My husband read 34 of 45 chapters of my hobby sci fi manuscript so far, and the funniest conclusion he's had is that it's less autistic than he thought.
He said he knew I would do action and fight scenes well, but for the downtime scenes with friends and partners and stuff he was like, "not that I'm saying I didn't expect you to write them decently, but like, you know... and yet holy shit."
Act 2 really hit him hard. He's currently traveling, so for Act 1 he sent me all sorts of audio recordings of his thoughts and gave some good suggestions, like very interested but kind of intellectual about it. But then for Act 2 instead of sending audio recordings he's was like, "We... need to video chat right now, omg." He ended up reading that second act in one sitting and messing up his schedule because of it.
Super excited to read this new masterpiece of yours!
I’m a novice! Certainly not a masterpiece.
Not with that attitude, it’s not! 😂
You'll translate it, right? 🤣
Really made me smile reading about how shocked your husband was that you managed to actually create these scenes in a way that didn't read like they came from the mind of a complete autist.
I feel that I would struggle with that task, but alas, I am not the one and only Lyn Alden.
I really struggle with motivation to read fiction, but I cannot wait to read your book should you ever deem it good or completed enough to release (or simply bow to the incessant requests from those of us who have been so enamored with your non-fiction work).
Wishing you all the best, thrilled having people like you in this space.
Congrats Lyn!
We would all love to read it when you get it finished.
Love this. Can’t wait to read it!
Feedback sounds excellent. You've surprised him. Nice. 🤗
That must have felt really good!
Nice Lyn let me add a scene
this will be a classic that writers reading your book will relate to....
The main characters are walking through a techo dystopian bazaar...
late at night around closing time most shops are over but the more ceedy and deprate shop owners just looking for some final customers.
The main character are looking for a shop they have been told to visit but when they visit the location they see a young child sleeping behind a sign that reads "CHILDREN SHOES NEVER USED"
they wake him up to find out that this is indeed the shop you are looking for but the person you looking for was actually a young computer hardware Prodagy but he has recently been kidnapped
his bother is currently selling all his brother belonging to earn money to go find him. Although our main characters cant help him find his brother at this moment
they can pay him generously for the computer supplys they need to complete their own objectives.
That’s amazing. I hope it’s good. Ursula K Lyn Alden!
Way to go! Can't wait to read it :-)
