The LIFE of Jack - has been re written but only the first group of 'chapters' is on show but would like to hear any comment, thanks

I am back ready to form a 'new corrected story' to see if the original moaners about my work can either enjoy or send back those further bad worst days without giving corrections or have not the goodness to help. The new book will be up shortly.

Arthur, I echo the sentiment from HJ and edensashes. You know you have friends here, and elsewhere. :)

Arthur old friend I see you have an account on Scribophile I've just added you to my Favourites, Catch you Later

Hey Arthur, I feel like I need to apologize for one of my friends who apparently hurt you. I want you to know something. I consider myself a good writer and I know good writing when I see it. You need to bring your book back. I honestly believe that you have promise as a writer. If I did not I would have never agreed to help you with it. Lots of people have asked for my help and most of the time I say that I do not have the time. But for you I was making time. That is because you are one of the few who have potential. I don't pull punches and I will let you know when I see something that needs to be changed. You might not be ready for publication right away but you are on the right track as a writer.
However you will have to be ready for the opinions of others. That is just a part of it. They can be critical, judgemental and in some cases just downright mean and you will not be able to avoid them as a writer because some will love you and some will hate you. Just put the story back up and let's get back to work on it.

I've only read your book The Life of Jack but I like it. Authenticity is key. I like a story that feels real. Jack feels real to me. I'm certainly not an expert writer but I do consider myself wellread and your story is good. It needs to be polished (USEFUL feedback from beta readers and an editor's expert advice) but so does 99% of the writing on this site. There are sites like Hemingwayapp.com that help with grammar and proper sentence structure. But they don't help with the story but I don't think you need help there. Your story is good and in the end its the story and not the perfect structure that sells books.

Mr Love. A very good friend of mine told me that he had been reviewing your work and had been attempting to aid you in your efforts. I believe he said that your writing showed potential and had promise. He also informed me that you intended to sell your work in the near future so I decided to take a look myself. Without going in to a great amount of detail I would like to advise against you rushing to sell something. A very high percentage of writers here try to jump right into selling with ideas of money and adoration. But the truth is that they are delusional. They haven't the skill as writers to even be considering something of that nature. In the end they get upset and quit. My friend did say that there was potential there in your writing and as he is one of the better writers I have seen here I believe he is sincere. The problem with bookrix is that the people here are nice to a fault. They are not honest about the writing of others. They say they loved it and how great it is when it is not. I am simply here to give an opinion and to try to get you to really take a serious look at it. My friend is an excellent writer and even he knows he is not ready to publish. Mostly because good writing needs professional editing and he does not have anyone to do that for him yet. You may well be the next great writer. I cannot say for certain what the future holds. However you are not where you need to be to sell it. I would hate to see someone with potential get frustrated by trying to push too fast. I only have one real bit of advise that I truly believe you need to do. You need to read some other writing here and some well written books to have a gauge of what good really is. You do not have to but I would even recommend reading some of his writing as well because he is good. Either way you can take what I am saying with a grain of salt because this is all an opinion and nothing more.

Yes because that is the one I am reading. When I click on it I can see that it has three views so far and I can assume that one of them is me.

I do hope I did not say something to offend you in the message I sent the other day. If so I apologize. I try hard to help but sometimes I might be too critical.
