I think that you should not try to change the way he writes. You can advise him to make it simpler. I know you are trying to help but I am friend with a writer who told me that people who did what you have just done are polluters because they try to push their insense into somebody's else work.
I wasn't re-writing her story. I was just letting her know the things I felt could be improved. I think that she has a great story, but like every story (even best sellers) it just needs a little bit of work before it can be a complete product. All writers who take their work seriously do this. I, in no way, was trying to change her story. I was just letting her know what she could do to perfect it.
I think that KeddersPrincess gave me what I wanted, which was constructive criticism. I don't think that she's trying to change the way that I write, rather improve it. As you can see, my writing skills aren't perfect and can use a little fine tuning. I can absorb her feedback and learn from it so that I can grow as a writer. That's how writers learn. Oh, yeah, and I'm a girl.
Oh I haven't understand that you wanted someone to re-write the story. That's not the way you'll succeed in story writing, believe me. I write short stories too and have participated in some competitions. I have met some very good regional writers. What they do is that they have created a sort of group where you can read your story aloud to the audience and then they discuss about their work etc.. They do not re-write each other's story. Never, that's not the way writers evoluate. They listen to the criticism and they try to re-write in BY THEMSELVES paying attention what they've been advised to change, sometimes not changing many things at all.
Let's say that you are a special kind of writer. Lmao!
Now I just feel like you're trying to insult me. She gave me constructive criticism and I will do with it what I want. I'm not going to correct everything that she told me to correct, I'm going to make my own decisions about my own writing. She did advise me to change a few things, but its up to me wether or not to change them. She is in no way re-writing this story for me.

Then what did you mean by "special kind of writer?" Sounds like an insult to me.
