A few months ago some authors auctioned of their critique services to raise money for a friend’s medical bills. I jumped at the chance to have one of my fave authors look at my work, even though I had nothing to show her at the time.
Well, a week or so ago I finally emailed Angela Knight my completed novella, THE DEVIL INSIDE, to read. I love Angela’s books. Her Mercanaries series first got me hooked, and I’ve enjoyed the Mageverse stories. But Jane’s Warlord is still my favorite. I can’t wait until Warfem is released. She’s an author that I think writes fantastic hot and sexy love stories, so her opinion is valued.
I just finished going through the cirtique she sent back, and SHE LIKED IT!!! :hehe: :laugh: :hehe:
In her email she said, and I quote, “The writing is strong, the characterization is well-drawn and likeableβ particularly Gina β and the sex is very well done.” π
And although it was very obvious I still need to work on my grammar skills, (damn those comma’s!:angry: ) and sentence structures, the manuscript also contained comments like …“This is HOT.” and “By the way, you’re doing a really good job of building the conflict. Very skillful here.”
:hehe: :laugh: :hehe: :laugh: :hehe:
Yes, I am dancing around like an idiot!!
Awesome! π
Congrats on getting Angela Knight to read your story! It’s great that she liked it. :hehe: I’m sure you’re still in cloud 9!
WhooHooo on your great critique!! π And don’t worry about those pesky commas. Just leave them out. :hehe:
That sounds great! You must be so psyched! π
Thanks!!
I am still very happy with it. I’m going to take her notes and polish that baby up!! Add another sex scene. π and sell it so you all can tell me what YOU think. π
That’s fabulous! Congratulations and you keep dancing sweetie, you deserve it π Angela’s such a terrific writer (and a lovely person too) to get her positive words on your work is bound to feel fantastic! Lifting my glass to all your recent successes!
Thanks, Saskia!!
It’;a ctually very motivating! I’m in ..gotta write mode. π Unfortunately, I have to work tonite. :plain:
Did you doubt that you are very talented. I know that one day we will see you on the "Best Sellers" List!! So proud, congrats!!
Woo Hoo! I’d be dancing too. Congrats!
Woohoo! Nice comments AND valuable advice. Can’t beat that! π
Great! Keep up the good work. I’m sure you are doing the happy dance.
Congrats, sweetie! That’s truly awesome. π
Congratulations. That’s great. Could you write a term paper for me?
PS: 7 more sleeps!
Who hOoo… Still dancing. Thanks everyone! :hehe:
Sasha – That is amazing! Angela Knight is a terrific writer. Having her give such high praise to your work must be a huge thrill. I’m so excited for you π
That is a Kick-Ass Crit Sasha!
– Don’t worry about the commas, that’s what editors are for. The hard part is STORY, CHARACTER & SEX. If you got those – and Angela said you did – then you got the biggies, the stuff an editor CAN’T fix!
Just so you know, if something had been wrong AK WOULD have said something. (Guess how I found out? *still smarting too*)
You did GOOD chick! Have a fruity boozer and smile!
