed around her keug which made her laugh” kind of sci-fi?
I’m currently in prison so I’d appreciate 7 chapters of a book telling me how to break out. Or better yet, how about a 7 layer cake with a file in it?
I’ll be the answer is “no.” And I’ll bet the title is “The audacity of dopes.”
I missed the offer. I would be glad to look at your book.
I read it last night. Good stuff. I died a little when it ended.
I’m still trying to come up with suggestions more substantial than pointing out minor typos and grammar.
Cheers,
