about me

I have been writing since I was twelve years old. I have always been fascinated by a good story---any genre will do. I have written several novels in various genres, and always strive to better my craft. I write character-driven tales, and thoroughly research my settings so I may transport my reader into the story. My greatest desire is to be published on a large scale, so that I may share my adventures with others.

Your intro is very scary. Beyond that, your dialogue is realistic and your prose is natural. SHELVED. Alydia The Last Constantin view book

I liked your initial introduction...but I can't help feeling that people don't talk like this. I don't quite understand what they're trying to say, but it's like they're speaking in rehearsed poetry, maybe. Perhaps relax it a little--read it out loud to someone, and see if it sounds natural.

Gosh, this is such good writing, but it the story scares me to death, and the language is a bit much for me to handle. Good luck with this, though! view book

An excellent spot would be "Get focused. Forget about Ishiro." The detail at the beginning sort of bogs down the beginning, like a lot of ... view book
