Sugarbabes Round Robin Reading Group [Closed Group]

🏌🏼‍♂️ASSIGNMENT 21

GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS to the best reading group on Wattpad!

We hope everyone had a good week, enjoying the end of summer, barbeques, and BOOKS! 📗

🛑If anyone has NOT done the reading for last week... PLEASE contact us. If you're doubling up next week, or need time off, or something, we'd like to know as we keep track of it for BotM and other purposes. We try to keep the lines of communication open in our group because we do understand there is more to life than the group.🛑

📗***Someone asked for clarification of our read schedule. We try to post late Sundays, so you can use Sunday to finish up the previous week's reads.📖 

I truly enjoyed catching up with one of the fantastic writers in our group and cannot wait to see what my next partner has in store for me. Seriously, the talent in the group is off the proverbial chain. (idiom US informal. meaning: extremely good)

Next week is BOOK of the Month, where we will feast our eyes on the exquisite writings of 

@PVChan01. Trust me, folks, it's going to be a good one!

Remember, you must be active at minimum for at least TWO weeks before your turn as Book of the Month. This makes it as fair as we can for the active readers and those on hiatus as the list is tentative, and we are open to shifting the list hence the tentative label.

Now... TRUMPETS BLARE!!! 🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺DANCERS DANCE!!! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 DOGS BARK!!! 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 Because, HALLELUJAH, I have notes!!!

Without further adieu, the NOTES!!!

1. Congratulations to @PVChan01 for passing the veterinarian's exam! We are so proud of you... but not surprised. You got the Midas touch, babe!  😁

2. Congratulations to @KitCatK8, who pitched her masterpiece during the Twitter Pitching contest... AND RECEIVED AN AGENT'S LIKE 🧡We are so proud of you... but again, not surprised. The. Book. Is. AMAZING! You and Saer deserve this.

3. We're thinking of opening the review shop for the next person interested in participating. Fallen's First was the first done for the group, and it was an amazing read. Head over to Vic's Viewpoints and read Victim #13.

4. A major thanks to @KitCatK8 for stepping up when I have to step out. I so appreciate you!

5. If anyone has any notes to post... PLEASE, Let Us Know!

And now, back to the pairings! Any problems, opinions, questions, etc. speak up!

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

Constructive criticism is a helpful way of giving feedback that provides specific, actionable suggestions. Rather than providing general advice, constructive criticism gives specific recommendations on how to make positive improvements. Constructive criticism is clear, to the point, and easy to put into action. Some might want more general things, like is it interesting, and others, much more detailed IF the reader is so inclined.

Please check for things your assigned partner is looking for below:

*HIATUS

*@BlameSaiki - Would like to know if the story is enjoyable and if the reader would like to go deeper. If not, what turns people away? What is the story missing?

*@Shannara2 - I'm looking for a reader who will be able to pinpoint grammar mistakes, punction marks, and redundancy, without changing the main theme of my story. I don't want a skimmer, I want a genuine reader with genuine comments and not negative criticism

*@RodrickLR- I'm looking for readers that would like to share their opinion about the plot and characters. Is the story engaging and the action thrilling? Are the protagonists well-rounded? Is the world understandable? But most of all, my primary goal is to provide the readers with an enjoyable story, so I would sincerely appreciate all their honest opinions, corrections, and suggestions.

*@freya_inkwell- Writes fantasy but currently joining the group as an extra reader.

ACTIVE READERS

@RogueWriter55 - Would like to know if the story is interesting, clear, and concise. PLEASE, point out any typos or parts that sound like an IKEA manual written in Swedish. (Translation: it's not clear) I'll take any advice I can get.

@KitCatK8 - Requests any and all feedback, no need to pull punches. Is the writing enjoyable, clear, and concise? Are they grammatical errors or typos? Does the story cause any type of emotional reaction? Any suggestions on wording, grammar, and spelling are always welcome. The main question is: Does the story hold your interest? Why or why not? What are your thoughts/theories/feelings about the main character? Is he relatable? Is he believable? Opinions are welcome on what would make the story better.

@juliecotewriter - Would love any kind of feedback/editing with an eye toward feedback on the worldbuilding. Mainly things in the genre of, does it make sense and feel realistic, or are there places that should be explained more, or things that seem to contradict.

@SGSchumpertWrites - Wants to be critiqued on everything. Tear it apart (kindly :). If a character is unrelatable, if the dialogue sounds off, if you're getting bored, or feel like the plot is structured strangely, if something doesn't make sense, please tell me. I also tend to overwrite, so if you could help me trim down and cut out unnecessary bits/scenes, which would be lovely. I request no critiquing on grammar/spelling errors since a computer can point out those. Thank you so much for your time and thoughtful consideration. I look forward to working with y'all!

@aditibalaji100 - What I'm looking for: I'd love to get input mainly on the characters and the world-building. I'd love to know both, what's working and what's not. I'd also appreciate help with rephrasing stuff to make it sound sharper and easier to read.

@EliP56 – Because of my past experience, I realize that I become so obsessed with editing that I stop writing (XD) The focus has changed. I'm looking more for thoughts on the characters, plot, plot holes. Not necessarily looking for grammar or deep/rough editing-type comments.

@DelaneyBrenna - Would like her partner to keep an eye out for repetition with information/descriptors.

*@PVChan01 - Would like partners to comment about how engaging and enjoyable they find the story and characters. Please keep an eye out for repetitiveness or awkward sentences. Look out for any big grammar mistakes like misspelled words.
