[Due 2024-12-27 12:00 pm EST] Capitalization on "Highland Scotch"? "highland scotch"?

When used in the center of a sentence, e.g.,"I will have a glass of Highland Scotch, neat, when I get home this evening," should "Highland" or "Scotch" be capitalized? One or the other? Both? Neither?

What I've seen published seems to vary greatly; I strongly suspect that both words should be capitalized. Hoever, I can't find any references to standardized treatment in style guides or otherwise.

Articles about whiskeys tend to be wildly inconsistent, from what I've found after some brief googling around.

Any advice here — especially with sources I might be able to cite to back up one choice over another?

Hydrogen-Man: The Legacy of Stanley Allen Meyer

In a world dominated by oil giants and political corruption, one man dared to dream of a cleaner, brighter future. Stanley Meyer, a visionary inventor, defied the forces of greed with a revolutionary invention—a car that could run on water, harnessing the limitless power of hydrogen fuel. But Meyer’s groundbreaking technology didn’t just spark hope; it ignited a fierce battle. As powerful interests close ranks to protect their empires, Meyer finds himself hunted, betrayed, and pushed to the brink. Yet, his creation lives on, evolving into something greater than he could have ever imagined. Armed with his hydrogen-powered suit, Meyer becomes Hydrogen-Man, a relentless symbol of resistance against a world bent on keeping fossil fuels at the helm. As Hydrogen-Man fights his way through corporate spies, mercenaries, and conspirators, his legacy becomes a legend—an enduring story of courage, conviction, and the power of one man’s determination to change the world. But as he digs deeper, Meyer uncovers an even darker plot with implications far beyond his own invention—a conspiracy that threatens the future of the Earth itself. Hydrogen-Man: The Legacy of Stanley Allen Meyer is a high-stakes, eco-thriller about a man’s battle for clean energy, the cost of innovation, and the timeless struggle between greed and the greater good. Join the fight for a sustainable future and discover how one man’s dream could change the fate of humanity.

[No due date] I’m not the best writer, but I wrote to my mom, and I want to make sure it’s clear and respectful. Could you take a look and give me honest feedback? feel free to be tough if it helps improve my writing or outlook.

i love my mom:

hi mama,
I wanted to write this out to ensure there’s no misunderstanding, because for me personally, it's also easier to remember when I read vs. us having a heated argument. i understand that you're concerned about my well-being and i appreciate that. right now, i’m feeling really overwhelmed by this decision of screen time, even though i could quickly reverse that, but i’ll explain later. as we know, i just turned 18 and became a legal adult! so  i’m confused why you didn’t talk to me about this first and just made the restriction without any warning or talking to me. i didn’t even realize my sleep schedule was affecting you so much. I am so sorry, but I am aware my sleep pattern is awful and trash.
I understand that students my age are typically out in universities. lets say in another life, where i actually went and moved for college, would you still try to restrict my devices like you are now? what really hurts is that i already don’t feel like an adult yet because i’m still living at home like a high schooler. i want to be a normal college student, but this reinforces that feeling. i'm really eager to experience the independence that comes with being a college student.
what’s even more upsetting is that even apple has a policy where, once a child turns 18, they can manage their own device, including things like screen time! that makes me feel like a company trusts me more to make my own decisions than my mom does, which is such a crazy thing to process!!
I understand that I need to work on a few things to while I learn how to properly function as an adult, but i don’t see how adding restrictions will help me. it just makes me feel even more stuck when i’m trying to build independence. that’s why i got my license, to start taking those steps forward, and you were there to help me with that! you’re still supporting me with the insurance courses, you’re my trusted adult! you’re helping me shape into a woman who i will be one day as you are a strong woman yourself. i want to assure you that i take these responsibilities seriously and i am committed to proving that i can handle them.
i know you do a lot for me, like laundry, dishes, and even helping me wake up, and it might seem like i’m picking and choosing what independence means to me, but i really thought we’d already overcome this issue. that’s why seeing my screen time restricted again felt so sudden and unexpected.
mama, i’m really not trying to argue with you. i just wanted to explain how i feel because i thought we were making progress, and this feels like a step backward. it’s hard for me not to take it personally. i feel like my perspective and feelings are not fully understood, and i believe that open communication is so important for our family.
 i don’t expect a full 180 from this, but it was important for me to tell you how i feel clearly. the feeling of being stuck has been on my mind for quite a while, and i wanted to share that with you. if you have any questions about what i’m saying, i’ll try my best to answer!!
I’m only addressing this because we’re both adults now, and I’m hoping we can have a kind conversation about it. You are NOT a failure as a mother, and I really hope you don’t take it that way. We’re both just human, and I have a few things I want to share with you.

[No Due Date] Dog Book Proofread?

!!DM if interested!!

Just mostly looking for edits/mistakes/misspelled words/etc. Everyone I've shared this with has basically failed me in editing it. They read the first page or two, say I need to do better then never read it again.

I plan on having my books be seven-part sagas. The book I mainly want to be edited (the first one) has 121k words.

PS: If you've ever read Warrior Cats or Survivor Dogs, my books are similar to those (My books are just with dogs instead of cats).

[No due date] Searching for help copyediting my black fiction book.

Hi,

I finished my first book. Novel about black heroes. both historic and new ones. I am thinking of making it into a series of books. But, I don't know if that will ever happen.

I'm searching for some feedback before I move forward with the book, and just general thoughts from potential beta readers. My main worries are with pacing, plot, and whether the story can be easily followed.

[No due date] Searching for help copyediting my psychological suspense/speculative fiction novel!

Hi,

I started working on a novel a while ago and have finished drafting the first part. Titled Project: Destiny, the narrative follows a girl named Destiny, who wakes up far from home with no memory of who she is. She comes to learn that she has been missing for two years. When she returns to a 'home' that she doesn't recognize, she is greeted not with warmth; instead she is met with the echoes of her past, and secrets between the walls that haunt her. A girl named 'Tacerys' finds Destiny and claims to be one of her old friends--although her presence appears to be much more sinister. Each chapter alternates between the past and present, 'before and after' Destiny lost her memories.

So far I have only written the first section, which is 9 chapters and only 16k words long. I'm searching for some feedback before I move forward with the story, and just general thoughts from potential beta readers. My main worries are with pacing, plot, and whether the story can be easily followed.

Please note that I cannot pay compensation. Not looking for anything professional, just general feedback. Comment or DM if you're interested, thank you!

[No Due Date] email to professor

Hello, 

Thank you for allowing me to rewrite the assignment.  I am currently checking with Dr. C to see if there are any other classes I can use in place of xxxx toward my master’s degree.  If there are no other classes that I can use, I will rewrite the paper.  

I would like to inform you that I took xxx in 2011 with Dr. smile. He was a wonderful professor, and honestly I cannot see him requiring me to write an unnecessary paper to revalidate the class. I have been working in my field for over 10 years. If I have remembered or forgotten anything from the xxx, it is irrelevant. My job will not change if I am awarded a master’s degree, only my salary, and believe me, the change in salary is minimal! I do not see a purpose for writing a paper to demonstrate if I have skills or not.  I have never used these skills in the past ten years, and will likely never use them for the rest of my career, but if that is what I need to do to earn a miniscule raise, I will play the game and give it another try.  

Also, I needed to revalidate two other classes prior to xxx and after speaking on zoom with the professor for 5 minutes, they had no issues revalidating those courses.

[Due 2024-10-25 1:30 pm EST] Writing 1 Critical Analysis on "Fremont High School" by Jonathan Kozol

Hi, this is my first time using this subreddit. I am currently a high school Junior however my school does have College Credit Plus classes, and I am in Writing 1. I have a critical analysis that I need to print out tomorrow, my teacher says I need to stop worrying and just write because she says I am good, but I still worry. Especially since she says she can no longer proofread them for us. I also did not want to share this on Google Docs because I really don't like sharing my name on the internet so I'm very sorry for the inconvenience and I hope it's still okay to be posted. If it looks fine just how it is, fantastic, if there are small things that's fine, and things that you believe could improve the paper a lot would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the yap! :)

“Fremont High School” Critical Analysis

A proper education is essential to a successful life. However, it can be hindered when that education is not sufficiently facilitated due to problems such as poverty. In 2005, author, activist, and educator, Jonathan Kozol wrote *The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America.* Within the book, Kozol wrote a section titled “Fremont High School” where he presented information about the various issues of Fremont High, a Los Angeles school. The article's main goal is to highlight how poorly funded and improperly run schools can harm students' education. Kozol does this by using numerous quotes from the various Fremont High students and teachers. He also uses many descriptive phrases to create clear mental images of what occurs in the school, as well as using multiple pictures throughout his writing. Kozol’s writing effectively draws attention to how poorly funded and improperly run schools can negatively affect the education of young students.

Kozol establishes the basic description of the school within the very first paragraph. He informs the readers of the student population, which is in the thousands with the number of students attending around 3,300. Then using a multitude of descriptive sentences and photos Kozol paints a vivid picture of how Fremont High is poorly maintained. He uses a variety of quotes from teachers and students to help explain how the school is run. One of the major issues that was brought up by one of the students is the bathrooms within Fremont High School. The student interviewed explained the many issues with the restrooms and how the lack of clean and workable bathrooms negatively impacts the dignity of the learners at Fremont High. This is one of the many examples Kozol effectively uses in his writing. Kozol's writing discusses many issues and his piece does a great job of making the reader think about how education is damaged when it is stricken by poverty.

To start, Kozol is able to display his main idea well through the support he uses. Within the article “Fremont High School” Kozol uses many reliable and credible sources of information. The main sources are quotes from those who attend Fremont High and those who work at the school. The quotes he uses help the reader understand the issues with the school in a way that the reader can understand and empathize with. For example, one of the students Kozol interviewed was a girl named Mireya. She discussed many of the issues with the schooling at Fremont. One of the problems she was very passionate about was how she was placed into sewing classes in the previous year and now she was placed into hair-dressing, both of which she did not have a say in. This led her to say, “I don’t *want* to take hair-dressing. I did not need sewing either. I knew how to sew. My mother is a seamstress in a factory. I’m trying to go to college. I don’t need to sew to go to college. My mother sews. I hoped for something else.” (Kozol, 6) The use of this quote demonstrates the unfairness of Fremont High’s schooling. With the way the school is run the classes fill too quickly meaning those who want to take special classes like APs cannot. Not allowing students to take those elective classes damages their education, making it harder for the pupils to get a higher education or a good career which many people need for a successful life. The second way Kozol uses support is his use of photographs. Within his article, only two images are used. The first is an image of the front sign of the school which states “Fremont High, The Friendly School.” The use of that photo shows the misleading title of the school early in Kozol’s article before the reader knows much about the school. The second picture is an image of the school from a distance, with a steel fence in the foreground. This photo makes the school seem like a prison, with the students being stuck in the school guarded by a large fence. These photos paint a negative image of the school in the reader's mind. These first-hand accounts from the students of Fremont High and the photographs included draw a lot of attention to how inadequately run and poorly funded schools have a detrimental impact on the education of students, especially those who need that education.

The second way Kozol draws attention to how poverty in schools negatively affects students is his appeal to the reader. He creates an emotional appeal by using a mix of facts and descriptions in his writing. Kozol gives information and details about the school in a way that causes the reader to feel sympathetic toward the many kids who must endure the school's poor conditions. At times Kozol writes in a way that makes the reader feel as if they are experiencing the issues at Fremont High. This emotional appeal is created mostly by the sources and information he uses. The quotes from the students appeal to the reader, especially those who may have experienced something similar in their lives. Another way Kozol creates emotional appeal and a sense of sympathy, and depending on the reader, possibly empathy, is how he describes the school. Describing the physical properties of a location when telling information about it is very important and how writers do so will affect how important that information will be. In Kozol’s writing, he describes the characteristics of the school building in detail. The many details contained in Kozol's writing such as the descriptions of the large eight-foot fence adorned with spikes that surrounds the school building, or the unclean classrooms that were converted from storage closets. The large amount of detail that was poured into these descriptions makes the reader understand the poor conditions of the school, and that appeals to the reader’s emotions. The use of multiple quotes from students and descriptions of the school's vile conditions captures the reader’s emotions and is a successful tactic in bringing attention to the problems that arise when education is not properly funded and run.

The third and final reason Kozol successfully draws attention to the adverse effects of schools that are ineffectively run and improperly funded is the authorities and the outside information that he uses. He uses several different outside sources throughout the article all of which are credible. For example, within the first paragraph, Kozol uses descriptions of the school from the *Los Angeles Times*. Those magazines have a very high credibility and a high level of factual reporting. The other major authority Kozol uses is the teachers of Fremont High School. He uses information from the facility that works there to further his main point. The teachers know the students and the school better than anyone which means they can provide factual and trustworthy information on the issues occurring at Fremont High. Kozol also includes information from multiple different records including court and school records. For example, in the article, Kozol states, “maintenance records of the school report. “Rat droppings” are recorded “in the bins and drawers” of the high school’s kitchen.” (Kozol, 4) The use of these records demonstrates very credible information. They are not rumors spread by students that may or may not be true, but rather factual records kept by the school. Kozol is extremely successful in proving the credibility of his article because of the authorities and the trustworthiness of the sources that are used in his writing. This use of authority in Kozol’s article helps the reader trust the information that is being presented and therefore is an essential key in drawing attention to the issue of poverty in schools and how it affects students educationally.

Kozol’s 2005 piece, “Fremont High School” is an article that is extremely effective at bringing needed attention to how schools that are deficiently funded and poorly run can have a detrimental influence on the education of students. He does this through the many pieces of evidence and support that he uses in his writing, including quotes and photographs. Kozol also appeals to the reader by using descriptive phrases very well to create an emotional appeal that furthers his main point. He also uses credible outside sources and authorities which causes readers to understand his claim and to believe it. Kozol uses all of this information in a very skillful manner which leaves the reader pondering poverty's impact on education which was Kozol’s goal. The conversation about poverty needs to be happening constantly. It is a major issue in the world today and without articles like Kozol’s bringing attention to this problem, it would make little progress in being fixed. Poverty in the school system only leads to negative things, society must work together to resolve these issues. After all, the students of today are the doctors, scientists, and politicians of the future.

[no due date] is this good? the commas look off for me, I have to answer that question is for a high school application

What clubs, sports, programs, and/or service opportunities have you been involved in and what positive impact have you had on each?

A sport and service opportunity I've been involved in and impacted is swimming. Since I was a child around 5 years old, l've been swimming, I've done so because my whole life, I've felt as though it's my mission to swim because of my relatives, who were born from penurious mexican descent, some of them who had never seen a pool never had the opportunity to learn how to swim, but I, who was born into a home where we were able to afford to go to a pool, I've been able to learn how to swim and I remember growing up and teaching every relative I could how to swim, doing so filled me with jubilation. I felt as though I was doing the best service opportunity I could, teaching those who never had the opportunity to learn. Ever after that I ensued my passion and I currently do competitive swimming.

[No Due Date] Please read this letter to my boss.

I currently make $23/hr and am asking for a 4$ increase. Please tell me if there is anything you would change or add. Should I ask for more in case my boss wants to counter offer?

Thank you for taking the time to read this and respond.

Dear ****,

I hope this message finds you well. I want to start by expressing my heartfelt gratitude for being such a wonderful mentor and boss. You not only created this position for me, but you also recognized my potential when others might not have. Your support and encouragement have made a profound impact on my professional and personal life. Since joining the team in June 2022, I have truly loved working for you, and the sense of belonging you’ve fostered in our team has made every day a joy. I genuinely appreciate how you’ve made me feel valued and empowered, and I see a bright future ahead as we continue to grow together.

In my role, I have taken on significant responsibilities that I believe have contributed to our team's success, including:

  • Onboarding new agents weekly/biweekly, setting them up in the CRM, and managing their presence in GroupMe.
  • Running the Policy Outreach Campaign, where I lead a small team to improve client retention and collect referrals, passing them out to the original writing agent.
  • Monitoring team members during their shifts on Zoom, ensuring they meet their responsibilities, and addressing client needs.
  • Assisting clients with payment types, helping them lower their coverage amounts to make services more affordable, and contacting clients for missed payments as part of our NTO campaign to improve retention.
  • Filling out FWGs for clients, which required access to agent e-apps, until we streamlined this process.
  • Keeping track of **** and *****'s hours for payroll.
  • Running nightly reports to send to the team, helping them stay on top of their numbers for the week.
  • Looking up agents' daily sales in the CRM to record the details for our policy outreach campaign.
  • Recording agents' daily commissions from the MGA report, as well as daily and weekly bonuses, to track each agent's income.

This past year, I have personally helped save over $77K in annual premiums, and I continuously support our agents by answering questions and assisting with policy changes. My role has grown significantly, and I am dedicated to enhancing our team's overall success.

With all of this in mind, I would like to humbly request a pay increase of $4 per hour, bringing my hourly rate to $27. This adjustment would help reflect my contributions to the team and support my family, especially given the rising cost of living. For the next four years, my income alone will be supporting my family of three, as my fiancé is in school full-time. As a 1099 employee, I do not receive the same benefits as a W-2 employee, and I currently lack a 401(k) to save for my family’s future. This raise would enable me to start planning for long-term financial stability until my fiancé can contribute to our income.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I would love to discuss this further with you and hear your thoughts. I truly appreciate your support and everything you do for our team.

Warm regards, 

*******

[Due 2024-10-20 6:59 a.m. EST] Help with prepared speeches on personal development and environment

Hi everyone, I'd just like to ask for someone to proofread 2 of my prepared speeches for class because I'm not so confident in my writing as someone whose first language isn't English.

[Due 2024-10-10 11:59pm EST] Residency program letter of intent

Hi everyone!

Could you kindly have a look at my letter of intent (LOI) for my residency program? It is asking for the following:
Please provide an essay describing the following (max. 750 words / 4000 characters):

  • Your reason for applying for a residency program
  • Describe your attributes and life experiences that will make you a successful resident
  • How does a residency program align with your career goals?

"When I look in the mirror now, I see a life-long student. My goal is to move up from where I am and to become an outstanding pharmacist that is remembered by his patients, family and team for his selflessness dedication and service to others in improving and leaving a good mark in everyone’s lives. As Albert once said “What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal”. A legacy I am hoping to leave of being committed to never failing those who I am entrusted with taking care of. Clinically, I am somewhat timid, and not really sure of what I know. I am little uncomfortable on rounds, unsure of when to make an intervention or speak up if I notice a drug issue and when to let it slide. I am interested in building my autonomy to know by the end of this residency, in any given scenario, whether in a solid organ transplant ward of a hospital, or diabetes clinic, how to be adaptable. The autonomy I am hoping to get out off this residency will help me develop a skill set and ability to teach myself any clinical scenario in any clinical area, so that when the opportunity comes, I can take advantage of it. I want to see myself as a confident practitioner by the end of this residency by learning as much as I can from my team. Being a resident means spending a lot of time in your institution which will allow me to hopefully to develop lasting friendships and to be an integral part of the family.

I find myself to be resilient. Despite going through many hardships in the last two years of losing my father, being rejected entry into Malaysia and forcibly withdrawing from my long planned MPharm degree pathway, health collapse and the delay in processing of my Canadian’s MPH study permit resulting in being three weeks behind of class, and coping with culture shock, I was able to manage myself to go back on track, and to successfully pass my PEBC Evaluation exam in only 17 days of studying during the Fall break, and putting myself into this challenge and remembering myself, how far I have come and now it is the time to show how much effort I am willing to exert to reach my long planned goal, since my 2nd year, of becoming a pharmacy resident. My father was a product of an environment that fostered unhealthy lifestyle of smoking and prolonged desk sitting and eventually falling a victim of many comorbidities. Studying abroad in Egypt, and not being aware of his health status that was declining and inappropriately managed. Upon graduation, and coming to the realization of how different the outcomes would have been for my father who two months later had died of pulmonary embolism secondary to a diabetic foot infection and heart failure, I realized, how imperative it is to advocate against negligent care and to serve each patient the most optimal care. Wisdom for me is not the product of schooling, but the process of acquiring it. I am ever hungry for new knowledge. I am to remember why I have endured all that I have so far and never forget the impact I will be having on countless patients and their families. I hope by the end of time, I would have unconditionally given what I have learned throughout my journey of life for the greater good of all mankind.

I want to develop a skillset, but I am not sure where the field of pharmacy is going in 5 years. I know It has to be adaptable to the market needs. Even in the past few years, pharmacy has grown with immunizations and collaborative practice, and potentially becoming provider status. As the profession is growing, I need to develop the mindset and ability to teach myself grow alongside it. Being a resident in your institution will allow me to dive into the clinical practice. Additionally, a residency will pave the way for me to be a successful clinical pharmacy leader in Iraq by transferring my Canadian residency experience and modernizing pharmacy practice by implementing quality improvement projects and renovations to pharmacy department.

-F.J"

Thank you!

[No due date] Looking for Help with Copyediting My Fantasy Novel

Hi Reddit!

I'm currently working on a fantasy novel that I'm really passionate about, and I'm looking for someone who could help me with copyediting. The book is part of a larger series called Echoes of the Elemental War, and it features a world where dinosaurs and humans coexist in the modern era, with the story following an adventure filled with ancient mysteries and mythical dragons.

What I need:

  • Copyediting: I’m looking for someone to help with grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and overall flow to make the writing as polished as possible.
  • Fantasy Enthusiast: If you love the fantasy genre, that’s a huge bonus! Familiarity with similar genres will help you understand the tone and pacing of the story.
  • Attention to Detail: I want to ensure the story reads smoothly and doesn’t have any awkward phrasing or confusing passages.

If you’re a writer, editor, or just someone who enjoys helping fellow authors improve their work, I’d love to collaborate with you! I’m open to discussing terms for compensation if needed, or if you’re simply looking for a fun creative project, I’d be super grateful for your time.

Please feel free to comment or send me a message if you’re interested or have any questions.

Thank you so much for your time!

[Due 2024-10-07 10:00 am EST] 5-page literary criticism essay based on the book Solito

So I've been all over the place with this essay since I've been treating this as a research essay and not a literary opinion essay and I need a lot of help. I went to my college's writing studio and they helped a lot and the brutal feedback I got from my professor also helped. I've made a lot of revisions to try and fix as much as she's said and I would like for her to see what I've done but she doesn't respond to emails. I need someone here to help as this thing is worth a lot and I don't trust my eyes right now. Here's the essay link https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jjpg70CVqW8C8bR08G3KxlSvihgMH_z8Y_1e5Ex-feE/edit?usp=sharing (took the necessary out to remain anonymous) and here's her checklist:

Do you have a left-margin heading with your name, my name, the course, and the date written out?

  1. Do you have a right-margin heading with your last name and page number on each page?
  2. Do you have a creative title for your essay and are all important words in your essay title capitalized as they should be?
  3. Is the first line of each paragraph of your essay indented ½ inch?
  4. Does the first sentence of each paragraph serve as a topic sentence and set the tone of the content for the whole paragraph?
  5. If your essay has a direct quote from a secondary source, do you follow the direct quote with a parenthetical citation?  Example: According to one observer, “The wildfires were terrible” (Lincoln 229).
  6. Does the period always correctly follow the parenthetical citation after each of your direct quotes? Example:…(229).
  7. If you are citing from another source (s), do you have essay titles placed in quotation marks? Example: “The Inferno”
  8. Do you have book and film titles placed in italics? Example: Between the World and Me
  9. Have you correctly only capitalized words that are official proper nouns in your paper?
  10. Have you checked the proper MLA format on the Purdue Owl website for readings that you have placed on your Works Cited?
  11. If you are quoting poetry, are you using poetic slashes, ( / ) to indicate line breaks?
  12. If you are quoting poetry, have you remembered that poetry is cited by line number, NOT page number, in your parenthetical citation?
  13. Have you made sure that your paper does not have any sentence fragments?  Pulling up weeds.  vs. Jared was pulling up weeds.
  14. Have you checked your sentences for subject-verb agreement errors. Jared have four apples. vs. Jared has four apples.
  15. Have you checked your formatting on the Purdue Owl MLA formatting website? https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_works_cited_electronic_sources.html
  16. Read your essay aloud as a final proofreading exercise.

[Due 2024-10-6 11:59pm PST] looking for basic proofreading including comprehension please

Basic prompt: This assignment asks you to recall one "moment" of your life that expresses a broader significance, or that is somehow exemplary of a longer story, or a larger truth about you.

For example, your essay could narrate the minutes in a doctor's office waiting for the door to open. Through this recollection, you could convey the fear or the hope you experienced and that you tend to experience even beyond this one doctors visit.

[No Due Date] Just want feedback on the first 3 chapters of a Romantasy story I made titled "The Lost Relic of Serelith." PLEASE!!

Hello!!!! This is pretty much my first time writing a real story- so I just PLEASE wanted any and all feedback/criticism on the actual story, the title, the format, the plot, etc.

Warning: there is a tiny bit of cursing and a little bit of suggestiveness.

The plot: in the magical Kingdom of Serelith, Sana, an adept healer and baker, infuses her pastries with spells for entertainment. Her tranquil life is disrupted when Ash, a powerful prince from a faraway land, crashes into her life. Ash is searching for an ancient relic- the Heartstone, which is rumored to be the only thing to stop a monstrous creature-the Devourer, from ravaging the lands. His search leads him to Sana, whose familiar is rumored to possess the Heartstone, not realizing that fate has just spun its threads around them both.

Here is the link to my story:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RCItjpKA3B2UwvMHQ0k3uteg6H6eSYj7fOJimQg9CyA/edit?usp=sharing

Feel free to comment whatever you want and be as honest as possible!!

Thank you so much!!!! :)
