Incan, I can't believe you think you can't write fiction. Sigh...

This is good. You have a talent for playing with the reader's emotions. Your characters are growing more real with each chapter. I feel this is a wonderful example of character development.

I found little to criticize in this chapter. Perhaps one thing is your tendency to wander a bit too much when it comes to inner-dialogue. I typically despise one line quips when it comes to inner-dialogue, but sometimes large paragraphs are just as bad. I feel this happens a few times here.

You have a talent for showing a scene that may ordinarily be mundane and expanding upon it to include emotion as well as thought.

I am (hopefully correctly) assuming this is told by Donny's girlfriend. I think her name is Janet. Anyway, have you considered naming each chapter after the character that narrates it? I think it would add a lot as well as help the reader know who is speaking at the beginning. If your purpose was to have them try and figure it out by reading it, then I suggest you don't take that route. Agree? Disagree?

I shall try to get to chapter four tonight, if I can.



Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.
