Do you think my story is good?
Im writing a story bout a 13 year old girl named Jackie
Heres the first chapter:
Yesterday was my birthday and guess what? I’m finally thirteen!!! I’m considered a teenager! That is a HUMONGO deal, im talking extremely big! Oh.. the things I wanna do! Today Syd and I are going to Juicy Couture place to get out hair done and after that were going to Sephora to get our makeup done. I am so excited. Last week I got my haircut to promote my new age! I got side swept bangs and layers. I dont mean to brag but.. I look uhhhmazing! I was in the living room waiting for my mom to get the car keys so we can pick up Syd for our fabulous makeovers! I was super duper excited!!! " I got the keys hun, lets go! " We got up & walked out the door. I sat in the front seat & turned on the radio to 103.7 the Q! I honked the horn 3 times to get Syd to come outside. She ran out the door. She was wearing navy blue denim jeans, a grey and pink button up shirt, and some brown flats. " Hey Jackay! " She jumped in the car and pulled me to the back. " Woah there! " I shouted as she was pulling me to the back.We both laughed. " Cute outfit Syd " I looked down. " Whats wrong Jackiekinz? Syd elbowed me softly. " I’m jealous.." " Are you serious, your outfit looks adorable! " I smiled. " Thanks Syd, i love you! " I said. " I know you do. " My mom parked and opened our doors, " you girls ready? " We both went " Chyea! " My mom smiled and we walked up to Sephora. A tall lady with black thick framed glasses and dark brown hair was waiting for us. " Hi! I’m Debby, i am gonna be your makeup stylist today. Now, which one of you is going first? " Syd nudged me, " birthday girl first! " I looked up and Debby and nervously smiled. I put my hands on the chair and pulled myself up & sat straight in the chair. Debby smiled and picked out some makeup from a pile of makeup. " Whats your name? " I looked up. " Uh.. im Jackie " She got all the makeup ready and started to apple a rosy color on my cheeks. " Pretty name. " Then she got a black liquid eyeliner and slowly put it on my upper eyelid. I closed my eyes for the eyeshadow. She put a shimmery greenish – goldish color, I opened my eyes. " Pretty!! " Syd was squealing. I laughed. She applied some mascara, lip gloss, and a rock star shimmer powder. " Ta Da! " Debby twirled me around positioned the mirror. I glanced at my mom and Syd, their mouths were wide open. I looked in the mirror, and for the first time in my life I actually felt pretty. " Oh hunny! You look absolutely amazing! " My mom gave me a hug when I hopped off the chair. Syd whistled, " You look hot! " I laughed. Syd was awesome. Debby looked at Syd and motioned her to the seat. Syd straightened herself and sat in the chai. She put a bright red blush on her cheekbones. Then she got a clear mascara and sweeped them on her eyelashes. She put a brown eyeliner on her top lid and a light pink cream eyeshadow. Lastly, she put a pink lip gloss and she smoothed a moisturizer over Syds skin to provide " a good base." " I’m done, both you girls look great! Also, if you girls want to buy some makeup just go over there. " She pointed to a spot with shelves of makeup. " Oh and I dont think you girls need foundation, you have flawless skin! Enjoy it while you can " We both looked great.. we both looked thirteen.
Thats it, tell me what you think!
I dont really want a career in writing, I just like to do it for fun! Also this is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO OMG SOO Not my best. This is probably my worst but I wanted to write it because being 13 is just fun, so I wanted to right about it.
I didn’t indent or start a new paragraph because I had to eat so I typed it really fast
You need to fix it. First, with every quotation you need a new paragraph. Next, separate it more because right now it looks like one big paragraph of random words. Also, your writing more like a teenager than a author, you have to understand some readers don’t want to read something that sounds like a child. Lastly, too many exclamation marks you could just put a period or, if you really want to get your point across, put only one.
It good but I think you need some more imagery.
There’s too much Dialogue and not enough of the story. It will get boring quick if you start your story off this way.
Seems to me like you started at the climax of the story instead of the exposition.
Other than that I think it will be a wonderul story! =)

It’s like a rip-off version of The Clique.
If this story is supposed to be about growing up, then it should be more about emotions and not going to Sephora to get your make-up done.
You have the ability to write well, you just need to focus your topic more. You have a lot of voice so keep trying.

I love it!! Nice job. I have two suggestions to help improve..
1) Not so many exclamation points.
2) Don’t go into detail when describing Syd’s makeover. After describing Jakie’s, readers don’t want to read more details. Besides, the main story is about Jackie right?
I really like this, keep going!
