"Hello Candyce, Thanks for sharing your synopsis. Your story is certainly intriguing. I love the idea of hiding desires and a world of 17-year-olds. Wow.  I'm not going to line edit this yet because IMO you need to go back and clarify what…"

"Overall the concept has promise: a controlling force that is never-ending, powerful citizens who must be kept in check or they will overthrow the D’s. I shudder at the thought of a world populated with only 17 year olds. :-) There are some…"

"Hi Candyce! This synopsis is definitely an improvement. I'll make some line-by-line comments and suggestions, which you are free to take or ignore. Remember that the names of characters must be in caps when they're first introduced. Watch…"

"Hi Candyce, I'm reading this for the first time. It sounds quite gripping. I must admit, though, that I'm confused by the second line. There's one person who can turn desire into reality - got that. But then you follow with the…"

Laura Chesterson replied to Candyce Pruitt-Goddard's discussion Desiderium by Candyce Pruitt-Goddard in the group Synopsis Repair Shop
"Hi Candyce! I understood and like the basic idea of your story -- teens being targeted in a dystopian world, and them rebelling with 'new' ideas for which they're arrested/punished. That definitely has appeal to teen readers. I…"
