After some wonderful constructive advice, I have found myself an editor to help me become a better writer. An old friend, a former English teacher is now rapping my knuckles and attempting to teach me the difference between "showing" the reader and "telling" as well as directing me to fix myriad of other problems. I am working on a few stories, attempting to do better and enjoying the learning experience.
I don't have a timeline for my next story for anyone that might be interested. Sorry. I will say that it is another Sophie story, the last one being one of my more well received efforts.
Anyone thinking that they have a story inside them, I say, Write It. but grow a thick skin before posting. However, even if you are the only person to read it, Write It.
Thanks to everyone that has read my stories, if you enjoyed them or not, Thanks.
