Can you tell me what you think of my story so far?
Seems pretty interesting, with unique ideas and interesting characters that you can like. I like it, even though I'm not crazy about realistic fiction writing. You can go far with this idea, keep it up! Just make sure you write smoothly and don't have a whole paragraph of information about what has happened or who her friends are, spread it out, because when you give a little hint of something interesting, you snag the reader's attention and they want to keep reading, like you did when you said that she had been to the police station. That was great! But if you have a huge blob of info, readers will loose interest. Oh, and always read it out loud it make sure it sounds natural, like in the part when the story says, "I got up from the warm, soft couch where I had been sitting every since I got home from the police station." It was kind of choppy when you had two adjectives before couch. I have one more piece of constructive criticism, most stories happen on a happy, or just not sad note so it gives the reader a good feeling, and then once the reader reads enough to really care about the characters, you hit 'em hard and have something really bad happen. I'm not saying you should change it, like in a story I'm writing, the main character's brother just died, so if you feel like this is the best way, go for it! I love the story! And remember, you can always go back and change things later, so just go with the flow of your writing, and always, never give up! Good luck!
