I just joined an online critique group and sent in my first chapter. I have only received on email in response to my submission. I was very encouraged by the critique.
Basically they thought my writing was okay. I didn't break any major rules. The one thing he encouraged me to do was add more sensory descriptors. What is the character seeing, smelling, touching, hearing.
He also mentioned not to rush my story. I think I have been so caught up in not adding unnecessary words that I end up rushing through the scenes without bringing the reader into the story.
It was not a rave review but now I have something to go on as far as what I need to work on.
Thank you to everyone who has read parts of my story and given me your honest opinion. I would love to hear that my writing is great and wonderful, but that will not help me become a better writer.
