Easy, the narrator ends the book and another character picks up and describes what happened to the original narrator. This book has that structure: https://www.amazon.com/Hollywood-Expats-Tale-Death-Love-ebook/dp/B08TV76LG9

You're talking about slant rhymes. https://www.masterclass.com/articles/what-is-slant-rhyme-understanding-the-definitions-of-slant-rhyme-and-why-slant-rhymes-are-useful-in-writing-with-examples

Sorry, the formatting for that article is shit but the info is good.

Slant rhyme combined with iambic pentameter makes for really punchy, memorable poetry that can easily be turned into song lyrics thanks to the inherent rhythm of pentameter structure.

Hey Blame,

The use of present tense helps to bring across the immediacy of the action. Nice to see some diving in with a fight scene.

That said, there are two main directions for my critique:

• Telling vs showing. We've got a fair amount of 'direct description of action' here, and not a lot of visceral PoV details. You might be interested in reading this Masterclass article on the subject.

• Just to keep the pace flowing as quickly as the presentation suggests, you might want to look at fitting a few more linebreaks into this. A particularly notable example is where the dialogue is in the middle of a paragraph, but in general, if you separate out the actions/reactions and the various characters movements, you can help better guide the reader through your section. There's an article here that might be of help.

Congratulations for your first submission to the thread. There's also another writer who submitted so it would be great if you could offer them some critique, just to keep the community a mutually supportive one.

Have a great week, and good luck with your future writing.

I'm not an expert on copyright (also obligatory: not a lawyer), but I would think that it would still be copyright infringement if it's a screenshot within an app.

If your desired images are generic enough, you might be able to find something on Wikimedia Commons -- most if not all of the pictures there are licensed under the Creative Commons License or the public domain. There's also Pexels but I'm not too familiar with everything on there. You'll have to read the fine print (it might even be different for each post there)

Read some spy novels! watch spy movies (my recommendations are RED and RED 2 (Bruce Willis/Mary Louise Parker), Mr. And Mrs. Smith (Brad Pitt/ Angelina Jolie), and while these isn't 'spy' Mr. Right (Sam Rockwell/Anna Kendrick) and Grosse Point Blank (John Cusack/ Minnie Driver)

The best way to try to write in a particular style is to experience it and emulate. I could attempt to write a high stakes fantasy story, but if most of what I intake is police drama, its not going to come along as smoothly. Not to say there isn't benefits from having broader horizons, there are plenty of inspirations from other sources, investigation, how they build up recurring antagonists how they can make you feel... becoming familiar with the format and the expectations of the genre have tremendous impact on the finished product.

I have plenty of other suggestions, but my wife is dragging me to bed, let me know if there is anything else you'd like to know!

LibreOffice is free. Tbh, I do most of my drafts on GoogleDocs. There are a range of premium writing software offerings as well, but most of them aren't really worth it unless you're planning on self-pubbing a fair amount.

stackedit.io is also a markdown editor that can be integrated with google drive among other options, has some additional features like folders and such, but beyond that is also very simple.

Thank you for all your support guys! I changed the cover a bit in more purple view rather than red and I am happy to say it's now live on Amazon. Ruby Rose and The Crystal Palace
