@That_Writer_Girl_99 aaah yes yes my sister read Scythe and O-O it sounds amazing. I haven’t gotten around to reading it but I 10000% plan to.

@SeekJustice THE RECKONERS AAAAHHHH *so much flailing*

@Jenwriter17 yessss for sci fi. I definitely also vouch for The Reckoners series (Brandon Sanderson) and also The lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.

@Cloudy At this very moment I’m a little busy, but sometime in the next week or so I’d be happy to look over your story. How in-depth would you want me to go? I do freelance editing so I can do anything from a theme-characters-plot sort of perspective or go more into the finer details of wording and prose and grammar. It all depends on how…[Read more]

@Radically-surrendered basically if it’s a book about musical instruments being epic I’ll read it. XD

@Jenwriter17 ahhh I completely missed this before, sorry. D:

I really like everyone else’s suggestions for twists. Having the ultimate reveal of her family and mentor and all the secrets in the past being an unexpected shock really heightens things. *nodnod*

As for the blurb, it’s a good base to start off from but it’s long and gives a little…[Read more]

@Rochellaine Sweet. If you want to check out my friend’s art, she has some of her work on Deviantart, which you could look at.

I have a friend who’s an artist/illustrator, but she’d probably charge a little for doing something like this. It also depends exactly what you’re looking for.

@inkling-for-christ Depending on the style of editing you’re looking for, I don’t actually have anyone scheduled in at the moment so I’m not too busy. I do charge (a low cost) for a professional edit though -you can check out my details HERE– but I try keep it affordable.

If it’s an incomplete manuscript, I would be happy to work through it and…[Read more]

@Winter-Rose ooh I love it. The others have said my thoughts basically, but I would echo that yes, my first impression was that it was a little long, so if you could cut down some of it, it might be better.

@jenwriter17 Sad endings are tricky to write, but also a ton of fun. Your character DOESN’T have to succeed in the story goal (if they do, there’s less sadness, in a way), but they SHOULD grow themeatically. If they fail in the goal, but grow and learn and have a great character arc, that will satisfy readers just as much.

@Waterlily very nice! There’s some gramatical/punctuation mistakes, but nothing too important right now. Very good job! 😀

@Kate-Flournoy aahh yes Valiant sounds wonderful. Definitely a title that’d make me pick up the book to look at the back cover.

@sam-kowal Merry Christmas to you also. You’re awesome too. 😛

@Audrey-Caylin What I tend to do, is write out a list of the problems and then write out ways that I’m going to fix those problems. Sometimes I do that on paper, or a doc, or whatever. But I do it with a dot-point list. Kind of like…

• Fred’s character arc is terrible
• Big plot hole in chapter six onward

And so on. Then there’s the list of…[Read more]

@sleepwalkingmk You’re very welcome! 😀

@mariposa Oh my word I’m giggling so hard. XD This is THE BESTISTEST. xP

@sleepwalkingmk Nice! I’ve put in a couple of comments on the actual doc for you. 🙂

@Seekjustice alrighty. Have a good afternoon/evening! *doffs imaginary hat*

@Seekjustice you can do it!! 😉

@Seekjustice indeed. 😛

Editing is going fairly well. I keep getting sidetracked (thanks very much, oh my tiny little attention span *rolls eyes*) but it’s been fun.
