 Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2008 8:58 pm Post subject: time to move on my friend |
 |
|
The girl flipped the long blonde hair out of her face as she brushed a few dried tears from her cheek.
What an awful day! She was trying to get over it but her friends wouldn't let her.
"I can't believe you let that happen!" she heard her friend say lightly, as she sat down.
Her friend sat there with her lacy black, straight hair. Lying flat on her back as the bangs fell over her dark green eyes.
"Ya I'm fine, Draive." Jess said sarcastically.
"Oh, I'm sorry.You sure your good?" Draive asked as she patted her friend on the shoulder. She brushed the hair out of her eyes lightly.
"Ya." she answered with a sigh.
The day had gone very bad and Jess just couldn't stand it.
"I've to go, see you next week!" Jess called over her shoulder as she grabbed her bag and headed for the door out of the school cafiteria.
"See ya!" Draive called.She was going to have to mope around with her friend once again, instead of be her average self and try to get a boyfriend."Hu,"she sighed.
Another month ruined. It wasn't that she didn't like having Jess as a friend it was just that almost every month she would break up with another loser and mope....Mope all the next month! The time she did get to flirt was small. Would she ever get to find a boy just right for her?
She tossed her bag onto her shoulder and just as she reached the door.....Crash!
"Oh I'm so sorry. Are you ok?" Draive asked.
Draive opened her eyes to a mess that had splattered all over the door.... food.She turned to were it's source....
OH! her mind immediately crushed on the young boy. Gorgeous!
He wore an amazing hat that looked like it only would fit on his warm smile. His hair was a choppy act, but it fit she saw of him. His gentle ,moist eyes, his perfectly subtle lips,his cute out fit. That PILOT FOR KITE tee-shirt was big and his unzipped hoody added to the attraction.
"Ya, I'm fine but it doesn't look like my lunch is..." he answered referring to the mess...
"I'm so sorry about that! Can I buy you another one?" she asked. He was cute, that would have to be compensation for her loss in money.
"Oh no you don't have to...." he scratched the back of his head...

not bad, just go over it and correct spelling and punctuating. At this point I have no idea what Jess and everyone else looks like. You need to be more detail.
Once you correct this and add detail- Pm me ^_^ |

This is better. There were a few mistakes, but the written work was a lot better than before. Nice job.

I just went over easily repareable simple mistakes. Like forgetting to space stuff apart. Do this and it'll draw more readers in. ^_^ |

Well, hello there! Call me Sela. 
Okay, onto the review!

| The girl fliped the long blonde hair out of her face as she brushed a few dried tears from her cheek. |
Flipped, not fliped. How can you brush dry tears from your cheek, that's like saying 'she squeezed the water out of her dry shirt'. If the tears are dry, they're not there anymore! Maybe rephrase it like so:
'The girl flipped long blonde hair out of her face, brushing some stray tears off her cheek.'
| Quote: |
| What an awfull day! |
Awful, not awfull. xD
| Quote: |
| she heard her freind scream as she sat down. |
Friend* Oh, and I'd suggest replacing scream with something like 'sigh'.
| Quote: |
| Her freind sat there with her lacy black, straight hair. Lying flate on her back as the bangs fell over her dark green eyes. |
Again, friend*. Lacy? Maybe it's just me, but how exactly can hair be lacy? And that sentence, in itself, is rather odd. Sat there with her lacy black hair? 0_0
I'd just suggest you rephrase. 
Flat, not flate. And try putting it more like this: 'Laying flat on her back, her bangs sweeping over her dark green eyes.' Or something of that sort.
| Quote: |
| Jess said sarcasticly. |
Sarcastically.
| Quote: |
| "I got to go see you next week." |
"I've got to go, see you next week!"
I've emboldened the stuff I thought should be fixed.
| Quote: |
| "See ya!" Draive called.She was going to have to mop around with her friend once again insted of be her average self and try to get a boyfriend."Hu!"she sighed. |
'"See ya!" Draive called. She was going to have to mope around with her friend once again, instead of being her usual self and trying to get a boy friend. "Huh," she sighed.'
This sentence seems chronically awkward. Try rephrasing.
| Quote: |
| Draive opened her eyes to a mess all over the back of the door....food.She turned to were it originated.... |
'Draive opened her eyes to the mess that had splattered all over the door... food. She turned to it's source...'
Space between the '...' and 'food'. I rephrased it, also.
| Quote: |
| OH! her mind amediatly crushed on the younge boy. Gourgus! |
Immediately, and there's no 'e' at the end of 'young'. Gorgeous, not gourgus.

This bit immediately stuck out to me as a rather odd part of the story. Let me go over it for you...
'He wore an amazing hat that looked like it would only fit on with his warm looking smile. His hair was a choppy act, but it fit everything what she saw of him. His (put another adjective here, you just used warm), moist eyes, his perfectly subtle pair of lips, and his perfect cute outfit. His PILOT FOR KITE tee-shirt was big, and his unzipped jacket only added to the attraction.'
Again, this was quite an odd description. Try rephrasing?
I fixed as much as I saw, though.
| Quote: |
| "Ya, I'm fine but it doesn't look like my lunch is..." he andwered refering to the mess... |
'"Yeah, I'm fine, but it doesn't look like my lunch is..." he answered, referring to the mess.'
| Quote: |
"I'm so sorry about that. Would you mind me buying you another lunch?" she asked.He was cute,that had to count for her loss in money.
"Oh no you don't have to...." he scratched the back of his head... |
'"I'm so sorry about that! Can I buy you another one?" she asked. He was cute, that would have to be compensation for her loss in money.
"No, it's okay. You don't have to." he scratched the back of his head.'
Honestly, I think that it was rather boring. You need to put something in it that makes the reader want more.
Something that makes them say, 'PM me when you put more up!'
And your descriptions need work. Try to keep the dialogue interesting, also. A lot of people don't seem to think of 'talking' when they write. That's what usually annoys or bores me the most, when reading the dialogue ends up making me feel like I'm going over the lines from 'Barbie: Animal Island'. Or whatever they're coming out with these days.
Just keep working on the dialogue, characters, and description. (And try to liven up the plot.)
You're at the YWS, there's always someone willing to help!
Best 'o luck,
-Sela ^^
P.S. I cut out the 'scratched his head' part. It was anti-climactic. |

All I really noticed was your spelling mistakes. Just check over stuff before you post it. USe spell check, that's what I do. Other than spelling I like this. The plot is great. I can't wait to see what happenes next.
Keep writing!

wow i really like your story
it is a straight A plus
you gave a lot of details
you made the characters seem
like they were actually there
well i dont know about everybody
else but it sure did to me
i wonder what will happen next
of yeah but i gotta admit i did
kinda get confused at first I thought
Draives friend was the one who had
lost her boyfriend so if she lost her
boyfriend and wanted to find the
perfect one why didn't she run into
the boy and start flirting blah, blah
well maybe i don't know what i'm
talking about so bye |
