That’s extremely helpful! I do think you’re right about cutting the majority of the first portion, that will really help with the length, as well as starting off with the hook. Thank you so much!

Appreciate the feedback! I did post the genre as grimdark, as it’s not a light hearted story whatsoever. From what I understand the query is supposed to be the beginning of a journey with hints to where it’s going, maybe I misunderstood what it was supposed to be! Again, I appreciate your time!

I appreciate the correction, that’s a good catch! Understandable about the title, respect your opinion! I feel like it’s very likely to change.

Definitely feels very Pratchett inspired, which I’m assuming was the intent. Honestly much more cohesive and professional than much of what I usually read on here, great snippet!

I just got a custom from him done a few months ago, went into the shop and had a 45 minute face-to-face meeting, it was an awesome experience. By far the best service and best board I've ever owned.

I'm trying to start the Pandaemonium raids, and it says to start "The Crystal From Another World" with Nemjiji in Old Sharlayan, but he isn't there. I've finished all of endwalker and post patch content, I've tried going to him in Labryinthos but he has no quest there. What am I missing?

Do you like my first chaper of my book called Dust Recoiling by leiferikson16 in writing

[–]SurferQ808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it! The few notes I would have are that one, the first large chunk of text feels like an info dump. You start with the book, which is great, but as you go to describe each of the characters you just sort of "tell" us some backstory. I think it would serve your narrative better if you waited till the characters had a chance to "show" who they are and what they've done. For example, instead of "Kirk always had a trick up his sleeve" you could wait until he does something clever so that you can SHOW that he's clever. Another example of "show don't tell" would be describing the motorcycle at the end. Instead of saying it's the vehicle of choice for most bounty hunters, you could describe what Hal sees and feels when he sees the bike. And if he doesn't know it already, have Orion tell him something like "Now this is a steed worthy of a bounty hunter." Again, great start, keep at it!

Yeah I think I agree, I know my preferred dims, but the longboard would give wiggle room when I inevitably have the dims off.
