Here is a classic example of before and after.
The "after" is a result of both me and my editor understanding the lack of depth in this scene and recognizing the distancing.
Which version do you like more?
Snippet time!
They say first paragraph is so very important. It either draws the reader in, or it doesn't, but the latter might make them decide to drop the book.
So, are you intrigued?

Okay, took me a week to realize I haven't posted anything here. Guess it can take a while to get used to the idea of a new platform existing and even longer to actually start using it.
You're spot on! I was lucky enough to meet some awesome people who already published an anthology of short stories, and the experience of writing with them for book 2 was incredible! I'm already looking forward to the third book!
My short story 'Alinda' is now available for free through Story Origin. you can check it out here tinyurl.com/38z9c8pb
