This is the writing scale its a one to ten scale, with 10 the best, and 1 the worst. its based of categories
- Spelling and grammar. No one fragments. Mistakes affect the flow of the stories.
- Action. A boring story gathers no crowd
- Imagery. Details. A story like “A guy walked in the room and order a drink” holds nothing like “The suave super spy smoothly slid soundly into the seat. ‘Sasprilla,Said the Spy. Stirred, slightly shaken” which is also alliteration
- Plot. A story has to GO somewhere, be moving. You can have an occasional lull, but if reading your story is like walking through mud, its not going to be good enough
- Characters. Some people thing its a form of detail, and it is, but it does have its own category. A character carries plot, paints detail, is the action! A character that is ill defined or even contradicting itself is not good. Well develop your characters.
- Dialog. If your ‘words’ seem out of place, off center, not on character, you literary card-house will tumble. each conversation should be natural, intuitive, and worth reading
- Just the general mish-mash of other stuff. I’ll update the scale if needed
