Hey all, first post and first ever attempt at a novel. So I'm sure you can see that I'm a total noob when it comes to any of this.
Seeking out a mentor/beta reader more than anything. Editing would be amazing too as I'm terrible at describing anything short of a "red brick" or "brown hair".
The first draft is done now and I ran it through MSWord to filter out big mistakes; then printed it off and skimmed through it by hand to make some more changes.
Here's some info that may be helpful:
Length: Approx 68000 words
Genre: Probably YA, Fantasy/Sci-fi
Setting: 22nd century, Canada, west coast. (Im aiming for a world where technology sputtered out and plateau-ed. They have fun toys but nothing too Sci-Fi like warp drives and things like that.)
Really uber short description:
Characters get "marked" by a godess and have to stop a nuclear war, inevitably the main character messes it up and becomes the most hated person in existence (even though it wasn't his fault) and uses his super-power-ish abilities from his "mark" to try and fix everything.
Aiming for it to be a series. I'll probably send out chapter one as it seems to be my weakest chapter and see what people can do with it. Any help would be great
Thanks!
