I've looked over the       complete and incomplete mss. on my hard drive (and they weren't published) and       I think about 30 to        40% somehow suggest science-fictional in the first sentence, though I have a       novel where the POV character is an alien that doesn't.              I think it's an inability to learn to blame for lack of publication. Setting       the scene issue was just one fault of many.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
