I stumbled upon your website while trying to find from where I copied a NaNo WriMo pep talk and I started staring at google results asking myself: "uhn, did I published it somewhere and just can't remember? (I usually sign just as Aline Martins and I'm a writer too). No, it's not possible, I only keep blogs, not sites" lol Good luck with your story^^ It’s really good!

LOL) Sweetie, right now extra time is almost all I have in some people's eyes hahaha. If you want to send some through, go right ahead. If you want to wait until NaNoWriMo is over so you can do some editing before I see it, do that too. It's your story, and I'll be happy to see it when you feel like sharing :) Hehehe, that’s a good attitude towards it :) I’ve met people who get very upset over stuff like this *grimace*

And, of course, as NaNo asks us, I have not edited anything (at all) yet > < But, as soon as you have some extra time, let me know, and I'll send what I already have here. thanks dearest friend! **HUGS** LOL, thanks Lore, you are great! and be sure, I’ll never be offended with edition, for several reasons.

It's enjoyable work :) And your writing is very good :) And to be honest, from this bit here, I don't think it will be as bad as you think/are hinting :p I notice that you have a couple words here and there, where I think you meant other words - take your first sentence for example. You have "When she got the key, she looked around, and the only thing she thought about was picking inside the room once more" and I think you meant "peeking" not "picking"? Because to me "picking" would mean more that she needed to pick the lock to get the door open, and you've stated she has the key, so picking the lock isn't necessary. And the other sentence I noticed with this would be “'Granny?' Jenny murmured, taking in shallow grasps of the cold air." Where you have "grasps" and I think you meant "gasps". Oh look, I'm in editor overdrive mode already hahaha, oops :) But seriously, rest easy if you're worried I'll have trouble - with a lot of the people I've interacted with that have English as a (very fluent) second language, it's mainly just odd little things like a putting a very similar looking word in the sentence instead of the word they wanted, or it's just a rather literal translation that ends up being very formal sounding, or slightly out of the "normal" order. And now I'm rambling and possibly over explaining and going waaay off course, so I'll end this comment now. Keep up the great work! *HUGS* LOL, bring it on!
