this fiction Story Is just too awesome please check on it. I want to be a curie curator
Hi I enjoyed this story and gave it my full upvote. From the perspective of a curie submission, in my opinion, it is "good" but not "excellent". I do not think it would be approved if submitted. Here there is not anything I can point to that is necessarily WRONG with this story - it is original, the images are sourced, and it is enjoyable. There is just a difference between "good/enjoyable" writing and "excellent" writing. I will try to give you a specific example.
There is a saying in writing - "show, don't tell". This author is TELLING us everything that happened. The author *tells* us that they made love. He tells us that they became deeply in love with each other. This is not exciting writing. A good author will *show* us what is happening in the story - the author will describe the events, describe what falling in love looked like, what it sounded like, etc., not just tell you "we fell in love". A truly exceptional author would never need to tell you they fell in love - instead, the reader would experience the moments and feelings and would *know* they fell in love, having witnessed them falling in love.This is just one example I pulled out but the entire story is written like this - again, it is not BAD, and I enjoyed it. I just don't think it is exceptional.
One tip I can give any curator, yourself included, is to think about what your own areas of expertise are. Those areas are where you are going to be most likely able to detect exceptional posting by others. Are you a video game fanatic? Curate video game reviews. Are you a photographer? Curate photography. Are you a science teacher? Curate science posting. Etc.
While I myself do not choose to focus my posting here on original fiction, my reading comprehension of the English language and ability to analyze writing on many levels has lent itself well to curating for Curie. It is why I have a >95% approval rate for my submissions, in addition to being thorough while checking for plagiarism and reposts. But not every curator is going to be able to detect truly exceptional writing particularly if English is not the curator's native language.
wowo you took Out your time to put out all this, thanks i really appreciate. I just learnt something now, and that is to focus on my niche
I hope you drop me a link in the new post :) New Curator Incubator up. Cheers - Carl
