*waves hand around* Yes, yes…I know I said I’d see you all next year, but this is a question that couldn’t wait any longer.
Currently, I’m trying to write a novel. Too many novels actually, which is where this problem came up. You see, I finished Sector One, so I’m trying to write the sequel to it. But I’m 71,000 words in with 30,000 more to…[Read more]

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic Would someone please tell me if these first chapters are too depressing? in the forum Novel Critique Requests 8 years, 9 months ago
Identical thoughts to @daeus Good premise, and if the entire story isn’t going to be as dark in the first chapters, you just want to include enough glimpses of light to indicate that. I don’t personally have a problem with dark, depressing stories when there’s a point to them, but you don’t want to unintentionally indicate that’s the type of story…[Read more]

@his-instrument I love the plot line.

If you don’t get too graphic with the murder and torture scene and you give the reader one or two, morally good, hopeful…[Read more]

@his-instrument I love the storyline!
It does sound kind of dark. Maybe you could like spread out the dark a little bit…?
Anyway, sure! I’ll read it. 🙂
Someone who has more experience with plot line might be of more use, though…

It’s up to a young, poverty-stricken soldier, desperately trying to support his siblings, to find the murderer–purportedly a woman named Ileesa Talyntor. The good news is, the reward for…[Read more]

@catwing, yes, in fact. if I’m in the next one make me the perfect character. kidding, that would be boring.
Oh, theres a cliché for you. the perfect boring character that accidentally makes into every book that the author thinks is going to be everyones favorite character. but is really everyones least favorite.
