At the write-in last night we were saying that it would be good to know when people posted new excerpts in their Author Profiles.
At this point, I know that Ziggi, WordTraveller and I have posted excerpts. Has anyone else?
Tell us here, and then we'll all run over to your profile and check it out.
Remember, though, if you are giving any kind of feedback in November, that everyone's Inner Editor has been given the month off!

Swans are beautiful creatures; elegant and slender. They look magnificent, and are often associated with love.
But if you've ever seen a swan up close, you'd know what they were really like. They're vicious and will attack almost anything that gets in their way. The Romans used to use them as guard dogs.
Swans are attacking me.
e-mail me if you would like the entire intro. i'd rather not post it on here.

Littlemisslizzy, it's fine that you posted here -- and ooooh! intriguing beginning! -- but there is another thread, called "Writing Swap", for people who want to share excerpts privately, by e-mail. Here's the link:

Nice, Welestra. Gotta love the scary cult wackos in fantasy fiction! But, I think your Prince is in trouble: the evil chalice is whispering to him! *shock*
Wow, Carasin. Very powerful. When the little boy tracked his father's blood in footprints across the carpet? Wow.
Mmmm, infojunkie, an identity mystery. Cool. *wants more* ----------

Gale: great excerpt. Very intriguing - and mysterious! I want to know who those two mystery figures were!
Infojunkie: Suspenseful excerpt. Is she or isn't she the one? I love it.
Viorica: Good excerpt. Definitely want to know who the stranger is and what his deal is.
TristanPEJ: Great world building! I like how the two races you write about are kind of a twist on a common race. Very original stuff, I liked it.
girlwithapearl Intriguing excerpt. Lucky and Stephanie seem so different, but look like they'll get along. Can't wait to hear how it turns out.
Carasin Mysterious and really well written. I love it when the characters do something a little out of the ordinary for them, and not entirely sure why. Great stuff.
