Sandy Lulay : I really liked the story but I agree with MM that Selena needs a bit more background to set up her character. Keep up the good work:) Post more!! (09-Nov-06)
Author Reply: "Glad you liked the result, my lady. You helped me with your critique of my original draft, as you may recall. Two readers thinking Selena needs more makes me sit up and take note. Thanks." (11-Nov-06)

Mercy Manic : I liked it! Needs an edit for clarififcation on how events happened w/ Selena. Great use of imagery and metaphor, and a snappy ending too. (28-Oct-06)
Author Reply: "Thanks. So glad you enjoyed! I edited down the Selena events on advice from several other readers. The story used to include a lengthy flashback that detailed the John / Selena story. Deciding what to include and what to delete is a challenge." (29-Oct-06)

Sandy Lulay : Your journey through so many words in such a short time was very interesting. I tried one time to do the NaNoWriMo. I realized, for me, that November is not a good month to be "alone" and involved in such an intense task. I'd like to see one in June sans holiday cooking, holiday company.
It worked for you and that is amazing. Amazing and wonderful that by the end of the month you have renewed faith in yourself as a writer. Perhaps I will try it again when I am no longer caretaker of a large group of elderly relatives!
I would enjoy reading what you have written. Please share with us as you like. (20-Dec-07)

Sandy Lulay : I enjoyed this very much. You did capture the complex emotions of a couple trying to break up but where one or the other are not there yet. This does have a good flow. I'd love to read more of your poetry! (11-Jul-07)
|
thelliott : Very well written, though I think you should end it at "longer than it should." That's a very powerful part, and it breaks from the 4 line form of the start of the poem. Maybe work the last two stanzas above it? (15-Feb-07)
|
Mercy Manic : Dittoing Malcolm here: Very nice flow and the clarity of the complex emotion is spot on. I think a lot of people will relate to this. (25-Nov-06)
