I Want Reader Opinions — Can You Help Me Out?

Crowdsourcing: Which one of these books should I write?

As some of you know, I don’t always read comments because I’m a really anxious person. Other people’s negative opinions tend to take up too much room in my head. They get a lease, buy flimsy IKEA furniture and move there to live.

But this time, I’m going to. I need your opinion on something.

So, I got back on Vocal Media this month because there’s a new challenge I wanted to participate in.

It’s the Fantasy Prologue challenge, meaning you need to write the first chapter of a fantasy book. The only other requirement was that you needed to start with this specific sentence:

There weren’t always dragons in the Valley.

And since I’m a bit of a beginner dinosaur fan, I got a couple of new ideas. Because you know, dragons are what people thought dinosaur bones were, before we knew about dinosaurs.

This challenge gave me a way to bring a dinosaur/dragon to life and show people something about Argentina (one of the best countries in the world to be a paleontologist), so I was excited.

I wrote two stories in the last couple of days and submitted them to the challenge.
