Here's my next installment. Can't wait to find out what you think. Thanks. He felt the urge to go to her, console her. But he heard Cutty’s voice, reminding him that he was there to observe and record, not get involved. And to accomplish that he was required to remain separate, in the shadows. She l...

Re: Group I

1. Scene length and structure (1-5): 5. The scenes flowed well, even when you shifted to different characters and we had to step back in time a little. 2. Clarity of spatial set (1-5): 5. We know where we are at all times, even during the POV shifts. 3. Comprehensible prose narrative (1-5): 4. You d...

Re: Group I
Corena, I'm assuming this is a rough draft. That was my thought process critiqueing it. You have a lot of really good elements present. I think you could explore them and really turn out something great. Good job. 1. Scene length and structure (1-5): 4. We get a good snapshot of Shay’s work life and...

Re: Group I
Hey guys. Here's the first 500 words of my book. I'm doing some rewrites, so it's still pretty rough. Let me know what you think. Ben From behind the bushes, John Abernathy lowered his camera, away from the man sitting in the car, the woman’s head bobbing in his lap. John hoped the few digital frame...
