I'm going to make at least one of my novel ideas into a complete novel. (One that I'd like to attempt to publish.) I'd like to know which one is my best shot. Email/review/PM me with your thoughts.
March 11: Revised and added a bit more to Mortal Limbo.
Look at the authors that I have on my favorites list, they are some of the best poets on FictionPress. They deserve (blatant) praise and adoration for their works. Give them some love.
138 have added me to their Favorite Authors list. I'm truly flattered. (I'm positively beaming, actually.)
