So uh...wrote a novel...

I know...been a long time since I've wandered in here. I've pretty much dropped from the paintball scene. A bit of spring cleaning kind of rekindled the urge though.

Anyways, in my time away, I was busy completing my senior project for high-school. In my rather poor decision making, which I mistook for wisdom at the time, I decided to write a novel for my graduation project. It was originally supposed to be around 100 pages, double spaced, 12 point font in word. Instead, it wound up being 92 pages, single spaced, in word, which when roughly converted into a standard 6"x4" novel format, is around 215 pages.

Pretty much just a science fiction novel, with a War of the Worlds/Half-Life type theme. It's a sub-story to a much larger story I've had floating around in my head for a couple of years now, and am just starting to put on paper as well.

I'm basically in the editing process right now, taking critique from english teachers, friends, family, etc, and tweaking things here and there. Right now I'm shooting to get it to a real editor by the end of the year, and getting it published. I'm just a tad perplexed on where to get started on that aspect.

So MCB, you guys have a young Sci-Fi novelist in your ranks.
