Rachael, so glad I got to read your wonderful piece. I had lots of questions about what was happening and going to happen throughout, so I was totally engaged. Your advice for those submitting aligns with my values and so sensible. Very validating.

Hi Gretchen, this means a lot to me. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the story and that my advice makes sense. I'm still very much finding my way, so it's good to know I'm on the right track.

Beautiful piece! From the writing to the quirky and complex characters. Very well done.

Putting Thin Skin on my list. And your advice resonates for this fellow beginner. Reading/critiquing other works has been immensely helpful to me, too. I'll notice "mistakes" then see the same when returning to my own work.
