@OkamiCruz thank you! I am slowly rewriting the second book. Book 1 changed so drastically in rewrite, book 2 doesn't fit anymore. So,  it's written, but needs to be completely reworked. Thank you so much for reading!

@SparkTheSnowLeopard Sure thing! I really love the premise of your story. The idea of going back in time a week intrigues me. The biggest lesson I learned, and everyone else could learn, (it took a college class to get it through my head) is knowing the difference between 'showing' vs 'telling.' Anytime you say something caused something to happen, you just told your audience what happened. Like when they fall off the couch due to laughter. Rather than saying it caused them to fall, say it something like...fits of laughter dumped them onto the floor. It almost personifies the laughter, which did the pushing. Anywhere you use the word 'caused,' replace it with how it did it. My writing 'bible' is Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. And for free, I'd suggest the 70 Deadly Wattpad Sins by Tyro31. He's still working on it, but has a lot of great info in it. I do love to edit, but work with the understanding, anything I tell you is optional for you to take. Anything you'd like further edit on, inbox me and I'll give it a looksee. :) Keep writing! You're doing great!

Hi @JodiChapman I was wondering if you could check out my new story, I am an amateur, and I just got this so I was wondering if you could read it to tell me how a more experienced writer would think of this.
            
            It is called 'The Porthole To Last Week' and this is the link:

Hello

JodiChapman

@JoshuaBoakye hey! Yeah it has been. I've been putting all my creativity into pouring resin for the past year. But, since it's so expensive and writing is free, I'll be writing more soon
