OMG Theif!

It's been so long since I've got contact to you! You had a mistake here...

"She is in Hurricane's care father, do not worry." said the night who wore black armor.

Shouldn't it be knight not night?

You also had a few more mistakes. Read it over to yourself! See if you can catch then!

Your friend,

D7M :D

Don’t be discouraged. I read a lot of your reviews by the others and I am baffled by their lack of compassion. Your story is difficult to get into and it doubtless needs improvement (which am I sure that our peers have already told you) but I am not going to criticize a person who has taken more then her fair share. What I would like to say is, for being a mere fifteen years of age, you did okay. It’s a start. Write more and keep it up.

If you feel like some pointers, read on. If not, skip this next paragraph… I won’t be offended. :)

My “pointers” would be this: keep in mind that dialogue flows when it corresponds with the time period you’ve chosen. You gave me the impression these people were fighters, warriors. I’m imagining that they are in a place where castles are common and magic is as easy as breathing. That structure demands formality… what I mean is, they would probably call their father “sir” instead of “dad.” They would not say “shut up” but instead demand silence. They kidnapped a child! That says to me one thing- that they are calculating and, because of this, perhaps they should be a little more careful of what they sayand do, even in front of family members.

In any case, you are doing fine. You’ve done the hardest part; you’ve got an idea. Now comes the next step- develop it. So great job! So few people remember that everyone starts somewhere…
