[QUOTE="Reba, post: 2019253, member: 213349"] don't trust online writing groups? Plus there aren't any writing groups in our little town. Trust me, I've looked (and tried to start one- it didn't work). I've written a full-length novel, and now I'd like somebody to read it. I'm not even looking for a full critique, just a general "Overall is it interesting?" I know it needs work. But everybody I ask is like "I don't have the time" (or in the case of my little sister "I'll read it when its published) I had a few people take copies... three months later and "I haven't even picked it up yet (two cases lost the copies I gave them). I am very frusterated and angry and I have no idea what to do now. I work but barely earn enough money to pay the bills. There's no way I can hire a professional editor. All I want is some stinking recognition at this point!!!! Any advice would be great. [/QUOTE]
