I'm talking about a novel, not a screen play.
I've been wracking my brain as to whether or not to ask you to,
when you have time to look a rough "main character" design" story outline/synopsis (two or three paragraphs), and a general description of what I'm trying to do, however, I don't really know if that's "kosher," or rather if that's necessary. ( You know the whole, "go with it, baby!")
The thing is, you're a pro. and I'm not (yet [heh]). I've spoken with other professionals. I've had other pros. take a look at what I'm working on, and I have gotten a "thumbs up."
The thing is, though, most of my writing credibility is in academia. I write damn good analytical thesis papers, documents, and essays.
I once talked to a dude who wrote for TSR (the fantasy rpg comp.) He talked me out of becoming an English major. Told me that it would the worst mistake of my life, if I wanted to be a writer.
Mainly, what I do in the form of creative writing, currently, is poetry, in the form of free verse, with a dash of beat poetry. Every year I buy the Poet's Market and stare at it. That is the one area where the lighter side of my being shows throw. E.A. Poe, I ain't.
