I really love this story It's like I can relate to how she feels in some ways.
I love the way you describe things and how the chapters are short and end with a mysterious line.
I love the layout and the banner how they all match together.
Very good at writing udate please?
Thank you for joining my contest. :)
Layout
I'm not a fan. I honestly prefer having colored backgrounds with white content and black text. It's more pleasing to the eye. Instead I have read this in the normal mibba layout because this layout is distracting.
Summary
I adore road trip stories and mainly the 'find yourself' type of story. So I'm very interested in seeing where you go with this. There's a lot of potential for a piece that includes the whole 'finding yourself and moving on' plot line so very excited to see where you go.
Content
chapter one
Instead, she could still see each individual stalk of corn and whisp of grain that the bus drove past. 'whisp' should be 'wisp'.
A few more moments would pass before she knocked and called trying to get an answer for the empty room. 'for' should be 'from'.
her eyes catching the note tapped to the window that sat opposite the door. 'tapped' should be 'taped'.
Like I said before I really like the idea of this. And this first chapter is an excellent way to kick off the story. Not much to say, but I really like the little scenario she cooks up.
chapter four
Maybe if she did than her problems would disappear. should be 'then' instead of 'than'.
Honestly I feel like this needed to be longer. You portrayed the mourning portion perfectly, but there was no real sense of accomplishment for me. It was a few chapters of her being upset over the loss of her loved one which of course, is perfectly acceptable. But your summary leads me to believe this is going to be a story of re-discovery and moving on, etc. and while at the end it sort of insinuates that's going to happen I would've like to see it happen. But otherwise, the writing is lovely and I really enjoy the overall narrative even if it is a bit depressing.
