      Have you ever considered participating in National Novel Writing Month? Doing so might help you finish it before some kind stranger gifts you 50k :)

        I have. I usually get a few thousand words into it before life smacks me upside the head and forces me to focus on paying the bills again. At that point all my energy gets sucked into resolving whatever new crisis has come up.

      Oooh, what's your novel about? What genre is it?

        Science fiction, with a slight nod toward Asimov's Empire novels. It focuses on the challenges faced by an independent trader forced to adapt when things don't always go as planned.

          Sounds pretty cool! If ever you need a proof reader I'm happy to help :P Although I'm not great with grammar and spelling so it would be purely just testing how awesome ghe story is :D

            I appreciate the offer. Feedback from alpha readers has been positive, but what I really need is an editor to help me pare down the word count. A typical chapter runs between 15-30k words. I'm going to have to break the story into a trilogy.
