I'm really looking for feedback on my original writing here. It can come from anyone!
All I ask is that it be constructive. So more than just "it's good" or "it's bad". Tell me WHY you have that opinion.
I don't care what you think your own skill level is at. Everyone has a right to an opinion. And every comment can help if it's given in a helping spirit (meaning, again, constructive critique. Not flames or simple praise).
If you don't know what to comment on, here's some ideas!
Character dimensions.
-Do the characters seem well rounded?
-Do they have strengths
-Do they have flaws
-Can you tell when there is an important character introduced?
-Are their depictions natural.
Story Craft
-Does the pace seem too slow or too fast?
-Do the sentences flow?
-Is the writing fluid or choppy?
-Does the setting skip around or transition naturally?
-Are the depictions clear?
Language
-Are there any words that I seem to repeatedly misuse or misspell (to the point I seem to not know the spelling)
-Am I using regional phrases or terms that many wouldn't understand.
-Am I using 'dictionary' words, that the many readers would need look up.
-Am in using too many 'thesaurus' words that make it seem like I'm just looking for fancy words?
Overall Impression
-Do you like what you have read?
-Is the concept good even if the execution isn't?
-Would you recommend to others?
