Genesis Earth <\/em>is now officially over 50,000 words.\u00a0 That means, by most standards, that it is officially novel length.<\/p>\n

What’s more, I’m on the verge of finishing it.\u00a0 I’m only about 2,000 words from the ending, and despite the fact that this story has hung me up so many times (including right now, in the last chapter), it’s exciting to think that it’s almost complete.\u00a0 When it’s done, it will be the second novel that I’ve followed through to the very end.\u00a0 Excellent!<\/p>\n

Now, I need a group of first readers.\u00a0 I’m looking for friends who are willing to read the whole thing (it’s only about 200 pages double spaced), write down their comments, and be honest in their reactions to the story.\u00a0 The comments need to be written (preferably electronically) because I won’t start the rewrite for a few months.<\/p>\n
