@aislinn-mollisong Alright, I read the prologue and chapter one. Josiah basically covered everything already. I’ll just see if I can go into a few more details.

First of all, the secret ingredient really is slowing down. I’m going to be more extreme than Josiah here. I would say slow things down four times what it is now, maybe even more for the…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong I only had time to look through the prologue and chapter one, but here’s a couple things I noted:

The prose feels very choppy and is very bare-bones. Try fleshing out your descriptions more and varying the sentence structure for the writing to feel more smooth.

You do a lot of telling as opposed to showing, which is probably…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollislong Yes, that would be fine.

@aislinn-mollisong Well, I can’t read through your whole book unfortunately, but if you could give me a sample scene, I could read through that and see if I can identify the problem.

Praying, everybody.

@Aislinn-Mollisong Yeah, what Jane said. I’ll just clarify that an agent is someone who represents you to different publishing houses.

@perfectfifths Good to know! My to-read list is ridiculously long, but I’ll see if I can fit that somewhere on it. xD

@daeus I’m a fan. YES.

@epicaddie2 Certainly. Sounds like a big change!

@Dragon-Snapper I commend thy wisdom.

@Dragon-Snapper ehh… I do believe she likes onion rings. Blech. *shivers*

@DaughteroftheKing thank you! Cookies— yes. *munches them immediately and forgets to save them for later*

@Dragon-Snapper *sniffs* There are more polite methods of correction. But rest assured, I shall. ;P
And I prefer chicken.

@Dragon-Snapper I found a dragon-trainer and have been intensively competing on a nightly basis with just one. I may eventually come to this dear little corner again, but the competition was a little much with all of you guys here, so I feel like I need to recover from that. 😛 Never fear. The game continues.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 awesome! Which doc?

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’m here now and will be until two o’ clock, and then I might be here again around three. I’ll tag you if I am.

@salome01w4g Ouch. You’ll be in my prayers.

@catwing LOLOLOLOLOL! I do love farms! I don’t actually live on one (we just have on dog named Penny and then a vegetable garden), but I worked on a farm in Costa Rica for three months over the summer and I’m an agriculture student in college, so I work as a student assistant on another farm here during the fall and spring.

*sighs* Oh well. We’ll figure it out someway. 😛
