    Very recently I've been writing a book.

    I really like writing, but I don't do much of it.
    I've been doing this just to kind of get it out of my system and possibly get some practice in.

    I didn't intend on showing anyone, but since this is anonymous I figure there is no harm in getting some opinions.

    You can read what I have so far at

    ripclarisse.tumblr.com

    You're going to want to scroll to the very bottom of the site to get to the first page of the book since I am posting it in blog form.

    Also, there isn't a huge intense plot yet or anything. It's barely past the intro yet.

    hey, have you heard of deviant art? I think you'll fit right in with the other writers!

    Ha, well I never really used that site so I didn't actually know there was a place for writing there.
    Maybe I will try it out, though. For the most part I didn't like that site, though...

    Not that I like 4chan...

    >>784727
    I don't actually expect you to, but I am asking in hopes that maybe at least one person will and give me some constructive criticism or any sort of feedback.

    I don't really give a fuck about your writing, but where'd you get the picture?
    Girl seems cute.

    I just wanted your opinion, man.

    I thought you guys liked reading so maybe one of you would be bored enough to give it a try.

    BUT FINE I WILL FIND SOME OTHER NERDY SITE DAMN IT.

    It seems like generic Young Adult fiction. Think about what's going to make it stand out from the horde of contemporary YA fiction out there.

    I really don't know why I'm reading this, it's really bad.

    I'll have more to say when I can't take anymore

    Yeah, well like I said, things are going to get more interesting.

    I do appreciate you reading and the input.
    But yeah I don't plan on just having it be some highschool drama.

    I would really appreciate some reasons as to why it's so awful.

    I believe you that it is because it's mostly just an experiment to get my brain working again.
    I haven't written in years.

    But that's kind of why I am writing it, so that I can improve.

    So I would really, really appreciate some actual things it/I could improve on.

    Also I know almost nothing about writing.
    It's all just what I've picked up from reading other books.

    I didn't read the whole thing, but it looked passable writing from what I skimmed over.

    some of it needs improvement, but I'd say not bad. Keep it up- right not stands at 7/10 level

    Don't listen this kind of ass holes. Sorry but in this day /lit/ isn't the correct place to ask for opinions or "constructive" criticism.

    Thanks, is there anything you'd advise?

    I am realizing right now that I have a bad habit of short sentences.

    Also, another reminder that I do plan on having more of a plot but I just want to build it up first.

    Aside from the Fahrenheit 451 references I thought it was awful

    I think books like this do better in first person.
    >> Anonymous 06/13/10(Sun)22:50 No.784810
    You might want to work on dialog, it was pretty blad. and the "new kid" thing is somewhat overdone in Young Adult stuff, but it didn't seem as bad as most. Also the part about where you kept repeating "the human male" was awkward
