    Hello Everyone!

    Recently during the month of November, I wrote a 50,000 word novel. I'm currently still working on it, because a published Sci-Fi novel can run anywhere from 70000 words to 120000 words. My minimum goal is 80000 words.

    The main plot arc is finished, and now I plan on getting those extra 30000 words through chapter rewrites, a bit more resolution, and expansion of character backgrounds. I hope to get it published someday after many revisions. This is just a diamond in the rough.

    Anyways, I've attached the prologue for you to read if you would like. There are some attached rules though:

    1. ALL CONTENT IS MY OWN ORIGINAL WORK. I RETAIN ALL LEGAL RIGHTS.
    2. YOU MAY NOT USE ANY PORTION OF MY WORK WITHOUT MY OWN WRITTEN APPROVAL.
    3. YOU MAY NOT RE-PUBLISH, PRINT OR SELL MY WORK WITHOUT MY WRITTEN APPROVAL.

    I believe that covers most of it. Enjoy!

    I don't know - could it read it if it were in Microsoft Word? Alternatively, I could record myself reading it Babyhead, and send the file to you.

    Depending on your version of windows, you may have a program called "text to speech". Take a look in the Control Panel for it.

    Thanks Manic!
    It's been a while since I looked at that story, but maybe this summer I should look at doing the re-writes that I need to get done, as well as lengthening it.... =D

    Thanks for the support.
