For The Indefinition of Acton Ramirez, Kevin says:
I guess I
would appreciate line edits/margin comments but I also wouldn't want
people to get too bogged down with them.
What is of
most concern to me are the following:
1) Pacing
and transitions, especially throughout the middle chapters (3-6).
2) Ideas
and themes - how are they working, or not? Am I laying it on
too thick
in places? Any recurring ideas/themes just completely
unclear/frustrating?
3) The
overall consistency of tone (or lack thereof) throughout - both
chapter to
chapter and especially with regard to the final chapter.
Does the
last chapter resonate tonally with the rest of the novel? Is
it
functioning as a final chapter?
4)
Transitions again, especially between paragraphs and chapters.
5)
Descriptions of actions vs. descriptions of setting - is more or
less
needed in either category?
6)
Interiority/intimacy of the narrator in some places vs. what might
be
described as a detached tone in others. Is this noticeable? Is it a
problem?
7) General
weaknesses - major or minor
8) Any other concerns
