Hi, I'm slowly writing a book/story and wondered if I could post small bits as I write them, like instalments and see what you guys think?

Nerdy, are these still a rough drafts? If not, you have a few punctuation errors here and here. I am not a published author but I have recently edited my first book and it's a real pain if you haven't been meticulous whilst writing the first draft. To save yourself the bother that I had to go through, please have a look at these links below. I certainly needed a refresher after having spent most of my adult life in a profession completely unrelated to writing.

You can find alternative words for 'kind' by looking for synonyms here:

www.thesaurus.com

You have a few words that start with capital letters even though they are in the middle of a sentence (e.g luminous in the first sentence); it may be worth tidying these up?

Hope this helps and good luck!

Ha ha, here and there, I meant Grin

Thank you! Yeah Grammar isn't my strong point, and don't laugh, but the capital letter thing is an OCD thing :/
Haha
