@XoLoveReadingoX   no hard feelings really no apology needed.   :)

I am sorry for intervening btwn u nd kristy.. It was out of my turn to do so.. I hope u accept my apology!

@nbekkie i hope i did a good thing

hey thank you so much for the critique, I don't fell that great about my story anymore and I am busy re-writing so your ideas will definately find it's way in there.

@vanillafrostingx  You're absolutely right about the description. We need enough to shape the world but we want enough space to fill in the blanks. So give us a box and let us fill in what we want. For example do not describe your main characters bedroom if it's insignificant and you know we won't see it for the rest of the book or series. Write what is essential. Now a secondary character or cameo characters will need surroundings to tell about their character. Like an old beat down house for a careless drunk who doesn't care about much since his wife and daughter died. So you see we have to understand what is babble and what is essential.
          
          
          Exposition is as I understand it, is secondary information that doesn't give away the plot, character, etc. It's there to better understand the story and the world around the characters even the characters themselves. In exposition you can move a scene with basically summarizing what happens in between scenes or character's pasts if it reminds them of something Exposition can be used for many things and it's essentially one of a writer's best friends.

@Lestrade Wow thank you! You definately seem experienced in this domain! However I was wondering what you mean by exposition. What is that exactly? 
          And I have a question I tend to ask myself a lot, would you recommend a lot of description or do readers tend to find that too boring? Because I know when I read a book, I usually skp some of the descriptions because I find it too long and it holds back the plot, but depending on who`s reading, it could be good too to get a real image of the surondings or the characters in your head, I`m just scared it`ll make people stop reading the story because they may find it too slow...
          I was wonderng if you could maybe just read my prologue and tell me what you think needs changing because I know something isn`t right with it butI don`t know if I need to restart from scratch or just edit a few things...
          
          Anyays thank you for your time! I really appreciate it!

It would pretty much depend on what kind of story you want to write... A prologue pretty much can be to hook up for your reader,letting on info that might be of severe importance in the future, or something that needs solving...It helps a great deal to understand the background of the characters and give them certain psicological depth.

          Over the course of the two years since I've been writing vigorously and actually taking the craft seriously I've learned a lot! And I want to share it with you! :)
          
          1. One of the first things I've learned with writing a novel is you have mainly description, dialogue, and exposition. Me in particular I favor exposition it's amazing! I find a lot of writers on here post their snippets of writing and it bares loads of weak dialogue and description. We should use exposition more often it's an amazing story telling tool! J.K. Rowling uses it in the beginning of Harry Potter book five and in Lord of the Rings J.R.R. Tolkien uses it as well. Exposition is as timeless as the other two elements.
          
          
          2. Another thing I've come to learn THE HARD WAY is to write, write, and rewrite the story you're pouring your heart into.
          
          
          3. Writers advice I've gotten is pass the 1,000,000 word mark and you will be considered as pretty close to good. I don't know about you but one million words is a lot! They also say put in 10,000 hours and you will see a drastic difference in your writing!
          
          
          
          4. READ GOOD AND BAD books. The pleasurable ones like Twilight (yuck) are definitely a fruit and a book like To Kill a Mockingbird is a vegetable. Both are good for you but one may be more enjoyable (the fruit). And don't be alarmed reading books you admire will enrich your writing style so see why you love Harry Potter or whatever story out there whether it be for style, dialogue, or plot! Study it and in the process you will not loose your "writer's voice" but sharpen it!

Hi !
          You look like just the person I really need! I would be really grateful if you could maybe read my story and tell me what you honestly think because I know very well I`m no professional but I don`t know how to improve... If you could give me some constructive feeb-back I would be so so so thankful! 
          I look forward to your feedback !
          and thanks again in advace x
