I apologize if I wasn't clear. Ngozi is stirring the rice while at home after visiting the market.
In the next paragraph you talk about the boys in the market:
"Ngozi watched them, her heart pounding slightly faster. The young men were wearing shirts with the face of one of the newer candidates plastered across their chests. His slogan was bold, painted in bright letters: "For the People, By the People!" She had heard about him—Yusuf Adedayo. A fresh face, a man from the grassroots, they said. A man who understood the pain of the common Nigerian. But Ngozi wasn’t sure if that made a difference anymore.
As she turned to leave the market, a voice called out to her. “Ngozi! My sister!” She turned and saw Ifeoma, her best friend, weaving through the crowd towards her.
“Ngozi, what are you doing here at this time? It’s not safe to be out late anymore,” Ifeoma said, her eyes darting around the busy market.", then continue on with her friend asking her why is she out so late. Then she goes home.
She's already at home.
Did you see my last reply to your comment?
I did see you last reply. However, the post still read as above as of a few minutes ago. Perhaps it takes time for the changes to be seen.
Thanks so much.
Oh, I haven't edited it on Hive yet. I meant on my personal manuscript. I posted it long ago, so I found out that there was an error in chapter one. The same part you pointed out. I didn't know I could still edit posts that have been paid out, which was why I didn't bother again. However, if it works, I will try it since you are interested in the story or better still. I can send you the manuscript.
When you say "personal manuscript" what do you mean?
I meant the one that contains all the story chapters.
Is this place you posted all your chapters away from Hive on another platform?
I see your Chapter 1 you posted to your Hive account, but not in a community, just to your blog. It doesn't matter if the post has paid out, you can make minor changes to it. Be mindful that people who read your story before you edited supported it based upon what was written then and not a major change to its theme or writing. Reorganizing paragraphs to make for a clearer read I feel is acceptable.
Then you started posting the story in the WRITING CLUB Community at Chapter 5. Did you read the RULES of that Community about only posting original stories never posted on any other platform?
Different Communities have different rules, so take care to adhere to them.
I haven't posted it on another platform before. They are original story. I'm just telling you if you would like to have a copy of the chapter you are referring to. I can make a few adjustments to the chapter one you mentioned early on my blog page. So, no worries.
