The First 4 Pages - The Gunslinger: The Dark Tower Part 1 by Stephen King
The First 4 Pages - A creative writing critique video series. I read the first 4 pages of published works and you decide if you are compelled to continue reading or not. This is meant to incite discussion about what works and what doesn't in the craft of creative writing. As an aspiring writer, I had often heard of the need to create a compelling opening to my stories. If readers weren't hooked right away, they might dismiss your work entirely. So I thought it would be an interesting experiment to put published works to this same scrutiny.
Experiment #1: The Gunslinger, The Dark Tower Part 1 by Stephen King. This is the revised and expanded version published in 2003 by Signet.

I self-publish comic books and graphic novels (so far) under the Rainy Road Comics/Media imprint. Check out my website at www.rainyroadmedia.com to find out all about my completed work and numerous upcoming projects.

I greatly appreciate (and desperately need) your support!
THANK YOU!
