I saw that you commented on my blog so I came ...Hi! I saw that you commented on my blog so I came here to check out your blog. ^.^ I love your story! You've got a knack for writing; in fact, I was a bit surprised when you said Mount McKinley! I've been in the area before and I know how it's like! <br /><br />Something that I would suggest that you can work on is a bit more flow to the story; there are some parts that are transitional, but they just seem there like huge signs, and it's not necessarily something you need to blare out. Try to avoid words such as "then," "next," "after," and "finally," unless you think it's necessary. For example, take this sentence you wrote:<br /><br />"After she had broken out her day dream, and collected all of her things, she began to set off for her journey once more for she had little time and oh, so much to do."<br /><br />Instead of saying "after" as the transition, you can say what caused her to break out of her daydream as a transition. You said that she finished picking up her items, so you may say, "With all of her items stashed safely in her bag, reality roused her to set of for her journey once more..." See what I mean? It's not as prominent and standing out, and it helps the flow.<br /><br />Flow is really important when it comes to the story; with it, it helps readers be absorbed more into the reading. Again, this is just my two cents, so if you wish to disregard this, it's fine. Ultimately, it's up to you what you wish to do, and not me! I wish you luck continuing the story, or, if you are done, then luck on editing and the journey after!<br /><br />xoxo MorningAbigail Lennahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00629691351291882685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535194484558017781.post-73604416067139194052015-05-26T02:26:02.608-07:002015-05-26T02:26:02.608-07:00Dear Pythagoras,

Just bumped into your new blog. I r...Hey PenGirl, <br /><br />Just bumped into your new blog. I really enjoyed reading your first submission, and thought I might contribute.<br /><br />I like this kind of writing. The theme is great: our mysterious female protagonist appears at what seems like the climax of her story, exhibiting all too familiar human tendencies. She’s cold. Alone. Possibly afraid. Yet she’s battling on. Her courage doesn’t fail her. The voice inside her head provides constant encouragement. She is brave.<br /><br />Your extract succeeds for several reasons. Firstly, PG, you’re clearly respecting your readers’ intelligence when you write. Secondly, your use of words is very economical and you don’t waffle. Thirdly, I think your descriptive language is vivid and effective. This is the good stuff.<br /><br />If you want to develop it further, PG, perhaps expand a little at the end before you conclude with your cliff-hanger. Maybe even introduce some short exchange/dialogue between Miss Smith and this new “The Dreaded Voice”. Give us readers a few clues: who might this new person be? A deranged maths teacher mercilessly tracking down missed homework? Or some annoying, yet deeply misunderstood, alien from outer space disguised as a man? Who knows...<br /><br />I’d love to find out what happens next. Will we see humour or dread? Contentment or misery? Alleviation or escalation?<br /><br />Bring on the PenGirl Chronicles!Brain Boxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535194484558017781.post-33516536674420965492015-05-19T11:10:17.432-07:002015-05-19T11:10:17.432-07:00Hi!
