I really want the main character, Katie (12) who is blind to have a really well structured personality. Maybe that doesn’t show here, but I’ve been posting a couple snippets from the story so far, so hopefully I am shaping her into a fun, independent 12 year old =)
Grammar? Is it interesting enough for what it is? Someone on here brought my attention to omniscient third person, which I want to write in, but am confused about where my boundaries go. Help with that?
Any other comments? Thanks in advance!
She inhaled deeply and clambered up the stairs and into her room. Listen to music. Great idea. If only she knew where her iPod was. Katie dropped to the ground on her hands and knees and started searching. If she didn’t find it, at least looking for it would waste some time. Her hand crawled in all different directions, skimming over the floor, under the bed, desk, and dresser. She slithered into the lounge room and checked under all the chairs. Finally, she stood up and dug her hand under the pillows, feeling every crevice and corner, but she was nothing but disappointed. She ran her hands over and under the sheets of her bed, and tops of the desk and dresser, but still no iPod. “Mom?” She hollered. “Can you help me look for my iPod?” Still no response. She must be out food shopping or something.
Well, she could check listening to music off for list of things she can’t do. Katie collapsed onto the cool, wood floor of her bedroom. She lay there in annoyance, arms crossed over her chest. Puck trotted over to her and licked her face. “Hehe, stop Puck!” She cried and hugged her dog. “Puck,” She said, bolting up, “Could you help me find my ipod?” She listened for a response, but only heard her dog’s heavy breathing. “Thought not,” She mumbled and sank back down. The boredom was eating away at her. “Okay,” She said aloud, “I’ll make my own music. Help me sing Puck.” The dog bumped his head into her shoulder as Katie hollered a very out of tune version of Love Story. “WE WERE BOTH YOUNG WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU…” Katie chanted. “I CLOSED MY EYES, AND THE FLASHBACK STARTS I’M STANDING THERE. ON A BALCONY OF SUMMER AIR.”
She sang each verse with the loudest tone she could muster up, feeling free and giggly.
I recommend finding a writing community to work on your writing. https://sites.google.com/site/allusionsanddreams/home/resources-1
1. It should have a blank space between paragraphs to make it easier to read without Tabs.
2. As I review this again, I am uncertain if it has paragraphs. It needs to be edited for grammar.
3. Capital letters are for chat rooms. They are not grammatically correct.
