It is only about 50% understandable in its current form. It seems like it is probably a very good story but the final editing is abominable!!!
I’ve said consistently all feedback is welcome. I reached out to a number of volunteer editors and got zero replies to even a simple enquiry. This story is my first attempt at any form of creative writing, and I’m undoubtedly learning as I go. If I weren’t holding down a full time job and having caring responsibilities at home, perhaps I might go back and redo the story from the start, but I think I’m unlikely to find that sort of time.
I write to enjoy and hopefully entertain, but in that order. Based on viewing and rating feedback, I think people are enjoying my efforts. I’ll endeavour to do my best in future chapters, but bear in mind my technique is developing as I go.
So far this is a really good series. The other anonymous commentator is screaming at you to Edit and only 50% is readable. Okay there are a few little gaffs but NOTHING to the extent that he or she is ranting on about, and certainly nothing that detracts from the overall story and how it reads. If someone like Mr Shouty and yes I am going to attribute the previous rant to a male, then why not be constructive and point out the errors. There are some really badly written stories out there but this series is not among them. Eloquentman please keep up the good work. I only came across Modified today 06/07 and am thoroughly enjoying reading through. GJ
Thank you for the kind words. I’m new to any sort of writing, and did this because eventually I felt I had a tale worth sharing. No one is compelled to like it, but I’m always pleased when someone lets me know that they do. You can read up to Chapter 10 at the moment, and I’m writing the follow up and hope to have that submitted in the next few days.
If you have any further feedback, please feel free to share with me. All feedback is welcome, even though I may not agree with some of it.
Great first story! ok yes, some editing would help however a backup and re-read for context is the worst I have seen. Keep going great job!
