The Guide before you Read

I've gotten some comments about my story as people have read through. Generally, I try not to do this kind of thing while writing the story but I've decided for the best of my story, I'm going to do this. I don't want people to become discouraged through it and stop reading because of confusion.

I've tried letting it go, but this needs to be done. If I ever get this published, this particular part will be removed entirely. Harry Potter didn't have a reference guide but I've also come to realize, the words said in it were explained rather quickly. Hopefully once I edit my story, I can fix all those and take this down in a new draft. But, as I've said to plenty of people, I reuse to entirely edit until my story is complete. As some of you may now know, this is the 6th edition of this story. I've never once gotten past chapter 15 because by the time or before I reach that chapter, I always go back and edit. Then I find myself hating the story, I take it down, and redo it all. I'm not going to let myself do that again. I will finish this draft and then do the major edits.

Simple things like grammar errors or sentence structures I will fix when directed so they don't just stay, but major editing (loopholes, confusion, etc...) will all be put into my notes and referenced when I edit.

I want to personally thank UnderMySkin for reminding me of this. I actually had considered doing this before but things got bad a while back and then when I returned, it just slipped my mind. So thank you girl, you rock! She also pointed out how not defining these can and probably will lose readers interest if I don't explain them. So, hopefully this clears it up for a bit until the ending when I edit!

Also please note: Anything I'm told to fix, suggestions given, criticism given, all goes into my notes. I write it all down. So things will be considered when I edit if you tell me of it.

Thank you!
