To ask for volunteers to read my sci fi as I go through its last pass, or not to ask for volunteers to read through my sci fi as I go through its last pass.

If I asked for volunteers, would anyone even volunteer?

I am hugely chicken re: sharing my work, especially something so different than what I used to write.

Will debate this with myself further, but am curious if anyone would, um, you know, volunteer?

Hmmm.

I have thought about using one of those critique places out there (like Absolutewrite, but I haven't enough posts because I prefer to lurk, you know), but I don't want just ANYone to have a crack at smacking my words about, you know?

Goal is to have it turned into This Unnamed Publisher I am Targeting by November 1 though I am crap at keeping deadlines. But that is the one I have (before Nano which I will do this year because my Fort Worth Area peeps are awesome and we are already chattering about it).

Hmmm.

Well time to go back to work so I will ponder this further.

And look, another post from me! That is two last week and one this week, so far! What is this madness?

What kind of crit are you looking for? Some of us (well, me) are shit on actual science.

LOL! That is kind of what I am looking for... I am trying to put the science into the fiction and making it make sense. Been reading all I can find time for and keep thinking of ways to tweak the darn thing so it is more scifi-worthy. It is HARD!

The genre scares me a little, honestly.
