Anybody interested in a sounding board partner?
I'm NOT ready for a beta reader or critique partner or even another round of SYW.
If you are ready in helping and being helped in juggling plot threads, POV choice for a scene, overly complicating things, and so forth, let me know. Verbally explaining something related to writing to someone else, having them ask a question or two, and refining my thoughts are very beneficial for me, and I'm happy to try to return the favor. This would be similar to what some writers get from a local writer's group.
Although I'm not requiring to work with someone who is published, I'd prefer someone who isn't quite a rank beginner. I have no published works. My WIP is science fiction, but I have other projects on the back burner in mainstream fiction and essays. I read science fiction, fantasy, mystery, adventure, Christian, and mainstream fiction, with a sprinkle of non-fiction. In terms of craft, I follow Jane Friedman and Austin Kleon and like the style and terminology of the podcast, Writing Excuses.
You're welcome to view my website via my sig. If you're interested in conversing for a few minutes to determine if this is a good fit, we can do so through AW to start with.
If this fits, I can handle discussion via phone, Skype or Discord and start with 2-4 times a month, most likely Saturday late morning or early morning weekdays CST.
