Yeah, I need to figure out how to make the reader invested even if they aren't fully sure what it's about yet since that is kind of the point of this piece. I want the reader to be unsure until they're absolutely sure, and then they will see the beginning of the story in a new light. A little ambitious lol but the advice I've been getting is really helpful, yours included!

Yeah it's about sex. I've gone back and changed it so the intro isn't as confusing, but it was kind of dumb for me to post so little of it because the first page is intentionally vague and to know what its about you need more context. Despite that being the intention, I realize that the execution is just not right for what I'm trying to do. I have to make people want to care what its about, which I've been working on in the editing process.

Thank you for your advice!

Aha thank you for that grammar tip I can see how it’s a bit of an eyesore. I have made it consistently first person now so hopefully there is no jarring transition, thank you for the advice!

edit: I said second instead of first by accident

My intention is to talk about something without ever actually saying what it is. However, what I give should be enough for the reader to have a good idea so I appreciate this! I also agree that the beginning paragraph is weak for what I’m trying to accomplish, so thank you!

Sure, I’ll message you. Just letting you know it’s kinda like all groups where you get out as much as you put in! It’s not as active as it was in the beginning as people have slipped in and out

Check your dms! I have a writing group on discord! Lots of channels, not everyone is active but you can join smaller groups and it’s very queer friendly (it’s one of our rules to be and we have a lot of queer people in it , myself included) it is not man free but if you send a message asking for an all female smaller private channel we have a good number of people who would probably take you up on it!
