Ok, guys. I really wanted to try this, and I think (hope) I will learn a lot of stuff from this. I hope you guys will help me by honestly critiquing this. What is here is my prologue and almost all of chapter 1. My writing is basically the same all the way through style wise, at least.
What I mostly want to know is:
1) Do I give enough detail?
2) Can you figure out what kind of person the guy in the prologue is?
3) Do I show enough emotion?
4) Would you want to read more of a book like this?
5) Is it too mysterious to be captivating?
And of course any other suggestions you may have. I know that these have a lot of grammar mistakes, but I am not so worried about that right now. I also know that this needs some major work before getting draft 3 worthy I just don’t know what needs to change, majorly. Please be completely honest and tell me your full opinions.
Thanks, guys. I hope you enjoy it too. 😉

April 13, 2018 at 8:14 pm #70796Oh, and I guess I put the mock cover on there too. I didn’t mean to do that. Oh well, you guys will probably like that anyways.

April 13, 2018 at 8:56 pm #70802@ariel-ashira, thanks! I don’t want to be a pest, but can you answer any of my questions?
Hmm, what do you think @livgiordano ? Do we know each other? Just kidding, yes we do. Quite well actually. At least I think so. Liv is one of my best friends in the world. She’s pretty awesome. *high fives*

April 13, 2018 at 8:58 pm #70803Oh, @ariel-ashira, sorry I didn’t answer your question. It is in the future. I imagine it in the late 2000s or maybe even later, but I don’t really have a set date.

April 13, 2018 at 9:17 pm #70810Lol yes. @filewriterbase13x is a very good friend. And if you don’t mind me mentioning it, I was the one who recommended that she should join. 😉 This place is pretty cool. *high fives back* And yes, I can definitely say that you’re one of my best friends, girl.

April 13, 2018 at 9:22 pm #70811@filewriterbase13x Okay, sure.
I think you were pretty detailed. You could describe the room and the people’s faces a little more.
I have a good idea of the guy. His face is not clear in my mind though.
The emotion was good. It wouldn’t be bad if there was more though. A few words describing it a little more would help.
I would definatley keep reading! And its quite captivating.
Does that answer your questions? Its really good!
Man, all these people on KP who only give you the first chapter and leave you stewing over what might happen next…! I am gonna do it to you all one of thses days!

"In a mask, was he?"
April 13, 2018 at 9:31 pm #70817@ariel-ashira Aww really? I feel so honored! And I needed to hear that today. It originally started out as just something I wrote for myself out of my heart, but after sharing it with a few friends, they said I should submit it to KP. And so I did. 😉
I can definitely share some more of my poetry with you if you’re interested. 🙂
