An interesting book you're reading there, Alex. I usually write in third person as it allows me to write in the views of all of the characters in my story, although only one of the characters is the main character and the one I write about most.Alexander wrote:I'm a simple "that-dude-that-reads-books" guy and I'm not worth anything other than grammar and spelling checks, but I guess that I'm really just a "It's not an every day or average love story so I find this more interesting" kind of reader. They're like two opposites that somehow connect anyway.
Honestly I thought that there was no side as to who the author was focused on. I thought it was just third person omniscient. After seeing it this way it made more sense.
It's always nice to have a proofreader to check your story for you, in my case it's my dad ;] The prologue is indeed a chapter that sets the scene, describes destination, climate and weather, characters etc. It's to give your reader a feel of what the story is about, so your setting the scene to get the reader interested. I often rush though my story when I'm writing an intense scene, and I do get confused between 'your/you're' and 'were/we're'. A good way to avoid too many mistakes is to check through a chapter you've just written for any mistakes.StarWolf wrote:Oh, thanks for the tips, Kazz. ^.^
I guess microsoft Word didn't pick up on the misspelling. It also missed all the Your/You're errors that a proofreader so kindly pointed out to me(He deserves all the turtles in the world now).
The prolouge was meant to introduce the parents of the main characters, just to show readers what their thought processes were like and their complicated relationship. Chapter one is set in the point of view of one of the offspring, and I'm still debating to make the other chapters switch from different views... opinions on that?
But if there are still mistakes, there's nothing to worry about. If your readers enjoy reading your story and request that you edit it, you can always make a second edition (a second version of the book with less mistakes and maybe even a slight change of plot/characters).
Keep writing everyone ;] Hone your writing skills! It comes in very handy!
