 folie du jour 2007-03-15 . chapter 2Drabble 1: Perversely amusing. Just try to cut down on the redundant phrasing. This idea lends very well to concision.
-
The (Very) Long of It:
"She does...hesitate."
-Is there a smoother way of saying this?
"This is a...asking."
- "A statement." or "He is not really asking. She answers anyway." would do fine. Or even remove the entire section. Experiment.
"Again she...moment."
-Second part unnecessary.
"You worry I will harm you? Hurt you?"
-Beginning with "you worry" sounds slightly awkward. Hurt or harm? Pick one.
"It is not what...for me"
-Watch the "will/would" tenses.
"And what...you?"
-The "my love" part doesn't seem to fit?
"...porcelain of her cheek."
-Sounds a bit odd. Maybe just rely on the old "porcelain cheek" or omit "porcelain" all together.
"...quivers..."
-I don't like "quivers," but it's up to you.

Drabble 2: Needs a bit more polish.

Sorry for the nitpicking, I hope it may be helpful.
Anyway, you definately know how to present an idea, and those last sentences certainly make an impression. Good job, and keep writing! |
