... mesmerizing. Your writing style at the beginning was impossible to look away from. At one point my eyes glazed over, but that is because I started to think about Lord of the Rings.However you should have in idea of where you're heading before you start travelling.
Aw thanks :) I'm kinda new at the whole first-person thing, but I think I'm getting the hang of it :) I'm hoping for the second chapter to be up by the end of tonite! :D
and yea, i kinda do, but the background story keeps changing. :P so i guess it's a more of I don't know where I'm coming from lol

I've taken this long to really write because I was expanding and adjusting the mithos behind the stories. Even I have to admit that it is shockingly large. It has gotten to the point that if someone asks a question about something I haven't thought of, I can pull an answer almost immediately, as if it is already created and I just need to discover it, rather than invent it myself.Unfortunately I got so caught up in the mithos that I set back my writing by years.
I totally understand..... I'm like that with everyone of my stories, I have hundred of storylines in my head but i analyze them so much that even though I haven't written it yet, its all there. I can picture the scenes... you know?
I don't know personally about seeing the scenes, but I can understand the feeling.This must be what boredom feels like; I'm playing my replica of PONG.
Yep. or sonic the hedgehog. Love that game.
I'm writing. Because I'm really bored. haha

Only my brother and his other nerdy friends understand me. haha.
I have a question.... when using first person, do i put 'my thoughts' in italic? I think so, but I can't decide.

It varies. Sometimes a character would talk in first person, but in a mainly objective tone (although, obviously, not truly objective). Most of the time it's not necessary.
hmm. I still can't make up my mind. Ah, whatever. If goodreads is going to make it not italic who cares lol
I don't know if anyone really cares, but Chapter 2 is up. :D Again, constructive criticism is very welcome.... to me, the second chapter seems... repetitive.
Thanks :) haha i staerted it by opening a notepad and being like. hmm. i want to write something. and then i was like. WALKING lets pretend im walking! hahaha :P
Remember, if you have ANY tips or suggestions, i am completely open to it :)

Hey guys :) Chapter three is up, if you feel like reading it :P
The first two chapters flow rather slowly. Not that this is the type of scene that should flow quickly, but it dabbles around needlessly sometimes.It's alright, though.
YES!!!!! I completely agree!!! I think that the third chapter moves quicker. I'm going to start making them shorter and more... stream-lined. haha.
:D it's good to know im not the only one out there with problems lol
my friend read it the other day and was like this chapter never ENDS!!! lol

I've started a story and I would love it if you would read it :D But if you don't want to that's great too :P
I am really trying hard to improve my writing abilities so I would love it if you could offer constructive critism, and any tips or idea you have about my writing :D
Thanks! :D
