Okay, here you go: (I didn't forget you!) Not too bad! Main problems seem to be grammatical. You have a few sentences that could be split up into separate sentences instead of using commas. Example: Dave, crumpled back on the floor with what was left of the lamp under him ( . ) He looked down at his chest in disbelief, and gasped. You could use some "–" s instead of commas in some spots to better emphasize. Example: Dave should have been a CIA agent or a Detective ( delete comma,) – maybe a writer (he was full of s*** anyway) (delete comma,) – if he hadn’t injured his knee in College he would have been a very rich famous running back in the NFL and would be worried about signing autographs and avoiding groupies (or not avoiding). I recommend using dashes in this compound word: middle - class- mow- the- lawn, pet- the -cat -domestic types Word order recommendation for last sentence of CINDY: Parked in front of her hilly front lawn Cindy noticed what must have been his Black Lincoln. –sounds like Cindy is parked in front. –could change to: Cindy noticed what must have been his Black Lincoln parked in front of her hilly front lawn Confusion: The dashing from points A-D paragraph got a little hard to follow. Could you simplify it without losing your meaning? You seem to have some good character profiles going here. Thanks for posting. Sorry it took so long to comment – I didn't have computer access for a few days and yikes, did I get behind! sunni17 |
