First I want to mention a first pages contest over at Guide to Literary Agents. It's a chance for a query critique as well as a first 25 pages critique. It sounds like an awesome prize to me, so you should go check it out.
Next I started writing, ooh it's so scary. I kind of creeped myself out as I wrote the first few pages. Yeah. I'm such a wimp though, that I'm sure most people wouldn't find it remotely frightening. My husband walked in while I was typing and I mentioned that I was scared, and he laughed, "You're such a wimp Mim, it couldn't even be slightly scary."
The thing is that my imagination runs so wild, that I think I can come up with some pretty scary stuff. But don't worry this isn't a horror book (I don't think).
Today I got a great suggestion on my dystopian novel idea, that would help me really set the tone and fix back story issues in the first chapter. That's why I love people to critique my work. It was one of those "Well, duh, why didn't I think of that" moments.
Anyway I'm off to creep myself out again. It's totally dark right now, no lights on in the house. Spooky!

I totally freak myself out too. I think it's the creative person in you. You can see it all so vividly, you're living there. Totally creepified.
That's awesome about the suggestion! I love it when that happens!
I think the more experience I get, the darker I can go.
Looks like a great contest. There's so many lately.
Thanks for the link. I'd love to have a 25 page crit. Wow.
