valarltdSo I got this novel.
It's been rejected about 3 times. This tells me there's a problem with it.
I'm too close to the problem.

dakiwiboid read the early draft and gave me some wonderful help. At her suggestion, I have punched up the SF portion of it.
What I need is to improve the romance portion before I send it out.
Apparently, I also head-hop (change PoV) during scenes. This is not something I notice in reading or writing, so watching for that would be helpful, too.
Warning, it is explicitly male/male, and most of the characters are complete rotters.
Drop a comment and I'll send it along.
Only payment I can promise is a copy when we finally get it published.
