Yeah I figured it was around that much.

I'm wondering what you mean by "edit" does that mean that you just fixed the spacing to your likeing, or did you do any othter editing?

I'm shooting for alot more pages too actually, after finishing the next few sections, I plan actually go back over what I have and give it a second draft. There are a whole bunch of things that I want to fix, add, and get rid of, expand on, describe, and make sound better. and I know for a fact that there are alot of places where I need to do "a lot"/"allot" conversions, and there are only about five places where "Siani" is spelt correctly.

After I get done, I'll post up Part 1: Draft 2. I'm shooting for doubling every section in size as well as doubling my page count. In the very least I'm going to go for a X1.5.

70 pages here we come!


By "Edit" I mean that I added a few obligatory "and"s, changes all your "it's" to "its," changed some commas to semicolons, spelled things correctly, changed up spacing a little bit to read a little better, and put double-spaces in the conversations/paragraphs to make it easier to read, because I'm nitpicky like that before I read things. xd

Except for spelling in a few places and the semicolons-in-place-of-commas, I made sure and left speech completely intact without any of those "ands" because that's how the person speaks, and not the actual writing.

If you want a copy to look over and perhaps work on your draft from I can send it to you. I saved it on my computer as "Jimmy's Story So Far" so I could go back and read it. sweatdrop There's probably a few problems still in there, I weeded most of them out with MSWord's spell/grammar check. I found a couple more when reading and changed them mid-read, but I'm sure I probably missed *some* (not saying your writing's all that terrible, just saying that I'm inobservant, even when being nit-picky lol ).

In totally unrelated news: WHY AM I STILL AWAKE?!! gonk

Egads. You're as bad as I used to be. I used to copy and paste fanfics into Word because I just couldn't stand all of the bad grammar. I'm not quite so obsessive compulsive these days, I suppose.

For a second I was trying to figure out what you meant.

My brain crossed the line a few times. In fact it brought back hostages. rofl

But I got it. What kind is he? My little X-Box is pug and skipperki, she's not getting any bigger, about the size of a toddler.

You spelled apparently wrong.

Skipperki is a breed of dog. I added a "y" it's supposed to be an "i" pardon me. I'll go edit it.

Edit: Oh, you meant in my sig sweatdrop Fixed.

Acutally, Bish gave it a grammar (and sorta kinda spelling) run through already, I'm not so worried about editing as of yet, this is only the first draft.

However there is some delicate spelling that I wish not to be changed. The word "Uhm" for example, not in your dictionary, but not because it should have been spelt "Umm" I chose to spell it with an "h" for a reason, and a "quick" spellcheck would change it for the worse. If you were offering a "careful editing" I would be more quick to jump on it, but I'll have to turn you down on this.
