editing The Bonding

well been working all afternoon and hours later have managed to do 59 pages.
I'm Happy with that.
Its slow going because I have to read everyword and check the tenses, grammer, spellings missed words etc.
I admit there are quite a lot of changes and its a slow business.
but hopefully by next weekend it will be ready to go up, if I can get enough time to do it!

This review is from: The Bonding (The Bonding series) (Kindle Edition)

I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the characters, the plot was exciting and unexpected and I was hooked by all the magic and love from the very first page. It is an intriguing idea - the bonding of 2 perfect people for all eternity, to make an amazingly powerful pair - but a very daunting one for a young and confused teenager like Lily to face.

In this book we follow the early lives of Lily and Carne; their perfect marriage, the mesmerising bonding, and the very harsh reality of it all. There were many extreme twists and turns in the plot which caught me off guard completely and left me gob-smacked; resulting in a very exciting and enjoyable read. Also, I felt a great connection with the characters and now love them to bits.

As much as I loved this story, I was fairly annoyed at the vast amount of typos and spellings & punctuation mistakes. Most of the time they were just small mistakes: 'off' instead of 'of', missing speech comas, etc. but they were so many on almost every page and often left me confused and having to re-read the page so I could understand it properly.

Judging on purely the story, I'd say this book was faultless. It was exciting and kept me interested; it was unique and interesting and the characters were simply amazing. However, this book wasn't faultless as it had so many typos and for me that kind-of ruined the whole effect in places.

Nevertheless, this is an inspiring, mind-blowing read full of passion, love, hatred and magic and I would recommend it to all.

okay...

Thats it...

am dropping Hope, dropping Endless for the moment and...


Looking at The Bonding, going to try sorting out grammer / spellings etc.

wish me luck as I dive in lol

Halloween

Just wrote about Hope and the Halloween dance, so romantic !!! Love writing romance and guys getting together

first kiss

I just wrote the first kiss...awww
This book is so sweet, full of miss read signals, and teenage dreams.

Hope is such fun to write and I'm loving her as a character.
Need to buckle down though, just coming up to half term and has taken over 50 pages, if i keep this up, the book will be a monster...some serious cutting maybe needed at the end !
