"Hi Linnea. I started to read the other comments, but stopped myself at one point. You're getting a lot of advice, so I'll try to be brief. 1) She is bloody, but not human? 2) The setting seems both ominous and carefree. I think you're…"

"@Danielle -- I wrote chronologically on my first draft to the 2/3s point, then started going back through to find out if I was writing a story or just a long something else :)
I have issues with upping the stakes, so I started making sure that was…"
Deni Cary Phillips replied to the discussion 'How did you come up with the opening paragraphs of your novel?' in the group Novelists (Struggling or Not)
"Hi Jannette. I have similar issues. I probably rewrote the beginning a dozen times. It is so important to get it right. I think I finally settled on the "right" one, and I did it by considering what the reader really needed to know about…"

"I like the picture, but as a cover it's not busy enough for my taste. I think the title needs to be bigger and the image is lost in the words. Someone should write a line of praise for the book or your writing. For example, the first one I…"

"Hi Lynne. When it comes to revising I think everybody deserves to do it in a way that makes sense to them. I write chronologically, and dump out a bunch of words before I go back, but I know in my gut when something isn't spot on. Sometimes…"

You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on.
