I have tourette syndrome and I don't swear gratuitously! Don't make assumptions about me or the disorder I deal with! I have been thinking about starting with something different than a huge intro. Btw my real name isn't Lestat lol.

Well my voice is very certainly unique. I'm not sure If I can call myself brilliant. I guess that's for someone else to decide. I have a very original idea and will follow the advice about waiting til I have a finished manuscript. I have a small intro posted in the scrivenings section asking for a c...

I am writing a fiction book.

Does anyone know how I could find a good literary agent? I'm looking to get published and I heard you need one (unless you self-publish).

Thanks. I really appreciate it. I like the idea of the immediate challenge and I'll implement that.

I would really appreciate some critiquing of my work so far. I have only got a little bit and this is my first attempt at writing a book so go easy on me. this is just a little intro and part of an opening scene. It has been said to me that the most entertaining stories are those of tragedy. However...
