Your observations are hilarious!!! From what I see, the flaws you indicated aren't that big! You should defiantly be able to do something great with what you got...
Ok, this is what you get for trusting the spell check to much. It "definitely", not "defiantly". See?? I could use some editing (and maybe some sleep) myself.
Oh, for the love of god, this must stop. Sorry for spamming your inbox. Seems I lost the ability to write properly. Not that I ever had it in the first place. ;)
You're so cute! It seems like you're the one that told me if you don't point your typos out then other people won't notice them, and it's true! I might have noticed "defiantly" though, just because it's an actual word. ;)
Yay, glad you finished reading it, and I agree, your observations are hilarious. Indeed, what's the floor fixation? Now I'm trying to think if there was a single mention of floor covering in my novel. :)
Time spans are hard.
Oh, man, yes they are! I read conversations aloud while timing them, I act out the actions my characters are supposedly doing, and I try to remember things like how long it takes to drive across a bridge. Time is hard.
300,000 words and no floor coverings, huh? I really don't know what my deal is with the floors... I certainly never mentioned wallpaper. :P
Time is hard! I'll have to try the reading aloud thing. When you're writing it seems like it's taking a long, long time for them to say all this dialogue, but when you read it goes by so quick. I had one scene where the sister was starting to make dinner, and the MC goes upstairs to talk to her niece, and then the sister calls them down for dinner after what could only have been about a three minute conversation. But it didn't feel like it was that short when I wrote it.
Oh my, I foresee long days of much groaning and shaking of heads at the contradictions and plot-holes and Gary Stu-ness of your main character. Fun, fun, fun! :)
It's definitely going to be a big job!! My main character is such a Gary Stu that I probably should have killed him sooner and left him dead. ;) According to the online test for Mary-Sueness that I found, being resurrected is a sure sign of a Mary-Sue all by itself. But unfortunately, the resurrection scene is kind of integral to my plot. :P Dang, it's a silly story. :D
