If you're so inclined, you can go to Gather.com and give it a read. It's in the First Chapters contest and it's entitled 'Lance: A mid-life tale.' Frankly, and as expected, I'm taking a major beating from the critics (but hey, you never succeed unless you try). If you wish to comment on it and/or vote on it, you'll have to join the site. It's free but that's totally up to you. I just thought you might be interested to give this a read.
And for all of you aspiring writeres (Jolly, Eric..etc...) it's not a bad site to publish on. You can join various writers groups and get a lot of feedback (good and bad) on your work from others around the world.
