I looked back to see Emma's leg get half torn off by a walker... "EMMA NO!!!" I yelled. She was screaming in pain. I pulled out my pistol and shot the walker. "BANG" I ran, and knelt beside Emma. "Emma what I have to do now, I am sorry for", i sighed. I took out a bloody hatchet, and I slammed it into the spot above Emma's bite. Blood squirted out everywhere. She screamed in pain, as I contenued cutting through the leg bone. In seconds, the leg was only holding on by a few peices of skin... She had passed out from blood loss. I looked to my right, and saw a giant Horde of walkers coming... "Oh my god...", I whispered. PM me for the whole book! |

Stealing from The Walking Dead = Strike one
Spoiling important plot twists in before writing the actual story. = Strike Two.
Using the word "BANG" In a story. = Strike Three.
Cutting off a characters leg after just saying the walker bit it off. = Strike Four.
Oh, and having a zombie bite a leg off. = Strike Five.
The hatchet shouldn't be bloody before using it. = Strike Six.
Oh, and the whole cutting off a characters leg thing was already used in TWD Game chapter 2. = Strike Seven.
Refusing to go into any actual detail and just reading off what happened (I shot the walker, she passed out, she was screaming in pain) = Strike eight.
Implying that a character would so nonchalantly cut off the leg of another. = Strike Nine.
Don't type in caps when a character is yelling. = Strike Ten
Ten strikes and you're out. |

First of all, I dont watch or play walking dead games Second of all, I didnt type book EXACTLY AS IT IS 3rd of all I used this paragraph to get people to like the book and get a sneak peak before i let them read whole thing 4th of all the hatchet was bloody because earlyer in the story he killed a deer, and didnt wipe blood off 5th of all it was a typo on the Caps when yelling part. 6th of all he cried after he cut Emma's leg off 7th of all the zombie bit her leg off because if you had not noticed, ZOMBIES EAT PEOPLES BODYS 8th of all he had to cut her leg off immediatly before the virus spread through her body 9th of all the bang was just a sound, somone didnt yell BANG 10th of all i didnt use lots of detail because i had to go offline soon. BOOM...... |

Why did you call them walkers?
3rd of all I used this paragraph to get people to like the book and get a sneak peak before i let them read whole thing
Fair enough, don't spoil major details in your story though.
4th of all the hatchet was bloody because earlyer in the story he killed a deer, and didnt wipe blood off
Fair enough.
5th of all it was a typo on the Caps when yelling part.
Unlikely.
6th of all he cried after he cut Emma's leg off
Then mention it in the story.
7th of all the zombie bit her leg off because if you had not noticed, ZOMBIES EAT PEOPLES BODYS
First: Proof the caps thing from earlier wasn't a mistake. Second: A human can't bite through flesh and bone. Neither can a zombie.
8th of all he had to cut her leg off immediatly before the virus spread through her body
Aye, it should have been an important moral dileam in the story, he shouldn't have said, eh sorry mate. I've got to cut your leg off.
9th of all the bang was just a sound, somone didnt yell BANG
Realize that. It still shouldn't be used in a story.
10th of all i didnt use lots of detail because i had to go offline soon.
Objection, this is a paragraph taken from your story. Thus this must have been written prior to actually posting this thread.
BOOM what? |

First paragraph in book: I woke up in my bed, as I took my first breaths for the morning. I looked slowly to my right, expecting to see my wife's light gray beutiful eyes. Instead, I found a blood stain on her side of the bed... "Emily?" I called out. No response... My heart started pounding against my chest. I slowly got out of bed, and walked out into the living room. "Emily?" I yelled this time. No response once again... I turned on my T.V to see the morning news. Instead on every channel, I heard the same message. "All citizines of The United States, are to evacuate to Atlanta Georgia Immediatlly once they recieve this message.A life threatining infection is spreading around. Anyone exposed to the virus, is to wash infected area thoroughly with soap, water, and poroxide*** This is an recorded message, and will replay in the next thirty seconds." A virus?, I thought to myself. Just then I heard a groan from my kitchen... -END- |

An incredibly generic opening = Strike one.
Where did the blood stains come from? If a zombie turned bit her on the bed then it would have also attacked her husband. If she naturally got the virus she wouldn't have left a blood stain. Besides she would bit her husband. I'll just assume that's a period stain and imagine this entire story is a metaphor for how a woman's period makes them act like zombies. Strike two
A virus like this wouldn't pop up over night. Strike Three
If you can clean the infected area with soap water and poroxide then why did the guy hack the woman's leg off? Strike Four
An incredibly generic ending. Strike Five.
Citizines = Strike Six.
-End- = Strike Seven Eight Nine and Ten. Please stop doubting your readers intelligence. We an tell when somebody has ended. |

Sorry i forgot how to spell citizine, second, (I will add this) She tryed to commit suicide 3rd the apocalypse did spread in like 4 hours so i bet it can spread at least 9 hours 4th the recorder for the recorded message, did not know yet if you die from the infection, so they said to wash it, pour poroxide, etc. (Later in story he finds out this dosnt work) And I know I need to work on my descriptive language Im in 6th grade and my launguage art's teacher would be like "What da hell is dis!" Lol |

"Please stop doubting your readers intelligence. We an tell when somebody has ended." Are you implying that I am a bad author? All I'm trying to do is entertain people with a book! |

First: Why? Still doesn't explain the blood.
Second: No. An infection can't spread in 4 hours. There would be early warning signs, this would be on the news for atleast a week before it got bad. |

| you can always get better, right now you're giving poor examples of imagery, the point of a book is to get the readers to feel what the characters feel in a way |

-You should work on a better hook. -Get background from other zombie shows, movies, and books. -Don't use onomatopoeia, unless if this is going to be like a comic. -Don't use similar scenes from TWD. Hershel gets his leg bit and had to be amputated.

Dangit, how did I miss that for my "Strike" thing? Such an obvious flaw. |

| I suggest adding more details and longer sentences, using brushstrokes and complex will help. Also, you might want to go into more depth about the character and their feeling, not just skim over what's happening. Good start though. |

How do we know? You could have been 7 in 2009 when TWD came out. Also, no one said you were the worst author And if you are oh, so much more older than a 7-year-old, then you should have made revisions by now.
