“Their manners are more gentle, kind, than of our generation you shall find.”- William Shakespeare, The Tempest. Chapter 6 By early morning, the mist from the loch was in full opacity, suspended over the black water like a white phantom. The sun was rising slowly, casting its bright dawn sunshine on the front window of the sandstone cottage. Derrien had returned, passing the front window like a shadow as he approached the cottage door. He had seen that Thea was sitting with their guest at the fireside. The pair had been talking quietly, their bodies leaned in toward each other.
I love how you keep the pace of the story. It doesn't get boring, and I look forward to reading the next chapter. Well done! Have you thought to publish is on Kindle?
I could probably do you at least a proofread if you like. The main thing I do is translation, but that also involves proofreading other people's translations. So I am kind of professionally qualified in that regard. I'm not a professionally qualified editor though in the sense that you are probably looking for. But proofreading, certainly (and I could probably leave a few editorial suggestions as comments in an editable word document, without actually 'editing' if you see what I mean). Anyhow, let me know if/as/when the time comes...
To give myself a recap before I move onwards, this is the second time I've read this chapter and it's even better than the first time. It's a really great character chapter, especially the fact that they each have their own private and secret ideas about each other, and that there are unspoken relationships going on.

Thank you so much. That's definitely the plan. I need to finish it and then get it edited and I'll definitely do that.
Do you know a good editor?
I have a few to choose from, which is unfortunate because I want to give all of them the work 😂
If you can recommend someone, that would be awesome!
I'd love to work with S. E Reid. She offers editing and proofreading services
Thank you!

Very brooding
I'm so glad you think so, Autumn. Things only get better (or worse, for the characters, maybe?) from here.
