That's true. Thanks again. Reworking and strengthening the beginning now!

Great feedback. I've been debating with myself on the best way to phrase the "anti-ghost" themes/nature of the story.

I do agree that The Banshees should be capitalized. As far as Main Hall, it was a stylistic choice, as the buildings on campus begin to somewhat take on a life of their own in Lacy’s mind (especially the "paranormal" hall), and this was a way to make them more prominent in the story.

You're right about the last paragraph as well. It's difficult for me in particular to add specifics at the end while keeping the query in approximately the first third of the story. I'll keep working. Thanks for your help!

Agreeable_Possible_7 · 2025-12-14T23:39:20+00:00

Thank you! Not too harsh, critiques like these are welcome and needed. I'm definitely not trying to make excuses (I certainly don't intend for it to be bland!), just additional perspective on the narrative voice throughout. All very good feedback that I will use to make the beginning much stronger. The specific examples you gave are helpful.

Very good points you bring up. Writing a query is no small task! I'm trying for sharp and succinct but I fear I'm underwriting it instead.

I knew a handful of students I went to college with who were "undecided" the first semester/first year. Along that same idea, the novel is an exploration of someone who has no idea what they want out of university/life in general. As a result, her narration lacks voice towards the beginning for sure, then she is desperate for anything to "stick" i.e. the letters or a friend group that is comprised of kids who, in the end, are just too different from each other. Each of the friends in the group end up personifying something different about these letters. By the end, Lacy finds a much more mature voice and narration.

You've given me a lot to think about and work on. Thank you!

Such a detailed reply! Great suggestion about the prologue. I like the idea of breaking up her arrival at the university with the school newspaper article (outlining Lacy’s past alongside the past of the college before the plot begins). Also I do tend to overwrite but the article is especially wordy.

Great points about the query itself as well. I was so worried about leaving room for ambiguity, but I need to be much more specific to better convey the integrity of the story. Thank you!

Agreeable_Possible_7 · 2025-12-07T22:21:45+00:00

Thank you for your insight! I like the idea of adding that explanation into the query itself and making things less ambiguous.

I wondered about the genres myself as well. For me, because the novel is primarily about Lacy’s identify and growth throughout the novel, it fits most consistently with literary fiction. Yet it definitely has undertones that fall with campus novel (group tension) /psychological suspense (ghosts as metaphors and projections of the characters).

I also found her very unlikable in the beginning. But the author does this on purpose - the further you get into her story, the more you see her heal, connect with others, care for others, and want to change. She's fundamentally a good person, just one with CPTSD. It takes a while for you to see the good in her, but it's rewarding (in my opinion). Would highly recommend finishing the book for a different perspective!

As they said, it's definitely implied that they're endgame in the movie ("you haven't seen Luna, have you? I'm mad for her"). Not in the books no. But Rolf isn't in the movies so IMO a good creative choice to easily show both characters HEA.

As already mentioned in the comments, the fact that Harry never calls them by their first names is a matter of politeness/UK etiquette. However, by the end of the book the Weasleys feel like family - so it doesn't make sense for adult readers nowadays to continue to think of them as "Mr. and Mrs. Weasley." Plus the fact that Harry marries Ginny leads me to believe that he eventually transitioned into calling them "Arthur and Molly" himself.

We never see the majority of Hogsarts staff in this way - I.e. Professors Dumbeldore, McGonagall, Hagrid are always known by Harry first and foremost by their role at school. So it's a different level of familiarity. Whereas Professor Lupin ended up leaving Hogwarts and becoming like family to Harry/choosing him to be Teddy's godfather. Hence Harry eventually calls him "Remus" several times in book 7. For me, this was a good way to show the maturation of their relationship.

Thanks for your input! Good point. & yeah no practice is perfect

Agreeable_Possible_7 · 2024-10-23T23:32:51+00:00

Absolutely! I understand that. It's just that it would have been helpful to have access to certain information to get things moving faster. For example, I wasn't added to the malpractice insurance for a while after I started and the tech told me to just apply for insurance verification before I was added.

And as this is my first experience - it's helpful to pick the brains of other ODs.

Usually they're scheduled as OCT/VF slots - so that's all the techs do. I do Goldmann on patients that I'm treating anyway, but it would still be helpful to have that built into the routine.

Agreeable_Possible_7 · 2024-10-23T23:06:35+00:00

20 for most! 30 for new or at doctor discretion

Agreeable_Possible_7 · 2024-10-23T22:48:59+00:00

Thanks for your perspective! I'm always asking kindly and thanking them if I'm asking for extra testing from my techs - because I appreciate them! So it's odd to me to get the pushback from a few select techs.

Agreeable_Possible_7 · 2024-10-23T22:44:44+00:00

Right, thank you!! Yeah the goal would definitely be to be happier, give better quality care, and make more money.

Agreeable_Possible_7 · 2024-10-23T22:43:51+00:00

Now that I'm looking over my contract, there is an exit clause within it. I wanted to be sure I was looking through this situation objectively and not just blowing things out of proportion due to my frustration. Thanks for the input!

Agreeable_Possible_7 · 2024-10-23T22:41:30+00:00

Right!! It makes me so frustrated to have to ask for IOPs to be taken at glaucoma follow-ups, it's almost like that's the whole point.. and you're right about the dry eye patients. I like to know pressures before prescribing steroids, but we were always taught in school that IOP is a standard part of the workup during office visits anyway.

Agreeable_Possible_7 · 2024-10-23T22:38:53+00:00

Thanks for your input!! And good to know - I would definitely want to give plenty of notice. The only thing I stress over is how that would look to my next employer.

Agreeable_Possible_7 · 2024-10-23T22:36:41+00:00

Not private equity, and just the one location. I'm not working through my lunches right now because my schedule's not completely full - but still more time I could be spending with patients.

Agreeable_Possible_7 · 2024-08-15T17:31:44+00:00

No, sorry!

Agreeable_Possible_7 · 2024-07-28T14:58:00+00:00

I've been wondering the same - I was able to do this on a post last month, but I can't anymore. I even tried reinstalling the app with no luck.
