I was thinking of writing like myths/legends from my world of a novel series I'm slowly but surely working on. I was thinking of posting them here in the Articles section, and get feedback. Kind of like alpha readers, and maybe if they're marked For Sale maybe the series will catch the eye of a publisher and this would motivate me to finally get cracking on the darn thing.
Comments/Suggestions?

I wouldn't post it publicly if you're wanting to get them published traditionally. I'd go with the critique circle or with someone via email.

We used to post hints and people had to guess who's entry each one was. Then they had Brick Throwing - as in as subtle as - with a direct link. We stopped hinting after the challenges, and started just throwing bricks.

Just to add to the brick throwing definition...It's posting a link to your Challenge article so that other Faithwriters can have access to the article for critiquing and feedback. Here's a link to explain how to throw a brick. If you want feedback, brick throwing is the time to request it.

I love to write. Nothing escapes the crush I have on the written word. I'm hooked on words!! "Let words bewitch you. Scrutinze them, mull them, savor them, and in combination, until you see their subtle differences and the ways they tint each other." Francis Flaherty
