...a thread on posting the first two sentences of your novel to get feedback. But I can't find it again. Can anyone help me? I didn't just dream this did I?

And, yes, I'm new with all the usual hopes and aspirations, insecurities and so forth.

Thanks for your help.

A moderator will most likely post a welcome to you and advise you to read the Newbie Guide, etc., and maybe they can find it. I searched, but to no avail. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

But I don't think you dreamed it, because I remember a similar challenge some time back. Of course, it might be real and you could have dreamed it. :)

Oh: and :welcome:!

Welcome and greetings, fellow new person! :hi:

I don't recall a 'first 2 sentences' feedback post, but I have seen a 'one sentence summary' on the Main Share Your Work Board. I could have sworn I saw a 'first 200 words' feedback thread, but I've lost where it was! Maybe we're both dreaming things. Argh!

Here is the thread where you can post the first sentences of your novel.

And here is the Share Your Work subforum where you can swop critiques with other authors in your genre.

But, just as a FYI, you're more likely to get feedback if you interact a bit with folks first. People who show up and say "I want people to help me!" without showing that they're willing to help others in return are less likely to receive a wholehearted response to their requests.
