The beginning of my YA Supernatural novel
Decided to finally be brave and share the beginning of my novel to get some feedback on! I've posted before and said that the only people that have read my stuff are friends and family. While outside opinions are scary to me, I think they're necessary, so thank you in advance to anyone that reads this!See More
Cailin Cecchini replied to the discussion 'Comments, please, on possible book cover!' in the group Novelists (Struggling or Not)
"I would go with the second. Simple fonts look more professional. The shading and color fade on the first one looks like something I would do in grade school for my book report covers. The picture is gorgeous!"

Dear Cailin,Turn around. No for real, do it. See those stacks of paper on the floor? The ones hiding under yesterday’s bra and that awful shirt Mom got you last year? That’s your book. And you know what? The first chapter blows. And you are totally procrastinating on the rewrite.What the hell are you waiting for? No one but you can do this. You hate where your life is right now, right? You may be able to fool everyone else in thinking you’re just being casual about life at the moment, but I…See More

Dear Cailin,
Turn around. No for real, do it. See those stacks of paper on the floor? The ones hiding under yesterday’s bra and that awful shirt Mom got you last year? That’s your book. And you know what? The first chapter blows. And you are totally procrastinating on the rewrite.

Meg Waite Clayton said… We're delighted to have you in the novelist group, Cailin! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. We save the wall for discussion, so please refrain from linking to blog posts there, but do add them in the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread.
And we do a live chat every Wednesday at 1EST; instructions on how to participate are in the "Our Water Cooler Wednesdays" box near the top of the group page.
