So I am writing a book, the start of the book sounds interesting even to the my "board" of readers. After a while I had 586 words in total **SO FAR** ,I am not sure if my writing is nonsense. This is my 5th revision of the book, all the other ones were nonsense - my teacher told me.

Is there a good way to tell if my writing is nonsense? I would ask the group if they think it's good, but I am beginning to feel like they just don't care.

**just to clarify, my readers haven't read all of them, my teacher has read 3 of them and the group has read 2.**

A short example:

> I locked my door and walked down the stairs. Missing all the blood and the occasional dead body on my journey downstairs. The hairdresser was dead, I was thinking about how would I have a haircut. If no one existed after this I wouldn’t care about my hair style.
