Help and guidance required... Sapphic Incest story

[smallncute]

Hi all

My name is Miranda and I have submitted quite a few stories to literotica.

Even having sought editing help, a lot of feed back has been critical

I will admit that I am oblivious (for the most part0 to poor editing if the story grabs my attention. Because of this, and I know what is coming next in my stories I am very bad at editing;especially my own work.

I have also on and off been working on a story where by a mother and daughter become intiamte sexually.

Becasue i have written what I ahve over time I know I have got my tenses and first/second view mixed up.

So, I am looking for help in two ways please.

Firstly to review the story and thoughts whether it is worthy of continuing?

Secondly if appropriate to help remove my writer's block and help me how best finish the story

Any takers?

As it is a while since I have been to these forums and this is my first ever posting (how brave am I?) I will read through the various links to help authers within the stickies.

Thank you for reading this post.

Miranda

Thanks, Miranda

My efforts so far!

Miranda,

I will be happy to assisst you. I try to be objective in my criticism, helpful not shutdown. I work with YOU which is why I recoemmd you add me to yahoo messenger - that way we can chat about an issue I may find.

EXAMPLE: Let's say I am reading your story and I run across something that just does not flow. I am not going to tear it apart. What I will do if explain why I feel it does not flow and offer some suggestions to fix it. At worst some issues are not fixable, when that happens I assist in replacing the problem with something that does.

I guess I am more than an editor really. I do not simply read the story, fix typos and grammar errors. I pay attention to detail, flow and plot. Like you I am terrible at editing my own work. I have a friend who does mine when she has time. But I always give it a final look over. On that final look over I am very critical. See the story I have posted here is NOT a final edit. I completed the final edit last night. I am working on the blurb today.

I don't really have a preference as to what type of stories I work on for authors. I did make a thread called Author's Pleae Read or something like that in the authors hangout. It is a general guideline for submitting to me. I have no real requirements, just the preference that we have some kind of instant message to use so I can work face to face so to speak. Sometimes I provide my phone number if chat is not available to you.

I'd will take a look at it if you want. Sent ya a PM.

Not trying to be an ass or anything, but if you're offering editing services it might be better to show that you can write a single sentence without any errors.

"I'd will" is incorrect. If I was a writer looking for an editor, you would not be my pick.

Although I do appreciate your offer at the same time, as I know that you are devoting time out of your life to help another, which I think is honorable.

All I'm saying is, check your post before submitting, it might help your cause.
