 Kch674 2009-06-28 . chapter 1This is pretty good and I commend you for actually putting a dream into writing. However, I must criticize. Try varying sentence structure. By that, I mean you should not begin every other sentence with 'I'. The beginning gave decent imagery, but it didn't completely capture my attention. I understand that it's difficult to describe scenery well sometimes, but try closing your eyes and seeing it as if you are really there. Use figurative speech (similes, metaphors, hyperboles, etc.) Instead of saying the grasses were tall (just a random example), show it! "The wild chartreuse grasses reached high into the air and tickled the knees of those who passed. Their towering blades appeared to be reaching for the moon like bony fingers as they grew, grew, grew ever higher in the heavy summer air."
I enjoyed this and I think you should keep writing. |
