Hiiii. So far, I've enjoyed it quite a bit! It's a sweet and cute story that I see is unraveling, I can see how much dept there is in Nara and Otto. They are their own individual person.  also, I love how Nara and Otto met, such a perfect meet-cute! You are really good at writing, and i love how you write the details and describe things...but... i have a question.  Would you ever mind if i give a few tips maybe? Not with the story line but with the writing, its no biggie at all. Just a few ideas to get things to flow more smoothly, I mean this to not come off as rude or mean. I assure that. All writers learn as they go and learn from other writers, we all gotta support each other some way or another!  Its completely fine if you don't want to know anything i have to say, it's all up to you.

@AnaLuvsToWrite  Yeah I'm not good with spacing and things like that, my actual document isn't spaced at all so I kinda just space it when I copy paste it onto here. I didn't like that I used "said" so much either and I did try to fix it later on in the story but at this point I wrote all of this like 4 months ago so I was kinda still learning.

@gabbygals12  Okay one thing that i noticed while reading that kind of threw me off was paragraph spacing, a few parts when multiple people spoke it was in one line so i got confused but it's an easy fix. You know, a new paragraph when it's a new topic, change of scene, or someone speaks i believe, (i struggle with that)  
            
            Another thing when it's a paragraph and only talking about one person, you mention their name once in the beginning and the rest use their pronoun instead of their name. So, it's not the same word repeating, same thing if you are describing something so you can't say "The window was big and grand. The window had yellow curtains," ETC. Instead, you would say "it had yellow curtains." 
            
            I believe this is the last thing, the word "said' was used really often, IMO using other words makes people understand how the person felt and sounded. Pinterest has endless ideas, so you could check and see.  I keep a mental list because it irks me if i use the word "said" in my writing lol 
            
            You'll learn the more you write, read, and watching videos. Also, Pinterest does have lots of tips and tricks.

@gabbygals12 no problem! I doubt myself a lot on pretty much everything and have to be assured to be okay

Hi. I was able to read half of the first chapter; it was really good. I enjoyed it a lot. I hope one day you will finish it and post your writing; you never know where it can lead. It could be just the beginning for you.
