So… This is the first time that I write a story completely in English. I usually write in my native language, Swedish. I need some help on the grammar and spelling, hopefully it's not too awful. And critique on the plot and writing would be great too! Reply to this, and I'll post the story! I only have like, not even one chapter yet, so it shouldn't take that long. I really hope that someone wants to help me!

Great, thanks! I'll post the story as soon as I can!

Okay so before you start… I just gotta say that this is just a writing exercise for me, so I haven't really put a lot of thought into the plot and the story. It might be a bit cliché. But well, I hope you like it anyways! Also, except for the grammar and spelling it would be great if you could check if I have missused any words somehow. Thanks!

Here it is:

So I prefer editing in google docs so you can see what I did and can chose what you want to change and what you don't agree with. So here's a link to my edits :) hope that's okay!

In general I thought it was a cute idea, maybe a bit cliche but that happens. Your narrator's voice was pretty strong, which I liked. The rest of my comments are in the link. Hope this was helpful!

Hey, thanks a lot! Although… I can't see any comments or changes in the document? Are there supposed to be any?

@cue-nervous-humming

It says the comments arent visible to others because of some sort of wifi problem here. I don't know if i can fix it by tonight, i hope its okay if i get back to you tomorrow…

Question: I just added some more to the story. Are those changes visible to you in the original document? not saying that you have to read them if you don't want to though it's only like a paragraph so far

Deleted user

Hi. Not to stress ya, but did you manage to fix it?

@cue-nervous-humming

I tried again and failed so now i just made the changes with a different color witbout using the fancy editing function… Sorry I only got to it now. I've only done as much as you first sent, i know you've added some since then and i'll do that in the next few days (have an exam on monday so i'm using tomorrow to study)

Hey, thanks! Idk what happened to the document though it looks a bit weird but at least I saw the changes. Thanks for the feedback!
