      Sooo to be honest, I’ve been kind of nervous about doing this, but I’m just gonna go for it and hope for the best, right? πŸ˜‰ Anyway, for one of my novels, Into the Lamp – a YA fantastical contemporary retelling of Aladdin – I had been doing a lot of query for agents and all that stuff. Well, long story short, I’ve put that on pause right now and decided instead that I could probably do some more edits to the novel. honestly, guys, I just want to edit it for eternity and never stop XD I probably won’t ever be satisfied. So if any of you INCREDIBLE authors would like to look over it, here it is:

      https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AusRMcV0KvYUST9ZKPOCYi0mNWL_MlQ6QBOBCYW100U/edit?usp=sharing

      Questions:

      ~Does this opening hook you?

      ~Would you continue reading?

      ~Do you like Colin?

      ~Is it worded too choppy or not clear enough?

      THANK YA’LL SOOO MUCH for doing this!!!!!!! <33

And if I didn’t, it’s not because I don’t want you to read it. It’s because I get suuuper nervous asking people to read my work. I STILL TOTALLY WANT YOU TO READ THE STORY, if you want to, of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
