Writing troubles · 1:06am Jun 11th, 2012
Aargh! It sucks. Not the new chapter of Strong Cider, Weak Hearts, per se. Just writing it. I'm getting to the sad part of the story. I want to be writing the fluffy-wuffy conclusion already! I've got it all planned out, see. (I think I'll enjoy writing chapter 5 the most.)
Oh well. I'm only around one thousand words into Chapter 3 at the moment. It'll probably be around twice that at the least. It's pretty hard to estimate. I know my chapters are super-short, and that's probably because I'm not that good at descriptive text. The environment, the characters' movements, their thoughts and feelings. I feel like if I write more text per scene, it's so repetitive or vacant that it doesn't really add anything.
Oh, and if you've got any critique, please do leave it in a comment! I'm looking for problems both with the text as a whole and with my use of the English language. It's not my first language - you might have noticed - so I might do silly stuff with it. Grammar nazis are welcome.
Im terrible at grammar so can't help you there
but if ur you have to you could always look for a editer and proofreader

I don't really... know where to look. Well, I guess if somebody who reads this is interested, then I certainly wouldn't mind.
167865 I know someone made a guide on this website on looking for editors and proof readers. it should be under recent news in the main page.

It appears to be off the front page list now. Too bad I missed it (I never even noticed the sidebar).
167982 well what it basically said is to go to Groups on you bar thingy and search Editors or Proofreaders it will give you list of groups and then just chose one.
We have a group for proof-readers, yes. I am one.

I went the long route through searching for groups and seeing you in the proof-reader googledoc before realizing you obviously have a link to the group under your profile.... Thanks for the tip!
