Hello, all:
As the month goes on, I plan to update my novel excerpt on a fairly regular basis to give glimpses into different parts of the story. I thought that if others were doing the same thing, we could use this thread to let people know that new excerpts were available to be read.
I haven't put an excerpt up yet -- I have to transfer the story file from my ancient laptop to my iMac in order to do that -- but should have one up in the next day or so.

My first excerpt is up. It occurs about 1700 words into the novel.
Hope y'all like it.

I changed my mind. The excerpt that's up now starts at the very beginning of the novel. It just makes more sense that way.
I'll post updates periodically.

I have a excerpt of my novel up... nothing like a character that sort of tells you their life story in bits and peices like you are reading the book yourself... definetly a first for me.

My excerpts are posted with somewhat random regularity to the blogspot site in my .sig file.
I change the Nano site excerpt to whatever I wrote that day, if I remember to do so.
Even if, as is the case today, it's a bit drively. Mleh.

I've got an excerpt up. Probably won't change too often since I'm already quite abit behind. But at least it includes the people who I said I would put in my novel. Maybe my next excerpt will be when I complete a dare.

I've got mine up. It's really technical driven (technical being the part that no one ever really reads about air traffic controllers and Airbusses full of people suddenly crashing into James Richardson International Airport) but it's ok for setting the tone of the novel.

I have one up now. It just shows what these people are like.
However on Monday I'll change it to show what some other characters are like. Mondays will be ah... Cute.
I nearly got a tooth ache writing that one...

My excerpt is just introducing my characters. I seem to be writing approximately the slowest story ever. Haha.

Really nice stuff! Great characterization -- it grips you from the first sentence. :-)

I might... not... end up changing mine... but we'll see how satisfied I am with following stuff.

I just updated, here:

Female MC and male MC interaction in dark woods on a moonlit night. And no, it's almost certainly not what you think it is.

I just updated mine, and its the first chapter of my novel. Woot!
Yeah.. there is a lot of swearing in it. Hence why I got nervous of saying it out loud. Heh.
