Once upon a time... I started a book... that was about - oh... Five years ago? With the recent graduation, I suddenly find myself with time and the passion to really rip the story apart, and put it back together in a beautiful array of completeness... but I'll cut to the chase. I need help. I need advice, opinion, praise, warning - all the like, so that I can write this story. I'm determined and I know there are a lot of gifted writers out there who can help me. I don't promise I will take any and all advise offered, but I will consider all that is shared. I don't publish my writings on this site as a final draft, because... well, it's a book that I eventually intend to try to publish in book format... so I write knowing that most of what I write will be torn apart and put back together. That said, technical corrections about punctuation or spelling are not really what I'm looking for. I need help with my writing technique, character developement, overall story - and so on, but don't worry about the grammer. Though I won't bite your head off if you mention any, of course. I'm sincere when I say, I want to be proud of this book, but I still have a lot to learn, and I would love to count you as one of my teachers.

Likewise, I am fully open to try to give constructive critism, or just to share what I like about their writing! - to any other author who's looking for feedback. Thank you all!

1-15-07 - Here's a thought. I had always sort of intended on telling Edetezine's story, but of course not in Banded because... well it's not about him. However, since the whole prologue is about him... well... does his story sound like one you'd like to hear?
