hey

Thank you so much for adding Entitled to your favorites in so glad you like it!

I got your messages about giving "Falling Into A Deep Canyon" a Favorite.

Do you understand what the "Favorite" tab is for? It's not like the "yes" button on Facebook, nor is it meant as an expression of approval of the writer. They have that so in case the book looks like something you want to read, or maybe have begun to read and liked, but didn't have time to finish reading, it can be found easily later on. It's like putting a book on a shelf. It has nothing to do with how good or well-written the book is, and nothing to do with being friends with someone.

I began to read her book, and while it seems like it might be interesting, I can hardly understand it because it's so poorly-written. The spelling and grammar need to be edited big-time, and while I'd love to see this writer do well with it, I have no reason to put it in my "Favorites" because it's too confusing to read. I'm not trying to be mean or anything - I'm really not. I'm just being honest, and also trying to explain to you about the whole "Favorites" thing. She's your friend, so of course you want to support her and help her with her stories, but she needs to proof-read and edit her story before posting it.

Ever watch "American Idol" out-takes? It's shows all the people who didn't make it. Some of them can't sing at all, while others aren't awful but need training. Sadly, all of them say the same thing: "My mom (or friends, or relatives) told me I have a great voice and that I could be the next American Idol! How can you say I need more training?" And they get hysterical, run off crying, and end up hating those who cared enough to be honest. It's the same here. Heba has an awesome imagination and the potential to one day be a really good writer, since good books all begin with great story lines. She's got that part, but needs to work on the actual writing before expecting to be recognized as a writer.

So while it might sound "mean" and "hurtful" for me to say these things, please understand that I've been doing this for a long time and wouldn't even bother addressing this if I didn't see that this story has possibilities. But I won't lie and say it's a great book. It's not. Not yet. In its current state it's almost unreadable, but if your friend takes the time to work on her language skills, she can improve it to the point where people who DON'T know her will recommend the book to others.

As her friend, you should encourage her to improve her English and learn the proper way to formulate and write a book. One of the best ways is to read a whole lot of books by well-known authors, and make notes about how and where they use paragraphs, quotations, and the proper use of grammar and spelling.

She's lucky to have a good friend like you who will take the time to try and help her, so I applaud you for that. I also wish her the best, and will go to her book page to tell her this, too. Anyway, I think you're a pretty cool person for doing this for your friend. ')

If you have the time do you think you could check out my book "Break Through"?
