Hello. I have quite the interest in writing and hence have taken up on writing a book! It is going to be fantasy, where the main character time travels to another world. Here is an excerpt from said book, let me know if you would read the rest of the script!
The old Victorian house had once been grand and imposing, towering over the delicate landscaping of it’s yard. But it had fallen into disrepair.
The once white wooden planks had begun to rot, and ivy found it’s way up the walls. Gray shutters had begun to lean away from the crooked planks. Tall, lean windows had been filled with dirt and dust, and the shingles of the roof had begun to fall. The mild landscaping had turned into a dense thicket.
There was silence in the car.
“Well,” Mom said, “Let’s see the inside.”
Mom hopped out and began to pick her way through the used-to-be-yard.
“Coming?” She called to Cory.
“I guess,” Cory said, and landed gingerly on the ground.
Mom made it to the porch, and stepped lightly towards the door.
Cory hurried after her and carefully avoided the rotting planks.
Mom threw open the door.
“Wow,” Cory breathed, her brain spinning.

Sorry to barge in without even being in your friendlist! X) But I love this excerpt and would love to read more if you'll ever post something! I have just a mild doubt, is the use of "it's" opposed to "its" correct? English isn't my first language so I might be wrong :)
