Please let me know if you have a rollicking good excerpt. I have one from my Star Wars Clone Wars rpg campaign I'm writing.

Got mine posted! It's what I wrote the first day. Would post a link but I'm having difficulties with my browser; you could get to it through my handle.

I've got an excerpt up - rough cut scene from early on in the story.

I thought yours was funny Garrett - the never ending competition for the Comfy Chair!

I've got an excerpt posted as well. You be the judge as to whether it's rollicking good!

Mine's up. I hope it's thrilling and suspenseful enough! Not terribly long though...maybe I'll replace it later if I come up with a longer bit that's good enough.

Mine's up too. Not very long, but I didn't want to give too much away... My novel has 2 timelines, the synopsis matches the main one but the excerpt is from the secondary one, so they may not exactly make sense if read one after the other...

I just posted a new excerpt. It's the first part of chapter 5 where my animal characters are going out to gather food in preparation for being trapped in their house for a month.

I have an excerpt posted. It's the first 600 words or so, from the POV of my alien.

Nothing written at 12:30 a.m. at IHOP, after an omelet and two mugs of bad black tea, can possibly be considered "rollicking good," but it's there.

Mine is up -- it's actually the prologue to my project, introducing you to a couple of major characters.
