I started contributing 15% of my income to my 401k and another 10% towards buying discounted company stock and now it feels like my paychecks are lighter than air, nevermind that I'll still need to open a roth and dump $6000 into it before april

It almost makes me not want to move out of my parent's place anymore since a $1400 a month apartment will be like 35% of my net income

Yo, I read through some of the thread (I feel like I've been in a 32 hour coma) and am glad you're still writing and getting feedback. I have more Lighthouse stuff, but to be frank, it's not up to snuff. I'm close to scrapping the entire project and starting over with something fresh, but in the mean time, I've been working on something else.

Almost the last two years, I've been workshopping some ideas for a novel, and it has only recently been coming together. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to post an excerpt or two and see what you think. It's not the same kind of fantasy stuff that the lighthouse stories were (at least, not what I've written so far), but it's heavily character-focused, so I think you'll recognize the voice.

Anyway, I welcome any criticism. Out of everything I've written for the novel so far, this is what I would consider the most self-contained, in that you get a feel for the characters as it goes along. It does suffer from a lack of context, but I can only do so much.

Anyway, hit me with it. Although, this is one of the few things I've been working on that is actually really important to me, so try not to totally ruin my life by tearing it to shreds. Or do, I don't care, I'm already drunk.
