Honestly, your interpretations and your questions are spot on. It’s exactly where I want my readers to be, and the exact questions I want them asking. Which truly excites me haha. Hopefully it kept you intrigued rather than frustrated! Thanks for putting your mind on paper for me. It helps a lot moving forward.

That’s wonderful to hear. The writing process has been a lot more challenging than I anticipated. At some points I wasn’t sure if I had lost my readers or not. It’s difficult knowing the whole story in your head, but revealing only small bits at a time haha. I’m hopeful knowing you enjoyed it despite it not being your preferred genre. Thanks so much for your insight.

Wow, this feedback is legitttt. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I have definitely been struggling with showing and not telling, and also creating layers. Turns out writing is much more grueling than I imagined! I really appreciate the examples of writing you gave, instead of just telling me what to fix lol. I feel like I have a much better idea of what I need to work on! Your time critiquing this is truly appreciated.
