Just finished the gallery visit you requested. I read FF8 The Three Musketeers & Relic of the Demon Soul - prolouge & chapter 1.

I gave you a critiique on The Three Musketeers and I have to say, of the three it was my favorite.

The problem I noticed in the second pieces I read was an overwhelming sense of word use and spelling mistakes that completely bogged the piece down.

Here is one thing I noticed you did alot of in the other two pieces, “High outter walls provided the castle with protection from outside threats. Deep in the castle...” You don’t have to say the word “castle” so close together, at the beginning of the second sentence you could simply say, “Deep within it’s walls...” then go on with the sentence. You overstate or restate things that are understood quite a bit, when it isn’t necessary. Don’t beat your readers over the head with, “this is who or what I am talking about”. As long as you address the “who and what” within relative proximity of each other (in the same paragraph), it isn’t necessary to restate it over and over again.

There is alot of sentence structure that could use some work. Instead of breaking up your ideas, keep them flowing, by rearranging words or finding different ways to deliver them, such as here: “The dance of the fire was mesmerizing, both soldier’s gazes became fixated on this eerie circle.” You have already established it’s a circle, here is one suggestion on how to re-word the sentence. “The eerie dance of the fire was mesmerizing, causing the soldiers’ gaze to fixate upon it.” You get all the elements in there that you want, yet improve the flow emmensely. I am sure that if you simply took the time to play with alot of the structure and flow of the pieces in this way, you could come up with something all your own that would work well.

You have a fantastic imagination and a good development of a story. You simply need to work on your word use, structure and remember to use a program with spell check - something so simple as spelling errors can go a long way in bogging down an otherwise ex cellant piece of writing.
