An extract from the book I'm writing. Do you think it's good or should I lay off writing for good?
Some of the best writing samples I've seen here. Good goin' OP, keep at it.
Thank you so much anon
what's with the cyrillic quotation marks
Could be because it's a translation from my mother language. Is it wrong?
>Is it wrong?
NTA, but it just looks weird to an English speaker. It's OK once I realize what it is.
What language? Spanish?
Italian
Close enough. We use those «» in Spanish too, but do remember English dialogue is written with “these”.
thank you spanish brother, I'll remember it for next time
Not bad, but this section is boring and really drags, feels like filler. I would cut the words of this passage in half at least. Are you ESL by any chance? Some odd word choices and constructions, but your grammar is good.
yes, I'm not english. Thank you, I understand. Why do you think it's boring? Any tips on what to cut off?
I can tolerate the prose. Good job, anon. How long would you estimate the finished draft to be?
Thank you anon! I think it will take another six months to have a cohesive draft
How many pages, at least approximately?
I'm at 100 pages now, I count to reach at least 320. I've wrote these in a month, but I'm slowing down considerably
It's time to stop reading 19th century novels
I can’t, I love them
It's pretty good but it sounds like you are just using the Arthurian names as a gimmick, which isn't a terrible thing to do but you should read From Ritual to Romance or something.
>From Ritual to Romance
That's a great rec, anon. I love Arthurian legend and I've been studying it for a while now, but my story is only loosely based on it. Thank you
