What are your editing tips? I mean not just personal but your selection of 'loved ones' to critique?
RULE ONE
Giving to boyfriend only destroys relationships. usually. Has great potential.
In my case i gave it to the one guy i'd kill myself to keep alive [erm... don't take that seriously. I have *issues*] and what did he say after reading my (personally) fantastic stroke of genius?
"Yeah, it's alright. So boring though and you have no idea about anything you wrote. Seriously take up another hobby, Nic, because i'd burn this if i bought it. or i'd burn myself to get it out of my head."
Well bullet in his heart it is. Mwahahah.
RULE TWO
Keep a timeline.
When i got my good old year 7 teacher to read it she returned it to tell me (apart from being a good start... yay) in the space of 2 days my MC's had 3 near death experiences, travelled across 2 states, the family had two huge arguments, and in the beginning of one chapter they wouldn't have intimate relationship, yet by the end of that chapter the girl was saying that should've been the first time.
Erm. Yes.
I'm a terrible writer, i get that now
