I cannot believe that first chappy and second chappy is written by same people. Is it? If first chappy was fast forward the second chappy was stable and well written. It is obvious you have thought out what to write in each chapter and that is good.
The best part of this story is you set the stage. The first chap was about Geet, the second chap about Maan! Well written!
Ok! I have read the whole chapter twice and found some flaws but later realised that all flaws are connected! You see, your chapter needs editing, thats all!
Mistakes found:
1. Space missing between two words in some places!
2. Words missing in sentence! That scene where Maan rolls his eyes and mumbles about his Dadu, some word is missing in it!
3. Carrier is written when it is supposed to be career!
Not insulting you or anything, just stating the facts. Now I do these mistakes too.
1. The first problem happens when you type fast. The space button does not get pressed right way so you miss out on space. I face it too. Infact, even right now, my 'p' and 'g' are giving trouble.
2. Second problem happens because our brain is faster than our typing. Happens to me all the time!
3. Now this mistake is again due to brain being faster, your brain subconsciously ignores this mistakes as it wants you to type down the thought in your head before it vanishes.
All three problem can be solved by editing.
Now there are two ways to do it!
1. You write the work, leave it alone for 2 to 4 hours and then reread it. The mistakes will pop out at you. (I reread even my posts before pressing post reply button😉) This popping out will happen as the writing is not fresh in your brain and hence it does not subconsciously ignore your mistakes!
2. Send it to someone. Dona or Sia or Aru! Any of your partners! As they have not written it, they will find mistakes easily! And will correct it too! Infact, best is one write it, two edit it; that way there will be double safeguards for mistakes.
And if you writing your story directly on IF, stop doing it. The window is small for typing and posting here and hence you will do a lot of mistakes. Plus, if ever light or net went away, you are doomed!😕 Write it on MS Word, edit it and then post it! Spelling mistakes will be cleared with MS Word too.
Ok! I am done with commenting on this chapter. So far finding only simple mistakes which editing can take care of! Lets see what next chappy brings!
Take care
Kalpana
P.S. Awesome comic timing with Dada Dadi!
