I've been reading this site for less than a week and it's already one of my favorite writing resources on the Internet. I hope I can eventually pull my own weight, financially and intellectually. I don't really know what to say here but I don't want to be a lurker, so I'll just babble for a minute:
I'm "C. S. Inman" and I go by Sän, which rhymes with John, and no, I don't care if you use the umlaut. I'm completely unpublished, and even though I've finished a handful of novels, I'm only shopping my first right now. The good part is, since I have no agent to forbid me from reading your work, if you want feedback I almost always have time for a good book (but please only send me something polished--I already read enough first drafts through my critique groups.)
I write in many genres, but usually something mixed with SF/F. Right now I'm shopping a fantasy/western. It's kind of fat at 135k because I'm not skilled at trimming my own work (though I can probably do a swank job on yours). If anyone feels ruthless with their red pen and simultaneously interested in gunslingers and natives riding dinosaurs while they shoot demons, by all means PM me so I can lose ~15K from my manuscript. I told it not to eat all that worldbuilding--it went straight to its thighs!
When I'm not being a writer, I'm being an artist (not the good kind--the indie/web comic kind, haha). If you want kind of an idea, there's a sketch dump for characters/concepts from my current book located here: http://thepussinboots.net/csinman/ill/madcatmtn
Thanks again for being here, all of you--this place is so active, fun, and informative that I keep thinking there has to be a catch. Is there a Forum Curse, like "Whosoever typeth upon these forms and clicketh 'Post' shalt suffer the growth of hair upon his tongue?"
