I’m taking a historical fiction course which (much to my surprise), requires a bit of writing.
Now, I have a five-page historical sketch which will be expanded to a 15-page story over the next few weeks. Since my writing abilities don’t really extend towards the realm of fiction, I’d appreciate if any of you Dopers would be willing to offer a bit of criticism.
I’d also appreciate advice on how to expand the story, but that’s secondary. I’m not asking for people to do my work for me.
I don’t want to post it online, so if anyone would be willing to read and critique, leave your email or send me a message at johnny_diplomat@yahoo.com.
Thanks in advance.
