    darrylsharp: As no.1 writer I am sure you get asked to read others works.
    I am uneducated and dyslexic which means my writing style is poor with very bad english. Having said that I have great feed back that my stories have great concepts. I have just posted "dream bouncing" mistakes and all. my ouestion is the storey line good enough if cowritten to get exsposure?
    I am a private pilot 450 hours.

    think about it and
    JUST BE! -

    sopranodebs: Hi Fred, congratulations on your win. It was always a foreseeable outcome though, so no surprise to me. I am really thrilled for you.

    I also wanted to let you know that I have revised my Novel. You reviewed last year and commented that it had the potential for a great story but the grammar was attrocious . I beleive I have improved and would love for you to take another look when you have the time. Same book "The Hill" I have done the Prologue and chapters 1 through 5. I really hope you can find the time but will respect if you can't. Thanks Fred, and once again congrats. Hope it will be my turn one day soon. -
    knowledge: Fred,

    Congratulations!

    I hope that you are looking into publishing your works. Look into self-publishing at Creatspace with Amazon.

    Thank You My Friend,
