RE: Feedback



Why would I get Mad? Seriously, I’m only doing this because I love your stories and I believe they should be read more widely… If this process is stimulating you to re-write, re-define, re-edit, add etc.. then that’s all to the good.

What I suggest you do is leave what is up for now.. Maybe post something in the blog that says “After posting the initial few chapters of greenie, I have realised that I need to re-work it.. As soon as that is done, the story will be re-posted from the beginning…”.. People on the site will understand that and appreciate it.. don’t just take it down, because that will irritate people. Almost everyone on the site understands that the stories posted there are normally works in progress and when an author takes the time/effort to repost because they have improved the story, everyone appreciates that.

I have attached the word docs that I worked on… so you can use them or not, up to you.

PLEASE though, when you are doing dialogue, do this:

He said, “Hi you all”.

i.e.

comma after the said (or whatever word you use there, then a space, then the inverted commas (“) then NO space before you start the words. It’s the one formatting error which is driving me nuts cause there’s no quick search and replace way to fix it…

All the best
