A. White liked a chapter from The Bully Book

If I weighed all the bad things about my first week of school, against the good, it would be a very lopsided affair, but it only takes one good thing to wash all the shit away. All it takes is a little bit of hope.

Thanks to a raging addiction to slot machines, booze, and a city council that has a finger in every bar and nightspot in town, the city’s population were the recipients of its first ever water events center. It makes the locals feel better knowing that every bet they . . .

      All boys’ schools are unnatural, unhealthy, and the most dangerous insult is being called gay. But I had homogrips.

        Leave the positive stuff on the campaign page, but by all means PM the author if you catch something. Mine had a few tweaks that I fixed that way. In a way, crowd-sourcing puts many more eyes on your novel and work than you alone will ever catch. 

        But, largely, just pm the author. Not only is that good practice, it helps you form an actual relationship. If a book manages to fund, it will go through extensive editing by people actually being paid to do that. Look at the one or two sample chapters tossed up as sort of a ’beta’ draft of a book for an idea. 

        If you find yourself judging commas... you are barking up the wrong tree as 99.9% of the drafts on inkshares haven’t been through copy editing yet.

          Scathing critiques say more about the one giving the criticism than the work being criticized I believe.  I have been on the receiving end of that too many times myself and it is not helpful in the least.
