Hello! Thank you for all the advice firstly. It's true, the publishing aspect of the contest is really the biggest goal! I don't have any super high expectations to win as you said, (not due to lack of confidence but just thinking logically with the odds and such) but! I have already found a great community and I've been able to prove to myself that I *can* write consistently if I just don't overthink things. So sometimes the journey is just as important as the potential end result or even more so in some cases. ^^
As for your lovely prologue!!
There were so many times that the metaphors and descriptors you used evoked a strong imagery as a reader. :) There was also definitely a lot of emotion in this chapter and although I can't say I know these characters too well just yet, I did still feel connected to them and wanted them to suceed.
I'm interested to see where this story goes. I hope that I started reading at the right spot as well because from what I saw others saying, this was added later I think? Unless I'm mistaken in which case I'll continue on!
Either way I thought you did a great job and look forward to reading more chapters as well. Hope you're having a nice day!
