I’ve been writing for a while, and while not a “professional writer” in the technical sense, I consider myself “a professional who writes.” Still, this post regards a project that I hope will see me become both.
I’ve provided a link to a synopsis and my story, Project Boomerang. The synopsis is there for you to determine if more of the story is worth your time. Read as little or as much as you like.
The “Prologue: Book of the Void” is optional, but still, feedback on it is welcome. This story is arranged in a manner that I know will provide additional obstacles. For instance, Star, who’s mentioned in the synopsis, doesn’t appear until Chapter 2. An argument could be made for Chapter 1 becoming the prologue, which would move Star to Chapter 1, but I’m doing something deliberate with the “Book of the Void” content. Essentially, it will comprise four chapters, each proceeding narrative arcs.
What I’d like from you, dear reader, is for you to share your thoughts. Is this story written in a way that interests you? Do you feel compelled to read more? I realize that I’m doing some unconventional things, so I’m not so much concerned about things like sentence construction. I’d like to hear about the imagery. The settings. The suspense. The intrigue. Does anything surprise you? Do you wish something happened in a different way? Still, I invite you to share anything that you wish.
Thank you, sincerely,
JT
