Thrillers

[Stan Miller]

I suppose us thriller writers fit in here. Probably the mystery/crime writers won't mind. If they do we'll just blow 'em up. That's usually the way disagreements get resolved in thrillers.

Anyway, I figured I'd get the first post. Soon this will be hive of activity. Any decade now.

I love psychological thrillers, no actual stuff blown up, just a person's mind.

[Stan Miller]

Those too. Even if there is no actual blowing up. Of things, not people.

Stan, are you writting one? I love to read thrillers, its pretty much all I read. Although it's getting hard to find new ones that are decently written.

Do you have any already published?

[Stan Miller]

Stuff written? Four thrillers completed, repped, on sub. No pub contract yet. One in the oven, at low heat for now.

You?

[Bina Bear]

Wow......

No, I just finished my first book, and that was sort of an accident. I always meant to write a book "one day", but had not planned it now.

So you have 4 completed books ready to go? I know you can't, but I would love to read them.....

[Stan Miller]

No copies while in submission, I've been told.

Post your first chapter in the Writing Critique forum, if it's all shiny and ready for crits.

Hmmm. I am not sure I am ready for that. I have seen what we all do to "samples". I have to admit that a blanket rejection is easier to take. Of course on here I would get honesty and feedback.

Am I ready for that?

Plus, the first chapter is almost 14 pages. Way to long for a "sample".

But I will do it. If you say so. Either the whole chapter, or however many pages you think is appropriate. "Jump in with both feet and be fearless" that is what I claimed I do, right? So I will....B)

I am looking at my chapter right now, and while I totally like it, stand behind it, and would not want to change much of it - it is so different from any of the samples I have read. on here. It seems so plain. So absolutely Non-Literary. Of course, literary was never what I was aiming for. Honesty was. I do think I got that. But I guess that will be up to all of you to decide. ~ Scary ~

I am ready. I am just waiting for someone to tell me how many pages I should post. I most certainly don't want to overstay my welcome, so to speak.
