Read my first chapter?

http://www.worthyofpublishing.com/book.a...





It%26#039;s the first chapter of something I%26#039;d like to turn into a short story. I would appreciate it if you read it, and then gave me some feedback. Also, if you have an account on there, please feel free to comment on that site!

i like it a lot. It%26#039;s interesting and it draws me in. You%26#039;re descriptions are really good. There are barely any dialogues but in this case it was a good thing. Keep writing!!!!!!!
Reply:wow....it was great, i would really like to read it when you%26#039;re finish

Some careful editing would really polish it off.





First, you need to check for typos, grammar, etc.


And then, keep in mind that it%26#039;s better to show, rather than tell. This chapter does a lot of telling.





But I thought you did a great job showing us her nervousness and the importance of the audition. It was a good hook in the beginning.





So now you just need to trim it down, polish your description of the city, and don%26#039;t tell us that she really wants the part (show us, like with the example of the t-shirt).
Reply:it was pretty good, but it didn%26#039;t attract me in, sry, but i still liked it anyways ^^ i rate it a 5 out of 10
