will you read my short story?

Sign in to disble this ad
Anyone interested in killing some time and reading one of my short stories? I would appreciate the feedback publically or privately, brutal honesty appreciated. There's more there if you want to read them. "Black White" is my personal favorite.

Mirror NOTE: this was written for a 7 yr old kid.

Astor is my pen name.

Thank you.

Doesn't look like it, but that was a good story.

Good to hear from you again, Wilser.

I'm no critic, but it isn't bad. A little bit of "polish" nad I think it could be quite good.

Honesty, it was like eating a really dry sandwich, there wasn't anything that really stood out and the lack of detail makes it hard to picture eh setting or characters. Also paragraphs contain more than 2 sentences. It's a cool idea but it needs to be written into a story rather than a string of events in an almost bulletined list.

Thanks for your honest feedback!

I should have added that this was written for my 7 yr old daughter.

not bad, as said before, needs some more details, and a bit of polishing. but overall, a good bass-line story. now, just build on it.
