I am currently writing a new novel, Beyond the Meadows; and I am hoping to one day publish it. I currently have 3 chapters uploaded to my profile and I would love some honest feedback, good, bad, and in-between. Especially areas where I might need to improve upon or correct would be greatly appreciated. :)

=D Thank you Al! Your words have put a smile on my face. I want to try to please everyone, in time I will pretty this story series up, but right now they are coming out as I see them in my mind's eye. I have always written the way that came natural to me, and to be appreciated for what I have created the first time around always means the most to me. Although I do enjoy some constructive criticism from time to time. Thank you for the reply!

Again thank you for your comment, it is greatly appreciated. I can honestly say that the reason I didn't write out the number 12 is because I just learned throughout my academic courses (just about to graduate college) that for any number that exceeds the single digits should be put in numerical form and not written form. But I can see where it would be a bit hard and should be done for story purposes. I will also be sure to add in a more creative flair, hopefully once the complete idea is out of my head (I write about a chapter a day since I started this the other day) I will be able to combine it all and pretty it up with bells and whistles. Right now I am just so happy to be writing again, thanks to some unknown inspiration that came to me on my own family outing, that I haven't stopped to make things pretty. =D

Thank you for your comment! Yes, I do find it hard to be conversational at times when it comes to stories, I think that is why most of mine don't really have much dialogue between characters and things. I do appreciate the helpful pointers, I will be sure to keep those in mind as future stories or chapters come to me. =D

Thank you for the comment. To be honest, this came to me as a dream Sunday night after my family and I did get back from a huge family get together and for some reason it was the inspiration I needed to write something. I am sure once I get the full thoughts out, in piecy chapters, I will go back over it all and fine tune it. The best part about posting it as it comes to me, is that I get the helpful comments like yours. Thank you! =D

A featured chapter? Whoa, I had never thought I'd see my work up on the main page. I'm flattered. *blush*

While I prefer to write fiction, I still find myself injecting a lot of reality into my stories. I guess I prefer the realism over total fantasy, and the more personal experience I have in something the more passionate my writing becomes. *blushes* Yes this one was written one morning not long after a night of passion as was described, and to be totally honest here, the passion is that intense every night as that is just how my husband and I are. We both are equally passionate and equally lustful and it makes for an electrifying encounter every time. But don't get me wrong we have our down moments too, but with us trying for a baby, we are even more intense. I will be sure to pass on your kind words to him when I see him after work tonight. =D

Interesting chapter and twist that you have placed upon the first one. One small suggestion though, break up the large paragraph into smaller ones, makes it easier to read. =D

Interesting twist that you have going on here. I must say that I am impressed with the way you continued into the next chapter. It was one that I had not expected. Well done!

Thank you for the kind words, I will be sure to check out the next chapter that you have written. =D
