Okay. Some of you may have read my recent posts in reference to the original novel series that I began last year called Bloodkin. Others of you may simply know about it from outside LJ. It's the story of a vampire named Gurad Fayne, his family, friends, and ultimately (one hopes) the story of how redemption lands on his head and knocks him unconscious.

Anyway. Last week, I finally finished getting all the major plot points in order for the re-write of the entire thing from scratch. After Christmas, I plan to begin working on the Bloodkin Outline v 3.0. (already outlined it twice...which might be a slight indication of how problematic this story has been from its outset) My goal is to have the outline complete in early February. Starting in late March/April I will be looking for a small committee of individuals willing to read the chapters as I produce them.

I am not asking for a beta, just people who would be willing to read my drafts and assorted ramblings about the process of writing them. I would probably be posting them here for a custom friend's group or something. I have found that an audience is helpful to me in breaking through blocks *cough* Most of the time anyway, so I'm hoping that this will help me avoid some of the pitfalls I fell into with the last version of Bloodkin which tended to stall about once a week. For anyone who hasn't figured this out yet, I am a Christian, and my faith tends to be present in my original work, so the story deals with themes of grace and redemption in a manner consistent with my belief system. If that will bother/offend you, please don't feel obligated to read it. Any takers please comment here so that I can add you to the custom group.

I'd love to read it. Vampire stories always interest me and I already know I love your writing.

Me! Me! Me! I want to read! Love vampires, and since we share the same faith, I'd love to see how it plays out in your writing. Can I be on the special list?

I'm happy to volunteer! You probably could have guessed that, but anyway. Hops hops raises hand pick me pick me. :D

I would love to read this. I've been curious about it ever since you let me read it some time ago.
