abuseHi. I'm enjoying your story, but I have a small suggestion...give us more detail...take us there...make us feel as if we were with them.

abuseHi, I just finished your story and I think that it had a great concept. I love Nick and Sara together. Can I make a suggestion? When you are writing it is a good idea to describe everything in monumental detail. For example, when they are at Nick and Sara's place, what does it look like? What kind of furniture do they have? What color? To help the reader really see the whole picture you have to describe everything; the way they move, the expressions in their eyes, on their faces. If they are in a restaurant, how many tables are there? Are there tablecloths? Is it nice? what kind of people work there? To describe in full detail is to take the reader where they otherwise could not go; Into the story. I hope you are not offended by my comments, because this story line was wonderful and I write this to you in sincerity and kindness. Cheers.

abuseWell that was the oddest author's note I've read...since the last time you posted raging author's notes. No one said you were English! I think the reviewer said you should get a grip on the English language. You know, the language you're posting your stories in, and, not incidentally, abusing terribly. How in the world do you take that to mean she thought you were English? Your reading comprehension skills might explain why your grammar is so poor. The 'twenty years' you claim you spent in school on your bio page a while back certainly doesn't explain why you can't punctuate correctly, or have more than even one paragraph be longer than one sentence.

abuseThis is not really a review. I couldn't find your email address so I am writing to you this way. I got an email alert for the 30th chapter and the link wouldn't work. I was wondering what happened to the chapter. You can email me at dancingjke@ to let me know.

abuseI think it clearly says in my bio that I do write stories, but I use this ID when I'm just reviewing. I know you can read, so obviously you think you're being superior by making that statement in your author's notes. Sorry. Didn't work.

You should take good advice when it is given to you.

"Crapping" on people's stories? Correcting very, very, very poor grammar is not 'crapping'. I notice that your dialog is STILL punctuated wrong. Once again, I’ll give you a good example:

“Greg, Rick”? She said almost scared like.

This SHOULD be “Greg, Rick?” She said, almost scared like.

Though to be perfectly honest, ‘almost scared like’ is incorrect as well. It should read something closer to “She seemed almost afraid as she spoke.”

Using “so and so said”, “she asked”, “he said”, “so and so asked” over and over again makes your story sound tired, and trite. A bonus for punctuating dialog correctly is that people know when your characters are speaking; you don’t need to tell them.

Your 'paragraphs' are still only one sentence long; that is very poor writing and makes your stories seem choppy, and throws off the flow.

That’s not even getting into how terribly OOC all your characters behave.

Your writing skills need improvement. Even if I didn’t write, as you claim, that hardly matters. Most editors are, in fact, not writers themselves. Your refusal to take good advice based on 1) A faulty assumption that I’m not a writer, and 2) Childish petulance because of said assumption only makes your writing worse. And makes you look like you don’t care about your writing, or your readers.

I was serious about the book I mentioned in my last review. Also-get a beta reader that has a good grasp of the English language, and story structure, pacing, and characterizations. They will do your writing a world of good.

Plus-finally. Learn the difference between a review, and a flame. Remember, even ff.n suggests that “It is extremely helpful to use this opportunity to comment on an aspect of the story that can be improved. A well rounded critique is often the most rewarding tool for the writer.”
