It’s the End

May 10th, 2010

Hello there. I can’t believe that it’s almost the end of the semester. I’d like to take the time to thank all of you for the comments you all have made on my work of fiction and my posts on Freak Thoughts. It has been very helpful to me throughout the whole semester.

Thanks again! :)

Tying the Ends Together

May 10th, 2010

Hello all. I have seen the posts asking for advice on a title, and I am sorry to say that I will be adding another to the list. I had previously had no title to my 1815 period piece, and I am just wondering if any of you may have any suggestions for me.

Thank you!

Detail and Surroundings

May 4th, 2010

Herfordshire Church Building

Hello. I am currently editing my story (the 1815 period piece), and I am curious as to whether more attention must be paid to the surroundings. For example, the countryside, the family’s mansion, etc., as I have not paid much attention to these details.

I am wondering what you all think of this. Would more details bog the reader down, or make the piece more interesting and believable?

Work, Work, Work

April 23rd, 2010

I would just like to take a moment, once more, to thank you all for commenting on my short story. The period piece was slightly difficult to write. I am surprised that I did not receive more comments concerning the family, including the main character’s oldest brother and the mother and father. I suppose that all I would like to ask is, is more beneficial to provide more information about them, keep it the same, or tell less about them in the story?

Your comments would be greatly appreciated. I just realized that I mentioned them in passing, and now that I look it over again, it bothers me.

Thank you. :)

Stuck on the Typos

March 4th, 2010

I am having such a hard time looking at my paper being up, seeing typos that I have missed in my rough draft, and thinking about the critique. It really does bother me when I see such things in my work. All I can say is that I’m hoping to deal with that issue and quickly correct the typos.

Well, here’s to tomorrow and to hoping that the reviews are good and I get a lot of good suggestions. :)
