"Get in the Water" sung by Penelope would become a COMPLETELY different song btw.
Honestly, she would only need to sing "Get in the water" once, and *splash* "Okay, I'm here. What we doing? 👀"

typos and stuff!! will be pretty in-depth, sorry in advance lmao
@strawbubbysugar hi!! ily!! Here's some stuff I've found. This is gonna seem super rude and if you want me to stop, I'll stop!!
[keep in mind, I'm not an expert, though I have read through a textbook on how to write, edit, and get published. Feel free to discard as much of this criticism as you wish /gen]
When editing a manuscript, the experts say to try and cut 10% of your word count, so be sure to keep that in mind. Anything in your book that you feel icky about, or wasn't worded or written in the best way, needs to be addressed. The first draft was about what you wanted. The final copy will be about what the readers want.
Chapter 1
The key to hooking a reader in is to start with a bang. You want to draw their attention from the first sentence. At the moment, "Busy. Busy busy busy, always so busy," isn't seeming like the optimal use of your first paragraph. It's not making me feel intrigued, or making me want to read more. A chunk of this chapter (or the whole thing) may need to be rewritten.
Tumblr media
This sentence is confusing me, it's not very concise. Maybe something like "This place was designed to mimic the unfinished amusement park, which proudly reached several floors above its head," would make it easier on the brain.
Tumblr media
moment's
Tumblr media
Unsure if 'loaded' is the right word here. Perhaps uploaded would work better?
Also, you can probably get rid of "it was advanced", as it's not needed here.
Tumblr media
I'm feeling like this sentence doesn't make a lot of sense. In a nutshell, it's basically "An AI, now holding onto a toddler." It would work better if you exchanged 'a' with 'the', 'and' with 'was'.
Also, "now with one hand holding onto the seam etc" needs to be changed to "holding onto the labelled seam of a toddler's pants with one hand"
Tumblr media
I believe this sentence is contradicting itself as you'd just told me that it didn't have straining core muscles, but then said it was straining. You may need to add a sentence or two about how its gears were grinding, and/or its legs shaking to keep it in place.
Also, "...attempt to not drop either child" needs to be "....attempt not to drop either child".
Tumblr media
You may want to change the second "calculated" to "found" so you don't repeat words.
Tumblr media
It's not a ball pit anymore bubby X3c
Tumblr media
This needs to be changed. Either the first sentence needs to be "it caught the little one with time to spare" or "catching the little one with time to spare, the fluid etc etc". If you choose the second option, you'd have to edit the rest of the sentence to avoid it running on.
Tumblr media
"The" needs to be lowercase, and ITS needs to be IT'S
Tumblr media
Since we've switched focus from Hello to the kids then back, you may want to establish that this is Hello we're referencing when we say 'it'. Maybe, "The robot gently patted"...?
Also, if you want to be super professional and fancy, you could remove one of those question marks. You don't have to tho!
Tumblr media
Wrong its! Its (without an apostrophe) is the possessive form of it, so it means “belonging to it.” “The cat ate its food.” It's (with an apostrophe) is a contraction (shortened form) of it is or it has. “It's almost Christmas.”
You repeated the word down twice, maybe change one of them?
Dialogue needs to be in a separate line from the rest of the paragraph.
Tumblr media
again, if you want to be fancy you could remove one of these
Tumblr media
It needs to be '...with its face "-Hello Lolly!"' bc the '-' needs to be on both sides
Tumblr media
The "but only for a moment" could be removed to make the sentence flow more easily.
Aaaaand dialouge needs to be in a seperate line.
Tumblr media
*error buzzer noise* wrong its!
Not sure what the "at least" is doing there. Feels like it doesn't fit
from "both children seemed" to "opposite directions" doesn't make sense. Try something like "...end result- they both had a toy and a piece of candy. They ran off in opposite directions."
Again, we're switching focus, so we may want to re-establish that it's the robot we're paying attention to at the end there.
Tumblr media
it's a foam pit, silly!
Tumblr media
foam, not ball
wrong its!
remember we're not using he/him for Hello yet 🤫
Tumblr media
lowercase pronoun after dialouge
not balls! foam! X3
Along doesn't seem quite right. Around, maybe?
New line for dialouge!
"A mischievous grin wormed its"
Tumblr media
Needs another gap in between the last two paragraphs
Tumblr media
For conciseness, consider "Lukas was, at this point, sticking out his..."
Tumblr media
For conciseness, 'for it' could be removed.
Put off from purchasing
Tumblr media
pathfind is probably not the right word to use here. Maybe just use find?
that's what it was here for - to play! (new line after this)
Tumblr media
golden rule! new line for dialouge! (also the 'it' after luukaass needs to be lowercased)
for conciseness, you could remove "in any bit of it's coding"
Tumblr media
the needs to be lowercase
it's not not peaked, it's peeked!
Clarify this is Hello we're talking about with the warning signs
it pronounssss
There's so much more editing to be done (including in this chapter) but this process of screenshotting etc is taking up spoons. Perhaps you could allow me editing access to the manuscript so I can highlight the changes to be made? Or do them for you, if you prefer? /nf
I'm tired QwQ

Broke: Giovanni is Ash's father
Woke: Giovanni has mistakenly believed Ash was his hookup mistake for like a decade and is about to get the surprise of the century seeing that not only are they not related, but the employee he fired a few years ago for being too stupid is now living with him and being a more active father than he was

because here's the thing here's the thing the question was not "would you be more surprised to run into a fairy or a walrus" the question was "would you be more surprised to find a fairy or a walrus AT YOUR DOOR" and while no, i do not believe in fairies and would be surprised to know they EXIST i would NOT be surprised to find one at my door. HOWEVER, if a WALRUS shows up at my door i have to contend with the fact that a walrus somehow made it to my apartment specifically and knocked on my door for god knows what reason. i would be more surprised to know that a fairy EXISTS, of course, but NOT that they're at my door, do you get me?
