Bu...As a native New Englander, I love this premise. But consider starting out with the reason for the story. A magical diary lets Eve and Jane, eleven-year-old friends separated by a hundred years, write to each other across time. Then you can have something like: Jane, dreaming of leaving her Martha’s Vineyard farm, boards a whaling ship doomed to disaster. Eve's difficult choices threaten the chance of her saving Jane in the past.Barbarahttp://www.barbaralbates.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1940209088259004106.post-26037808775027412272012-10-20T21:56:30.622-04:002012-10-20T21:56:30.622-04:00I agree with all the previous comments.

OR<br /><br />When Eve chooses to ____, her chances of saving Jane in the past are all but doomed.<br />Just a thought!

Be concrete there. Spell out what those tough decisions Eve faces are, or at least the biggest one. That's my two cents. Good luck with this!Chris Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628682876855958199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1940209088259004106.post-39997648096124945872012-10-20T16:40:21.768-04:002012-10-20T16:40:21.768-04:00I just love this premise!

It's such a hook, to me. <br />The middle line gives me a clear view of the tension in the story, but maybe you could rearrange the order of the words. The same for the conclusion. I know that this isn't the most helpful suggestion, because it's so vague, but I think reordering the words would help the reader's thought process. Mollynoreply@blogger.com
