EricT808 2 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hi all, My name is Eric Thompson. I live in Oregon. I've recently finished a personal project - a fiction book loosely based on my father leaving when I was young with some fantasy elements. I hired someone to do an editorial assessment and received both encouraging compliments on the work as well as constructive feedback. Now I need to continue taking further steps to bring it to life. Hoping to find some beta readers at some point but also being patient to let God's timing work itself out here. I'm new to the all of this and am here to begin my journey of meeting wonderful people, learning from others and, hopefully, offering help and friendship where I can. I'm the father of three and husband to my wife for 21 years now. Happy to share much more with whomever God brings to my path. Looking forward to meeting some of you. :-) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
