Do these starting paragraphs make you want to keep reading? Sorry, but I can't really find the guidelines for a 'critique request.' My impression was that if something was read, and people said their opinion of it, that's criticizing... Pretty much, those 1100 words should get the reader into the story, hopefully with line getting him to the next. |

Does this beginning hook the reader? That's the problem; I only write, I don't analyze it that way... I understand that as I get used to it, I won't have to and that you ask this only because up until now, I don't seem to have that objective... To clear things up, I'll post another question, about the same thing in the same story; but I'll give myself more time first, until I find a beginning that'd attract me even if I didn't know the story ahead. Wow! I really blubbered! |

Does this beginning hook the reader? I guess that settles it... I've been reading about writing novels, reading novels, trying to get it right... While my science is solid and the plot is as unique as my mind tells me, it just needs more time. Looks like the teenager Hugo is out this time. -- I won't do any more edits; but if anyone have anything to add, I'll continue discussion in comments... |

Does this beginning hook the reader? It only says that that's it for now, ie. everything there is to know about the characters will be dealt with in small doses as the story progresses until this point, around the end of act 2. That's not to say the first 2 acts have no story, they have the main plot that gets to this point and... it's complicated... Could you give more examples of turns of phrases you didn't like in the narrative? Anyway, have you looked at the body text again? Also see my third comment on the body text; see if you can help. |

Does this beginning hook the reader? I still have the first version I'd sent; I could upload it again and post the updated versions from hereon in a separate answer (just one answer updated each time as per suggestions). Could this work? Or does editing answers bump the question too? I think these questions (about editing, that is) should have been covered in the FAQ somehow... |
