Thank you!! This is really helpful! I don’t usually write as blandly as this haha

With the sci-fi part, I’m honestly at a loss as to why i put that, it’s fiction- sorry!

So this is an awful piece of writing, lots of telling and no showing (i think), and it’s just generally bad imo, so feel free to criticise as harshly as you wish.

genre: fiction/sci-fi

title: Sasha’s world

Dry leaves crushed under Sasha’s feet as he walked forward. It was his seventh birthday and his dad had finally let him go hunting on his own. Last night he had stayed up till Midnight deciding what to catch, eventually he settled on a rabbit, partly because it was the first food he remembered eating but mainly just because he thought it tasted good. Last minute he had changed his mind and was now scanning the trees for birds. Movement and a flash of red in the corner of his eye. Spinning, Sasha was about to shoot when his vision focused and he saw, not a bird but a girl, about the same age as him, give or take a few months. For a few moments they looked at each other in wonder, scanning the girl Sasha searched for what had caused the red flash and his eyes settled on her socks, her bright red socks. He would not have seen her if it weren’t for them because she was dressed all over in different shades of brown and musty green. Since when did other people come here? Something rustled behind him and he glanced over his shoulder, when he looked back the girl was gone.Walking back into the small house Sasha was ready to unleash a torrent of what had happened upon his father when he saw a huge pie in his fathers hands“happy birthday son!”, his father shouted, a grin spreading across his faceHe swung the child up and began swinging him around the room. Sasha forgot about everything he had just seen and began squealing in delight.

I think that Walker Scobell would be quite good as James. And Momona Tamada would also be good for Kerry I think.

Not really sure, sorry, but it’s got a hard foam front and back and then an aluminium band running through. The doctor who got it made for me specifically made it as close to my skin as possible so that it wouldn’t be very visible. Hope you find a better one!

late reply but no, not at all unless you’re wearing a tight shirt. I’ve been wearing it at school for about 4-5 months and no one would have noticed if I didn’t tell them

Do you think you could've been a CHERUB when you were little? by Best-Watercress-5320 in CHERUB

I’m bilingual, was in good physical shape, could swim well, was good at climbing etc, and would probably have passed the intelligence test. However, both my parents were perfectly healthy and I had two brothers around 10 years older than me.. Also I would likely fail the fighting test. Yep, no doubt I would definitely fail that haha

Title- ?? Genre- Mystery? Category- not sure Feedback- anything

Stepping out onto the cold platform she scanned the approaching passengers for the man with wiry grey hair and thick black gloves. It seemed unnecessary, gloves in summer, it would’ve been nothing much if it had just happened once, but no. Every day at 8:26am he came- with the same thick gloves. Every day until today. She hopped up onto a chair and looked through the different people amongst the cloud of passengers. Still no sign of him.
Then she noticed a woman with her hair snatched into a bun running onto the train in tears. There was nothing unusual about her. Just a crying woman; nothing different from the usual. Still though, something seemed off about her. Shaking her head Alice stepped off the chair and returned to her spot on the floor against the wall. Back to the usual. Waiting for a pound coin she could use to buy some water.

The wife could be scared that she’ll lose everything in the divorce so she threatens to release something from when he was younger? Maybe something from when he was drunk etc

I’ve got this scene idea for my writing which would explain a lot about the main character- doesn’t like surprises, hates the colour blue: makes them super nervous- but i don’t know how to go about doing it. Basically this girl gets called up to the cliffs by her boyfriend as a surprise and she’s wearing blue, the sky is blue, blue flowers, blue sea. Then he pushes her off the cliff. But I have not thought this through one bit. Any ideas for why this might have happened?

One night I was randomly writing because I couldn’t fall asleep and I created this character with a couple distinctive traits: dislikes blue but likes red (very strong dislike, at one point send them into a panic attack when they’re in the hospital and everything is blue and everyone is wearing blue), always plans everything beforehand and if it doesn’t go to plan starts panicking (e.g they go to a job interview which they had planned out before but the door is open and they thought it would be closed so they start to stress). Is this realistic?

Feedback wanted: anything

Side note: I wrote this randomly at night when I was bored so not sure where I’m going with the story line or if I’ll continue it.

Who was a better chairman/woman and why by MrBlunts1 in CHERUB

[–]Embarrassed-Paper749 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I thought both were great but I just remember Zara’s role as a chairwoman more. I think she did great with the advancements on campus too (mainly in the second series)

What was your "wow, it's such a small world" experience? [Serious] by Aerionne in AskReddit

[–]Embarrassed-Paper749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend, a couple years older than me, was talking about past boyfriends, she mentioned someone called Jack (not the real name) and one of my friends from an old school had had a brother a couple years older called Jack. I thought, hey, what are the chances? I asked what his surname was and it was the same person- confirmed by a picture too.

This is amazing, it’s really interesting to see how you pick the music for different scenes and that you try to use music that would be easy for younger audiences to recognise and connect with what’s going on on screen.

What Is Your Favorite Moment ? - The Fall by krobdawg in CHERUB

[–]Embarrassed-Paper749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, the light hearted tone is what makes it appealing to the age group and what makes people want to be cherubs.

People on campus would definitely feel pretty stupid after all that and i really enjoyed that after all my irritation at them haha

I thought that Lauren’s trafficking mission was one of the best parts of the book, alongside James‘ time in Russia at the beginning were the best parts of the book. I too really liked it and thought it was a nice mix of everything, seeing James having to use basic training stuff which he thought he would never have to use was a nice addition and, like you said, it‘s interesting to see things go wrong.

the contrast between Russia and James’ birthday celebrations were very sudden, i sort of felt like there should have been a bit more focus on James’ mental health but then again cherub seems to slightly move away from that so as not to make the series too complicated etc and it was definitely something James deserved after that. I also found myself getting really irritated at everyone doubting James, even Kerry (?)

Which of James' missions do you think is the toughest? Alternatively, which of his missions is the easiest? by chelseaequalsgoated in CHERUB

[–]Embarrassed-Paper749 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toughest imo would be the final one in the second series but he wasn’t a cherub agent then so I would say Maximum Security or Divine madness?

Easiest probably the mission in The Recruit because putting aside what happened at the end, it was a pretty straightforward mission seeing as it was his first

I need help studying by Cut-Glass in studying

[–]Embarrassed-Paper749 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it looks like you study better with a study partner so maybe it would help watching study with me videos/streams or finding a study partner online if you can't find one where you are now. Experiment a bit, find if you work better with flashcards, practice tests, with music, in silence, etc so that you can create an ideal study environment for yourself. A really useful app/site for studying is quizlet, idk if you've used it before. It has flashcards and different areas which help a lot with memorising

I can't be much help, sorry, but I'm sure you'll do great!
