I’ve got a novel in my head. And I’m going to start discussing it in the general, even if I avoid the specifics.

A while back, I wondered about the idea of sharing snippets of a novel on the blog. And some people do. 

I am reluctant. Not because I think anyone could pick up a gauntlet I’ve thrown and make it fit their hand, but because I know the world is full of nasty, advantage-taking proprietary purse-snatchers. With my luck, someone would Jack my idea, write a horrible novel, and get a book deal because of some magical connection they have.

So yes. I’m paranoid.
