Storyteller’s Creed

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.

That myth is more potent than history.

That dreams are more powerful than facts.

That hope always triumphs over experience.

That laughter is the only cure for grief.

And I believe that love is stronger than death.

Take a Look Around...

This is Not a Story Ad

This is an advertisement for my book. This is part of the first chapter. I think it's really good. Please make comments in the bottom. Hard criticism, hard, please!!! lol

This is Not a Story Chapter 1
            One horrible stormy afternoon Lilaque was sitting in a chair looking on eBay. She was trying to find something to free her boredom. She was sure she was never going to find anything interesting. Her boredom was so fierce she thought she would burst. Finally she saw something that caught her eye. It was a book called a most peculiar name.
            “This is Not a Story?” she read. “Maybe there is a description…nope, no description…there is the number to call if you want to buy it. Maybe I do want to buy it…no. I don’t think so. Maybe…no. Maybe…OK, yes.”
            She found herself dialing the number that was on the bottom of the picture.
            Finally the day arrived that she was getting the book; and then came a knock.
            Yes! She thought. “Hello, welcome,” she said.
            “Hello to you too. Here’s your book. We couldn’t keep it anymore. Thank you so much for buying it. We really have to get to a concert really soon, sorry, but we really have to leave.”
            “Bye!” the people said.
            “Bye!” Lilaque yelled as the people got into the car. 

That's it. Remember, HARD criticism!

  1. You are AMAZING! I really like it because 1: you have really cool descriptive words,2 the beginning has that paragraph on boredom, and you really did a good job- but my favorite part[in Chapter 1 at least,] was when she was struggling to decide should she buy the book, or leave it on eBay.
    A couple things... your story is fabulous, all I want changed is like, "you should put this sentence first", and "find another word to use there." so..1 Maybe don't use the word"finally twice", 2 I would add a paragraph in betwee when she orders her book, and when it comes, otherwise it happens too soon. Remember, you don't have to take my criticism. You are 100% heading in the right direction with your story. Pleas keep writing! Hopefully see you later toady.
