1/21/04: Off to critique

Word count: 50267 | Since last entry: -519 | This month: 9469

Trimmed the story down to 6600 words, just 10% over the stated limit, and sent it for a quick email critique. (I gave myself a gold star for the 500 anti-words.) Maybe my crit group will suggest some more trims. Even if not, I think I can probably get away with this length.

I like this story a lot. It's not quite up there with "Eagle," I think -- it didn't make me cry -- but it's a good solid story with fear and danger and magic and sense of place, a really evil bad guy, and a couple of good guys who learn and grow.

We'll see how the critique goes.
