Happy
Labor Day! I know for some of you this is your last day before school starts...
so I hope this week is a smooth transition for you!
As I said
in my first post, I am just finishing the rough draft of my book, so this is by
no means the finished product. Here are some things I encourage you to look for
while reading.
1.
Spelling or grammar errors I may have missed
2.
Sentence structure problems. In other words, if a sentence doesn't make sense
or could be clearer.
3. Not
enough detail. If a particular scene lacks detail, for instance if you are
having trouble envisioning what is happening.
4. If you
have ideas for scenes I could add in (or take out).
5. This
novel is fictional with fictional people and places, but I have a medieval time
frame in mind while writing. So if there is anything that you think goes
against the general medieval feel, let me know!
These are
just ideas. I am sharing this with you as a step in the polishing process of my
novel, so please share any ideas or critiques you have. :)
In this chapter, one of the characters you will meet is Alys (pronounced Alice).

Well done, Rachel! I loved how you jumped right into the action instead of taking the whole chapter to establish the characters and stuff. I'm really looking forward to the rest! (Can't wait to see what happens with the "peasant" guy. For some reason I doubt he's really a peasant... :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Callie! Interesting theory.... ;)
