Tess's Potions

Doll-Elf · 03-13-2015

Hi Processians, I am Doll-Elf, a new up and coming writer. I have done RP for many years on several games, one being World of Warcraft and after some time a friend suggested I make stories and see how other may like them. This is my attempt at such a feat. While normally I am more used to Roleplay format where I am in charge of my own character and a small number of others with a group I found writing alone to be a small challenge. Bear with me as I stumble around, learning what works and what doesn't.

Hi Doll Elf! Welcome to the process!

Salutations, lass, and welcome to our fair gathering place. It's always nice to see someone new getting started writing; after all, from humble beginnings do masterpieces spring.

I'm an old hand at writing size fiction, especially shrinking. Regarding your current piece, I'll provide feedback, as you requested.

The good:
It's obvious you have a sense of humor. Always a positive.
Though the piece was short, I got a pretty decent sense that Tess is a lively character with potential.
Hard to be sure from such a short work, but you seem to have a decent eye for detail.
It's interesting enough that I'd check out the next part.

The bad:
You could probably use some proofreading. I've seen worse...far worse *shudder*...but you do have some errors, chief among them a tendency to use a comma and lowercase letter when you should use a period and start a new sentence.

If you keep at it, and mind your grammar, you've got potential.

Thank you very much for the help in looking into it. I do have a bad habit of using the comma way to much. I just never know when I should use a period or continue. -shrug-. I should look up something on that matter.

Looks like your lucky LK didn't get his hands on ya.
Or maybe my story just sucked really bad. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Try starting a new paragraph when different characters speak as opposed to mashing them all together into one giant paragraph. That creates a visual prompt for "<X> finished speaking and now <Y> is responding." It'll definitely help your readers distinguish between characters--and is very helpful when there are 3 or more characters speaking or doing things in the same scene.

I'm not a big fan of breaking the fourth wall (unless it's done well and integrates with the story), so I would put warnings/disclaimers/requests for feedback outside of the actual story, but... To each their own.

Still? Not a bad first outing, and I'm curious as to what happens in part 2!

Here is part two. I took in your advice and tried to make it look cleaner. There will be more parts, but I took this time to add another character tot he mix and explain the situation. Part three will probably be the part everyone wants to see, but to make a good story I (like others) like a bit of foreplay. -wink-
