The last half of the chapter was better than the first. You write lust very well. Now weāre seeing the good writer. But youāre not perfect. You need to have someone edit your stuff before you present it. It would help with the repetition issues and the typos are often distracting.
Fiercefully- I donāt think thatās a wordā¦
āWriting pornographic novels while cockingā haha, that typo was kind of amusing, though
āshe was definitely female. Anyone who could produce such a specimen to torment the earthly females was bound to be a female herselfā this is a perfect example of why your use of the word female and male are annoying. How many times does the word female appear in the sentence. 3 times too many. You need a thesaurus and an editor. Nick also called Amy woman at least 5 times.
āThe most obnoxious and annoying male she had ever had the misfortune of meetingā there it is again
ābrother-substituteā Heās her brotherās best friend; heās annoying; heās arrogant. We get it.
āI have prepared some sandwiches as well so help yourself to as many as you would like.ā This is too proper for dialogue. Nick doesnāt talk like this. Heās also more nonchalant than polite .i.e. āI made some sandwiches to, so if you want someā¦ yāknowā¦.ā
Also, you should know that you should NEVER pour water on a stove fire. It doesnāt put it out. In fact it usually makes it worse. Trust me on this oneā¦. However, the water thing could turn out as a useful plot tool. When Amy throws the water on the open heat source and the flumes only plume upwards, thatās when Nick slams through the door, deftly removes the pot/pan from the stove and covers it with a lit (which is what youāre supposed to do.) or he can have a fire extinguisher. Either way, heās a cop whoās bound to know more about fire safety than she and right at that moment, heās in cop mode-which is endearing and sexy.
