First Chapter for Free? I am currently working on a novel, and am approximately 45% of the way through (37,500 words / 100 A5 pages). Working full time, I am unable to finish my story within the next month, and I plan on completing it within the next three-to-five months. During this time, however, I would like to make peo...
