Hello, I haven't been in the guild in AGES...two years to be exact. Life seems to be taking me to new places and seeing new faces. Recently however I've been getting back into writing cause I really enjoy it very much. I'm also looking at trying to get published with in the next few years or so...cause spite my efforts life seems to want me to be unhappy these days.

However, I find myself to be running into massive writers block and I feel what I've done with the story is losing the reader. I seem to have 40 pages of nonsense that I wish to gut out.

I'm presenting this topic cause I'd like to get in touch with some really avid writers/story makers/plotters/readers/etc. who would like to be open about book writing discussion and story making. I would like to take it off guild to skype or some form of communication like PMs. I'd like as much advice as I can get and opinions on my book.

(I have to confess that I also have a case of author paranoia. I did have my book posted earlier but for reasons I took it down cause I got scared about my ideas being taken from me before it was copyrighted. No my book is not the best nor better than most but I've been told its pretty good. I'm not too sure. I'm looking for trust worthy people to handle it. If you tell me I can trust you though I tend to take your good word for it. This book is my life. I don't want it stolen. I feel any writer feels that way at times. I respect peoples work and just want it to be respected as well. So I'm trying to reach out for help. Fair enough?)

The problems I'm running into is my book feels like it's slowed down to the point that I've lost the reader by drowning them in information that kinda takes away interest from the book plot, etc. Since I'm also suffering writers block, its not a good sign cause I feel I can't pursue the story the way it is. I need help pushing it forward. If there's anyone out there up to discussing things, please shoot me a message. I'm desperately trying to get in contact with other writers and readers for advice, tips, and opinions.

Thank you much for your time and I hope to hear from someone.
