First 3 chapters

    Hello guys,

    Been a while since I've been on these forums so I thought I'd come back on to say hello, and to shamelessly plug the first three chapters of my novella. I'm cheeky I know.

    I've been very busy the last few weeks knocking out between 1-3k words a day. As this is my first time working on something like this I'm going to keep it as a novella. I'm aiming for 40 to 50k words over all so I expect to be finished in the coming weeks. Anyway, I thought I'd share my first 3 chapters with you guys and see what you think. I've got them posted on the website Goodreads.com which by the way is very good and I recommend you check it out if you haven't already.

    Here's the link: http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/288711-dylan-james

    I hope you enjoy it and if you get a taste I'll link you to where you can get the full thing for your e-reader once I finish and publish it. Daunting I know but I'll get there.

    Bye for now,
    - Daleno

    "very quiet and almost always empty despite a few struggling workmen and the weather-worn women who coerce them into buying them drinks in exchange for some warmth in these cold winter nights. The few whiskeys I had consumed so far were working as God intended and coursing their merry little way into my head.."

    Pure gold that line. Lots of effort overall. Could defo do with someone to proof read, simple mistake on ch1 "taking" should be "taken". Last sentence of Ch1 really set the tone. Nicely done.
