A few posts down I have the old 'first chapter' of my novel 'Eden's Rat'. I have made some revisions in the chapter order recently, going back to the way I originally wrote it. I had tried to move the action forward to an earlier position in the story, but decided that it just wasn't as good a story that way.
So you can read the fourth chapter below, and soon I will get around to posting the current first chapter.

Eden's Rat update
My fantasy novel 'Eden's Rat' is nearing completion. I am on what I hope is the final revision. Mainly, I am cutting excess wordiness, playing with comma placement, and correcting the occasional misplaced punctuation mark.
I have had my first 5 pages and a query letter posted on YALITCHAT this last month, getting feedback from other writers. Several people have also read the whole novel and made useful comments. I noticed that they all tended to make similar comments, thus the current revision.
