You’re welcome! I sure hope it helps!
Yeah, I get that! I think this is probably the first time I’ve ever offered advice on a thread. 😂 Normally I don’t have much to say either, but I think it’ll come more as you begin to get more experience with writing!
Nice to meet you by the way! How long have you been on S.E?

What genre is this one? I can't remember. O.o -
Cool!
Haha YES EXACTLY I’m literally terrified to even open up the document right now!! UGHHHHH I need to soon but I’m just overwhelmed with everything I need to change.
It’s like…. speculative fiction, I guess? It takes place in the real world, but there’s elements in it that couldn’t actually happen, if that makes sense?

Hey! I love reading peoples stories, but I don’t have tons of faith (or experience XP) in my beta reading. So, I would love to read it and see what I can do, but I’m not super great at it haha.😝
