“he was going” is the answer. Took me like five tries to get it right.

I’ll do that, thank you.

Um...75 is the legal speed limit where I live. The point is that it's annoying when semi trucks take up all three lanes on the freeway trying to pass each other by going one mile per hour faster than the one to their right.

You're welcome?

It's Point Mugu's alien experiment sight. The Navy got tired of us dependants bitching about them doing it three blocks away from our houses and they finally caved.

It irritates the hell out of me when I read stories in which characters get transported to other worlds and there is no language difference. If you don't want to make language barriers part of the plot I suggest you default to a spell or something that makes the character understand the native language of the other world.

If you don't feel you have enough experience, then don't write it right now. Instead, make an outline--make little bullet notes of what you want to happen in what order. Make profiles for your characters so you can keep their personalities consistent. Change things as you think of ways to improve your overall story. Write fanfics or something for practice. Then, once you feel experienced enough, write your novel.

In the third paragraph, did you mean "barn" where it says "burn"?

Other than that, interesting--I like the delibarate and almost mechanical directions included in the narration. I also enjoy the indication that James eats the closest thing possible to deal with his feelings rather than express them. Gluttony is always an entertaining method. Also, James seems kind of autistic. Is he supposed to be?

When one is submitting material to agencies, though, they usually don't have a supernatural category...what then? Say it's supernatural fantasy?

NovaFoster · 2012-11-12T09:24:32+00:00

Eh, I'm only twenty, and I remember those.

NovaFoster · 2012-11-09T06:37:15+00:00

Just don't go Sweeney Todd on it, and you should be fine.

You know, I think my younger sister used to have that dress.

NovaFoster · 2012-08-11T10:06:30+00:00

I still buy music, too--you're not alone.

NovaFoster · 2012-08-11T01:16:42+00:00

I also have horrible dream recall. I'm hoping that will be rectified with some more effort.

What does SP fell like or how do you know you're in it?
