I am in one of those periods where I have time to work on one of my 5 or 6 (actually more0 unfinished writing project. This Fragments and Feedback group has been suggested as I may not have the ability to participate as a full critiquing member.

I an uploading most of my works on my website that I am reconstructing as I have changed ISPs so that i have more website space. Many of the unfinished works are on pages that are not linked from the rest of the site. This, I hope, keeps them from being considered to be published, yet allows selected people to read and give me feed back at their leisure without clogging email. Since the pages are unlinked from the rest of the site, I have to provide the exact URL.

I currently have 3 projects that for which I am beginning be motivated to work on again. I am not sure which I want to do though. I might try to work on several at the same time (Is that a bad idea?)

Anyway, one of the projects is very involved and I actually had set it up to write it in cooperation with other authors. (Do people do that here?) This one is publicly linked and the URL is
http://users.pghconnect.com/henrytj/Writing/GeodianWarz/

Again, I have other projects that i would like to get some feedback on but some of them are rather mature in nature. (not sure how to handle that.)

I am not so much looking for help with typos as I have a friend that occasionally helps me with that. (and there are a lot of typos because I am somewhat dyslexic)

What I am primarly looking for is some feedback that the story idea is even worth working on.

Thanks,
Henry Tj

If/when you have something specific, I'd be willing to help you out. Mature themes are not a problem.

If you are still learning then all of them are worth working on. All at once, well, I guess that would depend on how well you know your characters. I personally have 2 projects at the moment, a short story and a novel. The short story delayed the novel for a couple weeks, but since I don't have a deadline it doesn't matter.

I would suggest you pick your favorite and go for it.
