Anyone feel like ripping this to shreds? 1 Year, 2 Months ago  
Greetings all,

I have posted samples of my work online. I would greatly appreciate any feedback you are willing to give. Read it. Rate it. Rip it to shreds.

Don’t be concerned about hurting my feelings. Love it or hate it. It’s all the same to me. I welcome all feedback. Be it good, bad, or ugly.

One small note: This detective story is a parody. It’s cheesy, cliché, and over the top. It is intended to be. With that caveat in mind read and laugh.

This is my current project:

Please, feel free to read and comment on either or both. Thank you.

Best wishes,

-DK

Wow. I read your current project (the second _link_) and it's amazing. I give it four stars, and would have given it five, except for one small thing. Your writing is fabulous, but in your de_script_ions, you tend to use a lot of _meta_phors. While there's nothing wrong with _meta_phors (I love using them in my own writing, and they add to the de_script_ion a lot) you have to be careful not to use too many. Another thing--you often grouped adjectives in groups of three--e.g. "dark, hushed, and mysterious." (Not sure if that was your actual wording, it's just an example.) Other than that, the book was wonderful--there were a few instances where you had a missing comma or repeated a word or phrase, but those are minor issues that can be resolved in editing. If you tweak your de_script_ive writing a little, you'll have a fabulous book.
By "tweak" I don't mean that you should remove any de_script_ion, just be careful with your phrasing. You have perfect amounts of detail. I love it.
Overall, a fabulous book!
