I love how you open up with the colorful sensory descriptions. It tends to set the mood. This account is like wading through a box of 64 colors of crayons. It is delightful. I hope you continue.

This is an excellent story. I enjoyed reading it. Your entire presentation is good. You use descriptive words that draw in a reader and made him or her think. I love the dialogue and theme.

Best wishes!

Alexandra

Ah so Seana is a half mermaid on weekends only. I do understand her question because I have the same one. How does that work? But I will have to wait and see. I like this story already. Ulla:)))

Well this is definitely different and I should have read the title of the book in preparation for the ending of this chapter. You included a lot here and already I have a pretty clear picture of it all. Good pace and descriptive detail with Seana the central figure. This is going to be a fun story with the friends aiding and abetting Seana in her half-mermaid lifestyle. No changes recommended. Thanks for sharing Debbie

It's a safe bet that most girls have seen Muriel in the Little Mermaid movie and television shows. And I'm sure they will all enjoy reading your story about Seana being a half mermaid on weekends. Thanks for sharing.

Well, everything sounded like a normal teen gathering with talks about boys and dressing up and taking forever to get ready. But then the bomb is dropped about Seana being half mermaid. And the seahorse pendant giving special ideas is very cool!

I really like the story. I pointed a few problems with dialogue, but there are many more dialogue problems. You might want to review the guidelines for writing dialogue.

What's up, Cory, with Charlie following you around all night? Seana asked. (dialogue, try - "What's up, Cory, with Charlie following you around all night?" Seana asked.)

Mrs. Parish said we should hang around together since we are playing Romeo and Juliet in the spring play. He is attached to my hip everywhere I go. (dialogue again, quotation marks needed)

Juliana piped up, "he's in my French II class." (capital 'H' on 'He's)

Cory had a puzzled look on her face, "Shouldn't he be in French III as a senior?"

They all looked at Seana. She shrugged, "I don't know him at all."
