    Wow... I've felt like that sometimes..... I liked that part about "my" brother being autistic. I've grown up around one, and I know how they act. That one word describes ...

    You don't necessarily have to cut out all of the descriptions. Start it out with some action done by Tirian, then add some personal thoughts of his. Add descriptions after ...

    Sometimes things just get overlooked. Other times, it's long enough that it may take a couple setting to get through, and a few notes. I've done a handful of critiquing, ...

    :P Cool :P A werewolf! Hmmmm. Right, critiquing. In the first 2 paragraphs, you used 'He' wayyy too much. You don't want to use 'werewolf' there, though. That's a pleasant ...

    Hmm. I can't think now. It's only 9 p.m., but it feels like 11. I agree with Tessitore. In the begining your characters are kinda transparent. All that can be ...

    I don't care what the others say. I like Ama'Ali. She's got a quirky, outgoing attitude that sets her apart from every other character I've ever read about. No matter ...

    It's interesting, though a bit of background could do a world of wonders. I'll assume that is covered previously. Just so you know what I mean by 'background', I mean ...

It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats—the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill —The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it—and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another.
