Good voice, interesting scene.
A few bit...Hooked! Good voice, interesting scene. <br /><br />A few bits stood out at me, though. A sentence like "her phone and her lap we now completely soaked" - aside from the typo - is quite passive and could be rewritten to be much more active and interesting. The dialogue tags also bothered me: gasped, stammered, etc. Instead, <i>show</i> how they're saying what they're saying.<br /><br />Bits like "jumping up at the shock of being covered in her own drink" are overwriting; she just spilled coffee on herself, we understand why she's gasping and jumping up.<br /><br />You might want to tweak the last paragraph slightly to add a bit more tension, as it seems to resolve some of the conflict--remind us of why she's there (or hint at it) and it might be stronger.<br /><br />Like I said, though, I'm hooked. All those are just my personal thoughts :) Good luck with this!Corinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17346963796400016806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-29804438235570138322010-05-28T15:24:50.511-04:002010-05-28T15:24:50.511-04:00The idea of it leaves me intrigued, because I want...The idea of it leaves me intrigued, because I want to know why she's watching a guy for three days, without knowing exactly why.(and I'm also intrigued that no one noticed her watching him for three days). If she's an agent, she sure isn't experienced or well trained.<br /><br />However I have to admit I don't like the title. It's a bit too... much, for the lack of a better explanation.<br />I think some more subtle hints, maybe of an upcoming danger or something would make it better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-57005860158124498102010-05-27T22:04:25.634-04:002010-05-27T22:04:25.634-04:00I agree with Iwanna, the construction of the first...I agree with Iwanna, the construction of the first sentence threw me a little. <br /><br />But I am definitely hooked anyway.

Don't say things like 'intended target' instead give him a nickname. If she's been staring at him for a few days... she's named him in her thoughts... <br /><br />"Can I get you a refill?" Pretty-boy's deep voice came from right behind Jordan.~Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872228115110257474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-16496354590841996862010-05-27T18:47:56.379-04:002010-05-27T18:47:56.379-04:00You've established conflict well!
There are b...You've established conflict well!<br /><br />There are basic writing things that need to be fixed. For instance:<br /><br />"Oh crap!" she gasped, jumping up...<br /><br />You can't physically "gasp" words. If you want her to gasp, you might reconstruct the sentence like this:<br /><br />She gasped and jumped up. "Oh, crap!" <br /><br />Also:<br /><br />"Are you alright, Miss?" There is no such word as "alright." It's ALL RIGHT. And I think the "miss" sounds kinda stilted, but that may just be me.<br /><br />One more:<br /><br />Oh very smooth, Jordan, she cursed herself. Way to blend in.<br /><br />I would take out the "she cursed herself" and make it more immediate by simply providing the internal dialogue in italics:<br /><br /><i>Oh very smooth, Jordan. Way to blend in.</i><br /><br />So some editing and tightening will help this a lot. Like I said, you've got the basic conflict down, and it's certainly a situation a lot of us can relate to. (Well, at least me. I spill stuff on myself all the time...)Authoresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223228949688667517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-13466498287870583942010-05-27T17:18:33.630-04:002010-05-27T17:18:33.630-04:00I like this story and feel like it's full of p...I like this story and feel like it's full of potential. Similar to what David said, I was confused how a girl could hang out for three days without being noticed - guess it depends on the size of metro she's in maybe. I think if you give the reader more insight into that, it would be an awesome story. I was very nearly hooked.braukeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08058656200541303409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-79088211346358107162010-05-27T16:20:49.927-04:002010-05-27T16:20:49.927-04:00I was definitely intrigued.

Who is giving her orders?<br /><br />Two minor things threw me off. First, if she's been at a coffee bar all day (for three days straight), then it would be truly difficult to blend in. The staff would surely notice someone who suddenly started hanging around all day.<br /><br />Second, if her only purpose is to watch the nameless pretty-boy, how does she manage to lose sight of him - so that he then is able to get behind her? I imagine her sitting in the corner - or somewhere likewise strategic.<br /><br />Again, minor points. I'd keep reading to get some answers.Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08098421303237855760noreply@blogger.com
