Hi there. I was working on a similar project but the writing style was more poetic. Here's a snapshot of it:
The night was cold and dreary, barren of life. Then, without warning, the darkness was accompanied by the sound of hurrying feet; pitter-patter, pitter-patter it went.
It was ten-year-old Asif who had broken the silence. A strange sight it made to some; a boy outside the warm hearth of home in the dead of night. Yet, to Asif, it made perfect sense.
Words had carried him far from his warm bed. Words that had cut him to the bone. It was the heated exchange of words at home that weighed heavy on his mind as he slowly trudged through the dark with feet that had begun to ache.
Seeking shelter, a place to lay his tired head, he caught sight of a lush, green forest. Weary-eyed, he plodded through tangles of bushes, boots caked with mud, only to pause for breath near an old tree. He startled when it spoke softly in a low voice:
Poor child, how your frown saddens me. Whatever is the matter?
I understand that the draft for this project is already done and that it only needs editing. However, I would first need to know your preferred writing style (I assume it's "Once upon a time..."), deadline and word count before I can make a final bid with an accurate time frame. I would prefer to have the draft sent over so I can work on, perhaps, a page of it and you can see if my work is satisfactory. Let me know. Cheers.
