I love this summary! It makes me want to read more of it! Ah, it’s so good! The one and only one small suggestion I’d make is perhaps changing the wording in the sentence:
“-Colin’s stuck with a teenage girl genie, who says he gets three wishes.”
to
“-Colin’s stuck with teenage Genie, who claims he gets three wishes.”
But this is only a suggestion! I mean I have suggestions for everything, which doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with the original or anything like that.
Anyway, I LOVE this summary!! 😀YAY!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! <33 *gasp* I LOVE the way that sounds even better!!! THANK YOU for suggesting it!!! Aww, THANKS JUST A BUNCH!!!!!! <33 😊

TeenWritersNook.comI just read your first chapter!!! AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! Your writing style, your introduction of Colin, your tension, your everything!! I’m tempted to read it again! I love the way you introduced Colin (I’m already so interested in his character), and just wow! You put so much information into the first chapter, but it doesn’t feel rushed at all. It’s a perfect balance, I think.
(And I’m so interested to find out what happens when he finds the lamp…)
If you have any more to send, I’d be more than happy to read it!! 🙂 Thanks for sharing it, by the way!
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! Girl, just a HUNDRED MILLION THANK YOUS FOR THIS!!!!!!! You have no idea how much all of this means to me!!!! Honestly, I’ve been wondering if I’m just wasting my time here, sooo this just means SOOO MUCH to me!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! 🙂
You’re welcome! THANK YOU for reading!!! I do have a beta reading group going through this story. Would you like to be added to the Google Docs? Don’t feel pressured in any way!! I’d have to know your email and I TOTALLY understand if that’s not something you wanna share!!! Promise!! You can never be too safe online, or that’s what I always believe!

#ProtectSebHey Issabelle! (and everyone else!) Sorry I sorta dropped off the face of the internet *embarrassed grin*. I’ve been doing battle with some magazine submission guidelines, pesky boxes under the bed (who knew there was so much stuff to organize under there?!!), and stuff for school.
Anywho! How have you been? How’s life and writing?
My sister happened to be in the room while I was reading your Into The Lamp summary. We both like it. It’s similar in structure to a lot of great book blurbs. The only thing I’d suggest is to consider condensing it; to us, it seems a bit long.
Also, my sister was confused about this line: “…and now Colin has four weeks to fix his life, impress the richest man in town’s daughter, and make sure by the time his genie leaves, his heart doesn’t follow.”
She isn’t sure who Colin’s affection is for; the rich man’s daughter or the genie? (Also, the sudden mention of the rich man’s daughter sorta threw her. It’s a bit unclear how this girl fits into the plot.)
And also, this line is a bit unclear: “When Colin discovers someone is after him, seeking the genie’s power for some mysterious desire that he wants no part of…” (who is he, the ‘someone’ or Colin?)
All in all, good job! Keep up the hard work; I know you can do this! 🙂
Hey! (I think we met in the ‘Start Here’ forum.) I’m still trying to remember everyone’s name lol!
Anyway, how’s it going? How’s your writing coming along?
Dream. Write. Inspire.

#ProtectSebOh, count me in!! *claps hands* I’d love to join the group! Plus, I have some experience with Google Docs already, so I’m familiar with it. So my email is this… alexalouwilliams@gmail.com *cringes* This is an ancient email, so it’s a little cringeworthy, but that’s it. Let me know how to join and I’d be super happy to!! 🙂 It sounds neat! BTW, sorry for the late reply.
