It has begun

For most of you, what I have to say will be cryptic; so, apologies. The last two years (well almost) I have been posting ancillary documents, called Xenopaedias, about my sci-fi setting. Due to the interest and positive comments, I continued to write more. (As of yesterday, I deleted them due to a great concern that my ideas would be stolen.)
I digress. Several years ago I hit upon an idea for a very short novel. I loved the idea so much I kept it in my head and it formed the basis for one of my Xenopaedias. Instead of writing my four part series, as it is too difficult for me to attempt at this moment (I am not a good enough writer for something so epic), I will be writing the novel I had thought of seven years ago.
The first purpose of this post is to state I am starting a novel any week now. Second, I would like to give heartfelt thanks Hierachy (who was the first to read the first entry), Covenant Jr (who renewed interest in them), Baradakas, Creator, Seareach (for her wonderful criticisms), Avatar (for finally agreeing with me), Sgt Null/DennisRWood, and anyone else who read them. You are the reason they exist, and probably why I am planning on the big novels. Finally, I should finish the novel sometime middle next year. I would like some people to proofread the finished work (who have such experience) - I will pay each of you a week's wage to do so.

Good luck, and I'd love it to read it someday.
That was very kind of you to say that. Shame you never read my Xeno threads, because they were the background to the setting.
