As for the writing style, it’s fine but idk about the dialog at the start. It’s a style choice.

It can work but I’d either make it less or make it more interesting/ informative. After a while I start to not care about what they’re saying because I want more context about who is saying it and why. It would be one thing if it was like someone confessing their dramatic sins in church with no other context, but this is just pretty normal dialog

I won't say there's anything in writing you can't do, because someone will be able to make it work. Starting with floating heads is bold though. I get that you want to have a mystery here, but this is too much waffling and not enough of a hook. My guess based on the first page is something sexual.

There are many grammar and spelling issues.

There's some use of different sentence lengths/pacing, but not much. Mix it up more!

"Contrasting with the snow..." ?
How about "The boy's blood pooled beneath the cart, red droplets melting the white snow."

This is taking place in a psuedo-feudal society that's highly religious, one of the issues i've had is wanting to make it seem distinct from our modern context while also making it interesting to the reader.

I don't like how in the first 4+ lines I don't know whose talking. First line is fine, I guess. It could be memorable. But what are you doing beyond that? There's no punctuation at the end of the second sentence or the ones beyond that.

You're writing like this
You should be writing like this.
"Better yet," Lucas said, "you should be doing this as well."

Please punctuate and let the reader know whose talking early on, let alone letting us know who even is talking and what they're about. Opening on dialogue isn't bad but when it's messy like this I can't even look further into it.

>> No.23105107

I think there are a lot of positives to take away from this draft, but with that said, it reads like a first draft and needs extensive editing and revision.

For example, the opening dialogue (to me reminded me of the opening to Gaddis’ JR with no attributions) is going to be troublesome for modern readers, and most agents will reject it immediately unless you’re a published author already. Even still, they’d probably tell you not to do it. I read you wanted to give the feel of your eyes adjusting to the light, which is a fine idea, but I would integrate some exposition there, even if it’s brief. It was a little difficult keeping track of the different characters. Maybe have one character driving the dialogue with the others chiming in once in a while instead.

Language wise, I’d cut back on the extensive use of adjectives. Every description here has four to five adjectives (chapter 2). Yet, despite that, sometimes you have a good image of something but don’t explore it. The second chapter starts with the smell of a corpse, but it’s dropped after the first two sentences. I would make it the complication in this scene, like she’s constantly searching for the odor, as it will help drive the chapter through the duller parts, and work as foreshadowing for the violence later.

With all that said, I think there is good conflict and pacing throughout. There is definitely a strong tone: seedy Georgia bar life (post apocalyptic?).

I don’t think this sounded like Infinite Jest. I would suggest reading Crimes in Southern Indiana by Frank Bill.

>> No.23105115

>>23105094
Why are there multiple lines about the mystery food/drink? Why doesn't your character know whether or not marriage is allowed in his society?

It's a very careful game to hide exposition in a story. It helps to directly relate it to your character. "You have to give up sex with Anna" "Not if I take her as a wife" "[description of religious barrier]"

Tangentially, have you read A Canticle for Leibowitz? Great book about a monastery set in the future.

Could this be helped by maybe bleading in the traditional contextual aspects of dialogue slowly?
I'd like to keep some of the stark response to response quotations at the begining but with so many people saying its hard to to keep track of whose who i'm open to maybe giving a few nouns a bit earlier on if that helps; sparingly if i can.\

Yeah, withotu giving away to much the whole book is technically post apocalyptic.

>Why are there multiple lines about the mystery food/drink?
Alot of the background for the story I have to explain through natural dialogue as i never intend (so far as i can) to give a "concerning hobbits" ham fisted artificial explanation of the Kingdom in its totality. Alchohol is legal in this society but the percentage allowed for general consumption is strictly regulated (a fact which has its own reasons due to the complex amalgam nature of the Christianity practiced in the Kingdom)
>Why doesn't your character know whether or not marriage is allowed in his society?
Marriage is allowed in the society as well as in the priesthood; marriage to a preist just isn't a necessairily atractive propsect to a young woman. While it speaks to a certian level of economic security and even political power it also means a life of communal living and a vow of "poverty." A life of prayer without lands or much privacy.

Relax, anon, it's going to be absolutely dreamy. There is less "action" in this writing and more emotion. It is a finely woven tapestry, a landscape of characters and their troubles in 13 chapters. Plus an epilogue. It might dip under 30k as I have a little polishing to do still. Then just need a cover, format the epub, and I have yet to ever design a hardcover book for printing, but I'm just going to use a printing company in Canada this time and pay like $10 a book for a nice hardcover. Shouldn't be too difficult. If you're nice to me, maybe I'll send you a freebie. :)

Yes, definitely. I think that would help mirror your idea of light imagery you mentioned before about wanting the reader to feel like their eyes are slowly adjusting. I would even consider keeping that context short. Have you’ve ever read “fletch” the novel? He does this very well.

> Both chapters take place on the same night of the same year in different places.

I think that’s a very interesting idea because you don’t expect that upon reading, so as far as a twist goes, I think that would work, especially if you are planning on a back and forth between these two sets of characters.

Well in a funny actually in a way she's someone i've known for a long time.
When I was younger i was always annoyed at how all the "strong female characters" never actually seemed all that strong to me. They were prepetually emotionally vulnerable, petty, easily hurt and always (either explicitly or implicitly) looking for some emotional vindication from others. Even when they were """"independent"""" and superficially ""empowered"" they were never REALLY above it all in any meaningful sense. They always CARED what other people THOUGHT of them, always wanted approval, or respect or some sort of vindication from men/society ect and this to me when I was young was NEVER compelling. It was like you had male heros and then you had female """heros""" and the female heros (or villians for that matter) were always deeply dependent on/moved by others to frankly cartoonish fucking degrees, making their stories basically non-functional, to the point that any single word of disrespect to any of them would illicit some violent emotional response from them.
Cas first and foremost came to me as the idea of what I (as a teenager) would se as an actual strong female character.
And as I grew older and matured i realized that that character based of what I considered "strength" at that age had some obvious character flaws but she was still very interesting to me in the same I think a guy's first real love is always interesting to him and so i've wanted to tell her story for a while and i finally worked out the world and the characters to give that depth and keep it from being just HER story (which I now think wouldn't be sufficient on its own now)
Thats why i want to write this I guess.
I want to get out these ideas i've had for half a decade now.

Yeah basically thats the plan.
They do converge ultimately but the concept of a post-apocalyptic medevil society is one of the things that drove me to write this along with the character studies. While I dont know if its completely novel it seems like a relatively untroden path
(And while i havent read the Stand and dont intend to until after my book is done from what I heard king paints a far more black and white tolkien picture then i'm interested in. I want a bit more nuance then that sort of fantasy)

No woman I ever dated was really Cas but there were women I dated who I thought were like Cas; even though in the final analyisis, even if they had lived up to the near impossible ideal it wouldn't have been a good thing.
Cas is not an easy person to live with and she is, to say the least, morally complex..

The opening with two solid pages of tagless dialogue left me feeling a bit lost. If you really want to open that way, I suggest you read some well-written dialogue-heavy stories and try to emulate what the author is up to. (I like "Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes" for this purpose).

The fact that you're actually writing something puts you ahead of 99.9% of people on here, including me unfortunately.

So there's Dr. Fuck, duckin' down the alley to drop a deuce against a wall, far enough away so the stench don't mess with Mumbles' focus. Dude's been backed up for days, thanks to his diet of meth and more meth. Before he heads out, he loads Mumbles up with a hefty hit of speed, aiming to turbocharge him like a haste spell, some magic in a game from another lifetime, before the drugs turned his existence into this epic, twisted adventure with no seatbelt and a gas pedal stuck to the god-damned floor.

By the time Dr. Fuck makes his grand return, post-relief, he finds Mumbles has pulled off a damn miracle. The Frankenbike's standing there, gleaming in the dim light of the alley, looking more ready for a mad scientist's lab than the streets of Vancouver. Mumbles, in his silent genius, has rigged up a white garbage bag on a telephone pole, scrawled with ghetto fabulous instructions and a sketch of the weed-whacker electric motor-engine boost setup. It's all there, including a big-ass warning about not pushing the little red boost button for more than ten seconds unless they want to turn the bike into a fireball.

Dr. Fuck, ever the daredevil, waves off the caution like it's nothing, all swagger and bravado. But Mumbles, he's in a panic, mumbling his head off, trying to drill into Dr. Fuck's thick skull that he's flirting with disaster this time. It's a rare moment; Mumbles ain't just worried about the bike, he's scared shitless of being left alone in this screwed-up world without his partner in crime.

Feeling the weight of Mumbles' worry, Dr. Fuck pulls him in for a rough, brotherly hug. It's a messed-up kind of tender, right up until Mumbles' sticky fingers make a play for the meth stash in the good doc's back pocket. Dr. Fuck catches him red-handed, slaps his hand away, but it's all in the family. He grabs the Frankenbike, tests it with a quick bounce, and with the clock ticking down to race time, he hits another bump of meth, promising victory and demanding Mumbles be right there with him, as his wingman, his crew chief, in this batshit crazy quest for glory.

"Imma win this motherfucker," he says, the meth sharpening his determination to a razor's edge.

"And you, you're gonna be right there when we take it, Mumbles. Ain't no ride if you ain't ridin' with me." With that, Dr. Fuck kicks the bike to life, the alley echoing with the sound of a friendship too wild to be tamed, a bond forged in the fires of chaos and meth smoke.

I have a soft spot for anachronistic religious societies. I recommended A Canticle for Leibowitz earlier. Anathem is another book about a monastery in a post apocalyptic society, but you have to love the setting to endure that book.

Your writing reads to me like you're very new. Keep working on it and I look forward to adding it to my little list of post apocalyptic religious books.

Tell, don't show, the fucking banter back and forth should be a few lines long, enough to set the tone, but extended dialogue is just annoying. Like skip to the important statements and then just describe how it makes your current_viewpoint feel. I remember reading some mainstream published schlock a few years back that had a couple pages of two characters talking and it was all forgettable dialogue, like it was there just to fill pages and make a word count.

Dude you do realize that the continued repetition of a statement renders it to be percieved as automated correct?
If your goal is to get a person to kill themselves your best bet is to convince them that is a thing worth doing.
Reducing yourself to a mindless machine reiterating the same statement into the void an automated bus stop recording just gets people to se you less then human, it gets people to percieve you as your opinion having LESS value.
Its the same way people feel when they a comercial for a politician they've seen 100 times before or a fucking gramerly add on youtube.
Everytime you reiterate it makes people want to conform to your dictate LESS.
