Hi Raine,
Thanks for reading and for your feedback, it is really useful.
I like your suggestion about adding tension and about trying. My idea was to show what happens when you stop trying and how quickly things can spiral if you don’t reach out to people, but I think I can work out hints at failed attempts and create some more tension.

Hey guys,
Very excited and a bit overwhelmed to announce that I’ve been shortlisted for both the pitch perfect and opening chapter comps for this year’s Festival.
I submitted material for my second book, which is only at the planning (yes, actual planning, you did hear me right) stage. Grand total of 1400 words of it written, but it means a lot…[Read more]

Hi Elle / L.
I like this, I think the use of “you” works, and I like how each section is a little vignette giving further insights into how she is in different relationships. I like how you cover not only the submission in the sexual / intimate side, but across the board – hobbies, food types, etc. It’s heartbreaking how she wants the “right”…[Read more]
