Anybody wanna be my beta reader?
Apr. 3rd, 2008 03:43 pmSo I just thought I'd give this a shot and see if anyone on my flist is interested in helping a crazy writer gal.
I'm working on this story for my creative writing class, and I would love to have someone to bounce ideas off of and help me with the plot of the story, because it's kind of driving me crazy. The basic setup is these two brothers in their twenties just after their mother has died. Edward, the older brother, has to come home and deal with his mother's funeral and taking care of his autistic brother, Oliver. I'm absolutely in love with the story, but it's also kind of driving me crazy because
a) I don't write in first person a lot, and I'm doing that for this one
b) I'm still getting to know these characters and their personalities
c) I'm desperately trying to avoid turning into a cliche, or Rain Man, or something...
So, would anyone be interested in helping me out? Or even just reading through what I have of the story so far and telling me what you think?
