about me

Hi! I love stories that make me laugh :D

Projects (not yet posted):
THREAD ~ The Underworld plots to tear apart Olympia and the mortal realm. By the gods' command, Sereny must stop this. The Fates, however, have something else in mind.
MARIONETTE ~ Shoes and credit cards are not Vivienne's best friends, though they do come in handy. Lies have gotten her everything she wants. But her latest target plays her game and plays it well.

Note: I can't promise that I'll back/comment on your novel. I'm a picky reader, and I won't play the "Let's back every book possible (even those of poor quality) to move up the rankings!" game. I will at least glance at the first chapter if you ask. Also, I know many of the stories on here aren't edited to perfection, but if your text is riddled with poor grammar, mixed-up tenses, confusing syntax, etc., I'll run away screaming ;)

I keep books on my shelf for at least a week, usually more since I don't get to read on here as often as I'd like. If I really, really like your writing, I may back AND comment! Gasp...
I randomly and rarely do Cheesecake Ratings (look below), but I'm an inexperienced writer, so take my advice with a grain of salt ;)

Cheesecake Meter

1 = orgasmic!! yumyum...nothing left to say 8D
2 = delicious! needs better plating or a super special ingredient to bump it up
3 = pretty good :) try some bolder flavor or a more polished presentation
4 = nice effort. okay for a sugar fix, but not up to restaurant standards yet.
5 = eh. consult cookbooks for tips and try, try again
10 = inedible crap, but i haven't found any on here and I'd never rate anyone this either :)

I do not read angst or horror, unless they're really amazing/funny. Both genres depress me too much, and few writers can pull it off well. Everything else is fair game ;)

Hi Jasmine! Just leaving a short and sweet comment ;) I like your characters so far; their close friendship is definitely shown well here, with a relatable situation and familiar dialogue. One thing, though--some of the phrases used, such as "irremediably", "hooded recluse", "found...solace", etc., ... view book

Hello Steven! As requested, I read a couple of chapters :) Your writing is excellent. I'm not a fan of the voice -- it it's a little bland to me, but it works with your style. As for the story, I'm not really sure why you labeled this a thriller...it lacks suspense so far. Ten chapters in, the Presi... view book

Hi Tom! Just dropping a little comment -- your dialogue is wonderful ;) Seriously, I think I would be happy just reading that and nothing else. I'm not sure about the YA label, because of the story's pace (slower than most YA, though I don't find that a problem) but the writing is great! Backed!! ... view book

Hi Randall! Of course, I was tempted by your challenge -- I haven't squirmed in a long time, so I'm here to see if your arguments are any good ;) But first, you have to go through the Cheesecake Meter! Cheesecake Rating: 1.5 (from 1-10, 1 being the highest) Clean, accessible writing. I've alway... view book

Hi Stephanie! Cheesecake Rating: (from a scale of 1-10, 1 being the highest) 4 I really like your writing style--short yet descriptive sentences and few superfluous words keep the story moving along very well. You do need some editing, which shouldn't be too hard. I'm not a fan of the format... view book
