Just some of the things I've commented on (and there are quite a few things that I didn't because we're not supposed to focus on surface things):
- Mixing up "are" and "our"
- Mixing up "they're" and "there" and "their"
- Switching between past and present tense in the same sentence
- Capitalizing words that should not be capitalized (like "parties")
- Mixing up "too" and "to"
- Misusing words
- Using "they" when it's supposed to be "the"
- Run-on sentences
Haha, well I'm close to 80 full requests and even more partials. I guess sometimes being a nervous reck does work. I have another agent who just emailed me back this afternoon who asked me to do a few specific revisions and resend my full to her again. So I guess I'm putting my WIP off to the side for a few weeks at the very least. I just can't seem to work on two separate manuscripts at once!
You guys, I am so excited to go away to uni in NY I can't even say. I wanna skip grade 10.
Also, I met my soul sister. Writes, loves HP, wants to go to the same uni as me. She promised to check this place out when she was done homework, so if the internet at home isn't back up when I get there, be nice guys XD
And now see that it will be nearly impossible to have 16 hours of school, 11 hours at work, two clubs, and find time to write. So I'm going to wait and see how my first job fits into everything before I join anything.
It's a lot of fun when you know most of the people who are doing it. I have a good friend from Taiwan and she went with us one night and was like 'We aren't doing this...privately!?' lol
