  • Short Story » General, General Re: Pieces of Time

    Since the others have thoroughly critiqued the mechanics, I'm going to talk on a bit of a more abstract, higher plane. The mother is a pretty good character. She has ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: View from the Crack in the Wall

    Much agreed with Wooster's critique of your wordiness and your "I'm sure you can imagine" stuff. The forty-plus sleepless hours showing like a broadway musical on my face. ...What? The ...

    This isn't a story. It's a list. A list of reasons why you like to wear purple-tinted glasses. I like the "Hello Darling" part. Then everything after that is just...well, ...
