Can anyone confirm if the links work?

For me personally all I want to write is the book i've started, and to get feedback/advice/motivation. And obviously i'm willing to do the same for others to get that.

I Absolutely would. My main issue is motivation (not just in writing!) and I've had trouble getting feedback from people I don't know in real life. So yeah sign me up. Absolutely. I'll upload my writing in PDF and .DOC. The Dark of Night - Paperback size.pdf The Dark of Night - Paperback size.docx

For someone who hasn't written anything before that is a massive compliment (Although I really couldn't get into Malazan haha) Thank you!

The attached is a PDF, i'm not sure if that's cool. If not let me know because i'm desperate for feedback, If I have to record it like a bloody audiobook I will at this point haha. The Dark of Night - Paperback size.pdf

A poor duelist compared to someone that's 300 years old, Best duelist in the world compared to 20-50 year olds. Even a bad 300 year old swordsman would beat a good 20 year old, Having literally centuries to practice makes a massive difference, You've seen every possible move 1000 times by this point.

Well they're mutants so I imagine nothing... Unpleasant looking lot in general.

Edited a tiny bit, any new feedback since I bumped it from 5 to 30-odd pages? having trouble getting people to read it that I don't know.

I'm shamelessly bumping since i'm finding it difficult to continue ( Haven't touched it in a while)

Thank you Rick Astley, I knew you wouldn't give me up!

DELETED.

Hi Guys, it's been a LONG time but I have an update. Please see the attached. There may be story elements that contradict, I've yet to correct some errors, focusing on getting the story going a bit. Please let me know what you think Also I've just changed the formatting to fit with what i've been told is standard manuscript formatting, how is it for you guys? Thanks again. Daniel. EDIT - Changed attached to match updated product. + added PDF The Dark of Night - Paperback size.docx The Dark of Night - Paperback size.pdf

Anyone else have anything to add? I'm curious to see who else enjoyed it as much as I did!

Hi Tyson! Thank you! I'll keep working at it and try to fix some of those points As for the hook one Does that hook need to come in the first chapter? It'll probably be end of chapter 2 before things start to get going! Thanks, Daniel

Hi Guys, I've not had a chance to write as much as i'd like, but i've re-written a fair chunk of what I started with and thought i'd give it to you fine people for a look! Thank you all again for the fantastic words. I'm really hoping I can turn this into something. Anyway, it's attached and I've marked where i've gotten to. Thank you. Daniel The Dark of Night.docx

I love this. Interesting plot and good banter between characters. I'm super interested in the Library, hope to see more!!

Thank you guys! You will be seeing more! I hope to update my progress as i'm writing, I should have an updated draft of the re-write of what i've done so far. Thank you all SO much. I've had this story revolving around my head for a few years now (i'm 24) and my good friend influenced me to start writing it down. You guys however gave me the confidence to actually stick with it and if I ever finish i'll be eternally grateful haha Hope to update tonight! Daniel.

Sorry to double post but I don't know any pro writers so I thought i'd ask here. I currently intend on developing/tidying up this small section to the highest standard I can before moving on with the story in any way. Is this advisable? or do you think i'd have a better time writing more than going back and doing re-writes and things on a larger scale? Again Thank you so much for the words, i'm irrationally happy with you three internet strangers today!! Daniel.

It's in Italics because.... It's not now Thank you guys, That was great to hear and i'm going to continue working on the concept!

Hi Guys, Yesterday, for the first time ever, I attempted to write a beginning of a story that's been rolling around my head for a good long while. A friend of mine had written 1000 words and asked me to read it so I thought i'd repay the favour. It took me around 30-40 minutes, and I haven't touched it since I finished it. Writing is something that i've wanted to do for a few years now but have never actually attempted at all until now. I guess the reason i'm posting this is that i'm worried that it's just a complete waste of time so I thought i'd ask a community I know isn't completely brutal to have a quick look and maybe someone could tell me if it's worth me expanding on the idea. Anyway, Thank you to anyone that reads. (EDIT - full 1st Draft Chapter 1) EDIT 2 - Small tiny change EDIT 3 - More small changes + added PDF version.
