Your tips have been helpful along the way. I actually have a story I wrote based on one of your exercises back in December. I've shelved it for some months since I've learned a lot since then. I'm hoping to make it work some day.Ashley Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825430932963064302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488804017860420818.post-43053119927453286062019-08-09T05:21:01.321-07:002019-08-09T05:21:01.321-07:00This is so true, Ashley.

I think, in these cases, a professional critique could be valuable. My full critiques currently start at only $32.50 and my book chat is currently free, plus I have inexpensive online mentor critique groups; a Rate Your Story Speedpass (not a full critique but a rating and comments) are only $25.00, conference critiques are $50 - $100, and others who give critiques that will give you this necessary feedback. I am always happy to see you here and answer your questions! Best of luck to you!

I'm looking forward to reading it to my son. The other day he came home talking about vowels.
