Hi everyone! What a lucky break to find a site like bookcountry.com. I've very excited to begin reading and posting. I've been working on a novel for a while now and have about 14 (disjointed) chapters and am trying to finish the last two chapters. I haven't downloaded it yet, I may edit it a bit more before I do.
I've been a huge book nerd for my entire life, and have written mostly short stories. Non published (yet... In college, part of my major was short story writing, so I have a true love for it. Hence, finishing this novel sometimes feels like trying to get blood from a rock.
My strengths tend to be in my characters, my weaknesses tend to be grammer agreement. Sometimes, I swear, it's as if I missed all of my elementary school grammer lessons. If anyone knows of a free online grammer school, please let me know.
Looking forward to reading your stuff!
