    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.
