Warbird - Beta read musings
Sep. 7th, 2011 12:43 pmThanks to a massive cock-up with our phones at work, I've found myself with a great deal of free time to play with Warbird. I might even get signifigant chunk of it down prior to NaNoWriMo's start this year.
Now, last year's project got its own LJ page at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
triumviratenano, allowing me to post my daily work for readers to comment on. I'm wondering if I should set up the same for this project, like I have for a couple of others, or perhaps just break down and create a generic LJ Beta read account so I don't have to keep asking whether you want to sign up to read my next Work in Progress.
[Poll #1776669]
On seperate note, given that I'm writing what amounts to a Generic Near Future Baen Books novel, I'm wondering if I should celebrate that fact by making sure the cover I eventually comission is both hideous and has nothing to do with the content. I'm seeing a hot asian chick on the cover wearing a skintight spacesuit and carrying a plasma rifle. [1]
[1] The protagonist is Chinese-American and female, but not hot from her own standards. Definiately not while wearing a standard issue NASA EVA suit. And no plasma rifles (or another directed energy weapons) will be involved.

Beta site now up
Sep. 7th, 2011 07:35 pmAll right, the vast majority (okay, six of you) favor me creating a generic Beta Reader journal, and so I have. If you're interested in reading the first section of Warbird, go friend royceday_beta and I'll friend you back ASAP.
