No, mutant was a better theory, no matter what...

Re: First Five Pages (Contemporary YA)

I like the relationship between Seb and Grayson. Please make sure that you always use a new paragraph for each new speaker in dialogue, I got lost toward the end there. I'd have to see more of the book to know if this is the best place to start the book...but I would probably start it when Grayson a...

Re: What Did Adverbs Ever Do to You?!

"You dirtily wrote a sentence involving the word apparently?" I said disgustedly. To which I replied, "It's closer to say I became increasingly dirtier whilst writing a sentence using the word 'apparently', but the true extent of my dirtiness hadn't become apparent until I more close...

Re: Do you need a Critique Partner?

Also, I think that maybe starting with the first two or three chapters would work, just to see how well we'd work together. :)

Re: Query--Sendek--3rd revision page 2

I really like the idea. I like it when sci-fi meets fantasy. (Like Star Wars or books by LE Modesitt Jr.) The third revision looks good to me! Good luck with this!

Re: What Did Adverbs Ever Do to You?!

They are mainly to be avoided mostly. (haha.)

This was discussed at a writer's conference I went to. If it takes you twenty or so words to get around the use of an adverb, you may want to consider using it. Other than that, I think you shouldn't.

Ooh I like it! I really like the way you've rephrased the query. The last paragraph particularly rocks. Good luck with t his! (And I hope to see a page or two...I'm better with those than queries. ;))
