| Re: First Time Writer, Opening Chapter excerpt. coolios. Thanks all. Please, be harsh in critiquing. Granted, it is not the only way I'll learn, but it is a powerful method. I think all in all there is only so much someone can critique until the author says "that's enough" because even after publication, no book has a 100% following. Someone, somewhere is going to hate it.
@chrispenycate: The 'latter' argument was referring to the 'someone, or something' part. The latter there was the 'something', implying that it wasn't a human that was chasing the man.
I gave the man a name because when I went through a previous draft of him just being 'a man', it didn't work and it got confusing as to what 'he' was referring to whom, and I put a name in there to simplify things. This does not mean the Hunter knows this person. In fact, to him, the man is just another guy, who happens to be in a bad situation. The idea is that the Hunter goes on nightly patrols around the city, and after scouting around for a bit, he got scent, so to speak, of those monsters. It was just an unfortunate coincedence that the man was being chased.
Again, thanks all for the critique and keep it up, this is all very interesting to learn, and while yes I would like to get this published eventually, it is still good to learn different things. |
