Alisha Marie Klapheke replied to Priya Mae's discussion Meet Me There (YA-Contemporary) in the group First Pages (Crit Group)"Hello, Priya! Thanks for sharing your first five.
I enjoyed your writing, but I think you would do well to rework this beginning. When a bucket of characters come at me all at once, my brain shuts off. I stopped trying to figure out who was who--and…"
Priya Mae replied to Priya Mae's discussion Meet Me There: by Priya Mae in the group First Pages (Crit Group)"Cindy, thanks so much for giving me advice on how to distinguish them in the beginning. I never knew, for some reason, if it was okay to just name them right off the bat, or wait till another character said their name for the reader to know who the…"
Natalia Jaster replied to Priya Mae's discussion Meet Me There: by Priya Mae in the group First Pages (Crit Group)"Hi Priya,
I really liked the tone and accessibility of the story. I knew where the characters were and got a clear sense of the setting and what was going on!

"I like the foreshadowing of the beginning.It read smoothly and I really liked the main character from the start.
Overall I believe you can shorten some of your sentences, making them move faster. Also, there are places where you can take out…"
Priya Mae replied to Priya Mae's discussion Meet Me There: by Priya Mae in the group First Pages (Crit Group)"Thank you for reading, Kelley!

Profile Information
- Kind of books I write
- Contemporary, Other
I've never published a novel before, but finished my first novel recently (well, second, including the one I wrote at age 4 called "The Dog That Laid An Egg"....totally a best-seller in the making ;-)). It is a young adult fiction novel called Meet Me There, and I want more than anything for this book to get out there in the world so that people can hear the story I have to tell. I go to school for Psychology, but writing's my one true love and will always be, no matter what career I have.
