I just finished the first draft of my new story, and was hoping some of you might be willing to critique it. It's 2,500 words long.

Thanks

I'd be happy to, if you'd tell me what kind of critiques you are looking for. [Smile]

Specific moments in the story that are rough/don't work/etc.

Usually using MSWord features like Comment, etc. work well for the kind of stuff I like.

Although if someone usually critiques a different way, that's fine too.

that's cool. While I know where I'm gonna send this story off to, I really don't have any deadline of when I want to send it by.

holy poo. I sent off a submission question to Leading Edge not more than 20 minutes ago, and already got a reply.

Talk about fast.

Calvin, I'd be glad to read your story if you want to send it to me right away. I'm at work and have very little else to do. I could probably have a critique back to you by morning.

I'll critique it, just send me a deadline with the story or else it won't happen. I'm motivated like that.

I'll read it, but I warn you I'm a perfectionist and will be really harsh.

Calvin,

I'd like to read your story. Just send it on over.

BTW, did you get the last critique I sent you? I sent it using the Webmail interface and was having trouble with it that day. Silly me forgot to ask you if you ever got it.

*clears throat*

I TOLD you I would, but you didn't send it to me. *pout*

That's okay. If you do send it my way, I promise to be as brutal as I would be with my workshop peers. [Smile]

Yes, but I wasn't sure when you wanted me to send it to you. ;-)
