Okay, I couldn't stand it. My curiosity got the better of me. After her odd replies, I wanted to know what she was going to say, so I told her she could "clean up" what I sent her, which was the first 3 chapters.
At 3:27 p.m. today I gave her the go-ahead. At 4:01 today this is the response that I got:
"you need to own 2 books to help you. tend to use passive voice instead of active (stronger) and that first sentence has too many words by 50%. mouthful tmi. I tried to edit a bit but the books will help you more: Self-Editing For Fiction Writers by Renni Browne and Dave King and Stein On Writing by Sol Stein. Start with the dancing man then let the reader know that A watches from the house she moved into from Chicago. You can't use "as" to denote two actions that happen at once -- impossible to do but also weakens the impact of the writing by showing two actions happening at once. See page 192 in Self-Editing. Look up Passive Voice. Best of luck. Fo not send this draft to anyone until you edit the novel well."
This is her exact response. I have not edited it AT ALL, and that is the entirety of the message. I mean, it is amost completely incoherent. As hilarious as this is, I just want to make everyone aware that unless you're just idly curious, don't waste your time.
