You see, if I actually work on this novel series, this is going to be a pivotal chapter in one of the later novels. Yes, that means that spoilers are HUGE. I can't imagine that anybody I know would actually want to read any novels I put out, so if you just read a chapter, I'd be happy. Be forewarned, though: very heavy Christian influence. In fact, the entire series will be, so if that offends, then you're better off not reading. But if you are as open-minded as you say you are, then reading it wouldn't hurt you, right?
I'm also thinking of placing this in the writer's sub-forum in the guild. I don't know how people will react to the content, but considering that I'm an original member, it shouldn't be a problem, right? I'll put a disclaimer in there, as well. It couldn't hurt to get more opinions.
I'm going to try to go through it tomorrow and edit whatever is needed. It won't be a fantastic chapter, considering that I'm only one person, and I have limitations to my understanding when it comes to certain grammatical rules. I also didn't make up an outline or anything, and just wrote whatever came to mind. It's also not very long, either. So, if you can put up with that, I'd be thankful. I'll make sure to put it up as soon as possible!
(possibly through Sendspace, considering it's in a certain format that wouldn't translate well to LJ)
I must say, I really enjoyed myself. Granted, this isn't the correct way to write a novel, but it worked out in the end, right?
