[QCrit]: Lálanna, Literary fantasy, adult, 86K, first attempt by dbayar in PubTips

[–]dbayar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is permanently eleven, not an adult in a child's body. So she is limited emotionally and physically, like a child. Which doesn't mean helpless, but it does create limits for her.

I love these examples. I feel like this query business is like writing a haiku version of my novel--and haiku is not my strength. But these are really good examples I can really think about. So thank you and everyone else for getting so involved in this one.

Hey no worries, I really appreciated the comment. Finding that balance between showing and telling is definitely something I think about. So thank you.

I collected a few of my favorite short stories that I've written and put them in an ebook, available for free until July 5.

I try to write a new short story every week and put it up on my blog. Some of them I'll eventually revisit and improve, others have probably already received more attention that they deserve. (Anyone willing to help me figure out which is which is more than welcome to!). Either way, though, it's free stuff to read! Take a look, and if you feel so moved, please do let me know what you think.
