Scribbler Chapter One

As I said, on Wednesdays I want to see if I can provide some sort of new goodie or writing sample each week.  Partially because I enjoyed releasing Warbreaker like I did, and partially so that I can involve my readers a little bit more in the process.

So, I'll be releasing a few chapters of Scribbler over the next few weeks.  I won't be releasing the entire book—this one doesn't have a home yet, and we'll be shopping it to publishers later this year.  I can't post much of it (or even send out copies the book to many people) for fear of interfering with that.  But, I can put up two or three chapters for you to look at.

This book was something of an experiment for me.  I wanted to try an actual Young Adult book (my Alcatraz novels are technically middle grade.)  I had a great idea for a magic system and plot, and so eventually I broke down and wrote this chapter.  Once I had it done, I knew I had to finish the book.

So, here you go—enjoy reading it.  Some enterprising people on my forums have already noticed that I uploaded this a few weeks back.  I'm going to have to keep an eye on thinks like that.  :)
