      So, I’m feeling a little nervous because, as most of you know, I’m shy when it comes to my writing. But you guys were really supportive on my post a few days ago, so now I’ve crawled from my shell and want to share my first chapter. Also, I need some feedback on my quirky writing style πŸ™‚Β Now, this is my first novel and my first chapter, so there’s room for improvement. And this chapter has a lot of paranormal things going on (This is intentional, don’t worry. The first chapter is ‘setting the stage’ and building up tons of questions, so I know it’s weird, but trust me when I say it gets explained πŸ˜‰ )

      You can find my first chapter here. Enjoy! And if you guys want me to, I’ll be happy to send more. Also, have mercy on me for any grammar errors πŸ™‚ Thank you for your time! 😁 Don’t have high hopes haha…

          Hmm, I tried to open the file, but it says I don’t have access. You may have to open the file to sharing, but no worries about rushing (okay, the reader in me is saying rush:)
          But seriously, no need to rush, whenever you can is awesome:D

                                @writerlexi1216 Okay, I finished reading your chapter earlier and…

                                 

                                 

                                 

                                I didn’t like it.

                                 

                                 

                                 

                                 

                                 

                                 

                                 

                                I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Pardon the exclamation marks XDDD)

                                Girl, that is SO amazing. I really loved how you described everything and I want to be in that world, I want to meet Caira and Deek!!! I thought that the action flowed perfectly and am very impressed by, well… the whole thing!!! I want more of this!!!!! Please, please, I am dying here. I want to be in this story! I want to meet the characters!! And most of all, I WANT YOU TO BE PROUD OF YOURSELF!!!! This is just SO great, and I’m not saying this to be nice. I’m saying this because it’s true. Thank you for posting this, and know that it inspired me A TON!!!
