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.

lol. Chris used to torment me in the SFC forums with ugly llama pictures. I don't get it either. But over the years I've learned that he is a bit mentally unstable.
