Real Life Diagnostics is a weekly column that studies a snippet of a work in progress for specific issues. Readers are encouraged to send in work with questions, and I diagnose it on the site. It’s part critique, part example, and designed to help the submitter as well as anyone else having a similar problem.
If you're interested in submitting to Real Life Diagnostics, please check out these guidelines.
Submissions currently in the queue: One
Please Note: As of today, RLD slots are booked through November 11.
This week’s questions:
1. This is an opening scene, how does it do? Does it incite the reader, or does it need to be fleshed out more?
2. It is written from Rhys' POV (Limited Third Person) have I contained myself to that POV properly?
3. Does the fighting feel realistic, or stilted?
Market/Genre: YA to Adult Fantasy Fiction
On to the diagnosis…
