That initial chapter will be a very important component of the story. I'd never think to just add a gratuitous scene for shock's sake.
Well, maybe sex, but I'm obsessed over sex. 😊
I saw you had a thorough review from an actual editor, so I have nothing really useful to add.
Incorrect! I want as much input from the 'common man' -- not to imply you are common -- as I get from professionals.
I was drawn in and would certainly continue to read the story.
Wonderful! Then my work has hit home.
I don’t think Mark couldn’t know that many languages. I base this on nothing actual…
That's why he's so special. That's why he leads this team.
Among his languages are several dead ones: Sumerian, Sanskrit, and of course Latin (of which, some would argue isn't really dead.)
He's proficient in nearly every dialect of Chinese. The guy is the single best linguist on the planet.
I know some Sanskrit from yoga, and took Latin in college.
I’m fluent in English and 90’s Ebonics.
I expect to be in novel#2.
