,
How's that heat working out for you? It's been blistering hot and then blustery cold over here in the sunny United of the Kingdom.
It's like being on a rollercoster. Speaking of which the fare has come to town so now things are really booming. It's like there's my own special devil orchestrating all sorts of distractions to lure me away from writing.

But not to worry, there's still plenty of work being done. I'll be dropping by with the next Ranger story within the next week. And there's another after that being revised. AND I'm going through a final edit of my novel.

The thing with novels + life + family + all that delicous TV = me swamped. But to be serious for a moment (I can do that). Writing a novel contrary to popular opinion, is quite the team effort. The writer is like an athlete; appropriate metaphor. The athelete runs the race. (I'm going with the 400m). But there's also the coach, the nutritionist, diet, schedule and competition.
Without all those other elements at play then the athlete isn't an athlete. The athlete is me, some goof just strolling down the lane. So what does this have to with anything?
Because I need you.
I'm running a race and have my team with me. And you can always rely on your team for feedback. When I finish my manuscript I'll need a fresh set of eyes to read it over to root out any of those pesky inconsistencies. If you're of the same nit-picking variety as me and would jump at the opportunity to tear apart another piece of fiction then just reply to this email.
Shoot me some details like your favourite fantasy work and why, and your least favourite and why. What you enjoy the most about a story and what peeves you can't stand. Mine is Mcguffins. Ugh.
Until the time when I'm ready to put my madness out into the world, I've got some other pieces for you to pick your nits over (?). Check it out.
And if that doesn't keep you busy then I don't know what else to do! Hehe.
Enjoy the rest of the week and have a great read.
