Good. . .but the plot is overused and it needs to be edited.

Comments

  • Please, just don't use caps. It hurts everyone's eyes and is just a no-no in writing.
  • The story feels too rushed, but you can slooowww it down by using more descriptions.
  • Here is an excerpt from a line from the story:: 'went down to the kitchen to fix me some breakfast' What the heck was up with that?! Fix me some breakfast. REALLY? Change it.
  • I know she likes him, and I know that she blushes a lot when she's around him, so stop repeating that.
  • There needs to be more description, I want to be able to be in the room with her!

About this blog and the reviews!

This blog is awesome, the reviews are honest, and these books. . . aren't published. . .YET. Right now, I have twenty novels in my inbox waiting to be read, critiqued/reviewed, and yeah. . . that's it. :P I may seem mostly serious, but that's because this is my "job" over the summer.
