		<description><![CDATA[Came across the site I Write Like which compares your own writing with more esteemed writers. I uploaded the first 3 chapters of Railroaded and IWL said I write like Cory Doctorow. I then uploaded the first 3 chapters of my WIP and IWL says I write like P.G.Wodehouse. I&#8217;ve never read either of these [...]]]></description>

The problem wasn&#8217;t the themes or ideas, it was the approach I took with the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like it when I see a future idea I had being brought into some kind of reality. No ideas are original, so the idea of a road generating power via solar panels is not ground-breaking in itself but still, it means I&#8217;m not a dribbling idiot&#8230;which is always nice to confirm. I get &#8216;Popular [...]]]></description>

My first ever publication! 365 Tomorrows have published &#8216;Turning a Frontier into a Home&#8217; which is more of a flash fiction story as it&#8217;s only about 350 words. It was originally written for a competition by &#8216;New Scientist&#8216; who wanted flash stories &#8216;about the world 100 years from now&#8216;. So go check [...]]]></description>

So now you can read the opening to this novel, put yourself in an agent&#8217;s position&#8230;and send me a rejection. I&#8217;m blaming the cover letter at the moment.

I don&#8217;t have a title which is annoying as the file is saved as &#8216;Novel 2 &#8211; 1st Draft&#8217; but it&#8217;s better than no file at all.
