OK, so far the support has been nearly overwhelming and mostly very positive. For that I'm grateful but if 60% of the support comes with a caveat that I need an editor well so be it.

I'm not griping. I knew I needed an editor but I wanted to get the first chapter up and let people read it before I begged for help... yeah that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

So if anyone out there has read my first chapter and might be willing to help edit future chapters, please let me know who else you have worked with and what stuff you have already edited so we can see if we may be good for each other.

Geez, I sound like I'm looking for a date.

Thanks again for reading my little story!

OK, so I finally did it. I have been threatening to post my own stories for years now and I always chickened out right before sending but yesterday I went ahead and posted.

Now all day I've been nervously checking the stats and I am truly amazed and humbled at the response.

I already got the dreaded "1" vote from someone but luckily a vast majority are giving me 8's, 9's and a few 10's. But when I got a "keep up the good work" from RoustWriter, that was a great surprise and a lot of the nerves are now gone. I find myself working a little harder to try and get the next chapter ready and I expect to post later in the week.
